Hailrazer's N64 in a GameCube Gameboy Player

Post by hailrazer »



I finally got time to do another project.

I have always wanted to combine an N64 and a Gamecube. But how to do it?
Well I had a GameBoy Player laying around ....... would it work ?

Image

Well let's rip it apart and see.

Image

Hmm looks like it might work.

Image

But we need to trim it up a bit.

Image

Now let's see if we can get some controller ports in there.

Image

Image

Now for the hard part , let's get that darn N64 in there ...........

So now I had to do some re-working.

1. Add Ram HeatSinks
2. Trim the N64 main board.
3. Fold the cart slot.
4. Trim and fold the expansion pak.
5. Re-wire the controller ports.
6. Wire power.
7. Wire audio/video

Image

Wow !!! I got it to fit. Now will it fit with an Everdrive 64 in there ????

YUP !!!!

Image

Now let's get those wires out somehow :

Image

1. Wire it up to the Gamecube power
2. Wire it up to the Gamecube Audio/Video
3. Add a switch to switch between the 2
4. Add a reset button
5. Add a power led.

FINISHED PRODUCT !!!!

It is but the N64 board is not that small. I cut it down quite a bit.
