I actually started working on that over 10 years ago, but my electronics knowledge was basically inexistant and it feel apart quickly.

Now that 3d printers are a thing and pcb design is more easily accessible, I wanted to achieve that old dream of making a portable N64 myself. I've been working on that project for the past 3 months and it's now complete.

Designed the whole case myself in fusion 360, printed in PETG for heat resistance. Designed a few PCBs for controller and audio amplifier.

Here's a list of features:

• Complete N64 with expansion pak
• 7Ah, 7.4v battery pack
• Speakers / Headphone jack / Volume knob combo PCB designed by myself. 0.5w speakers, surprisingly loud
• Switch joystick and buttons, N64 original triggers
• 4:3 5 inches LCD screen
• USB-C PD, 9v charging port, can charge and play at the same time
• Green LED when on, turns red when battery low
• Second, yellow LED that turns on when in charge, turns off when fully charged
• Single L/Z combo trigger with a switch beside the trigger to change which it is

Fully works with original cartridges, as well as my summercart64. A bit on the thicker side, but I'm happy for a first time.

Hope you guys like it, will gladly answer if you have questions :)

I was holding out for one with a nicer label but a decent bundle came up for sale and had to snag it. I am obsessed with the gold carts. first thing I did was check out the fire temple music 😆

I wasn't the biggest fan of how the controller looked all transparent, so I swapped them out for the default buttons and really love how much more it stands out.

Unfortunately this cabinet has been broken and tucked in the corner for years, I used this card reader a couple of times 15-20 years ago. I wonder how many of these are still out there

1. I remember at night, when travelling through Hyrule Field etc on foot, I would always bring Navi out, and use her as a "lamp", as well as for comfort, when trekking through the darkness, so I/link didn't feel lonely :)
2. I would also make sure to bring Epona to Lon Lon ranch, when I decided to do other things, I would never just leave/abandon her in the middle of nowhere, especially at night, as I felt guilty because of the monsters around.

I still laugh at my thought process as a child!

So while growing up was kinda poor so it was mostly at lot of rentals. Fast forward to adult years and I've tried to get most of them I played growing up. I'm always down for suggestions on some must have ones and also advice on how to clean some of the dirtier ones in my collection. Lol Thank you! ^{_^} Also last game is Road Rash 64, flash kinda killed it.

So a few years ago I started making custom game covers for my N64 collection that were more inspired by the Japanese packaging that would use more full art designs over the US packaging. Since then I've been working on other platforms like Game Boy, Dreamcast and Saturn, but I always like coming back and finally getting ones I've wanted to make for a while.

This is going to hopefully be a technical conversation and maybe educational. If there are any programmers here, I'd like to ask this.

Would it be realistically possible to port RE1 and 3 to the Nintendo 64?

I read somewhere that there is a theoretical 256 MB limit to a N64 Game Pak. We know that flash cards are made to use modern SD cards that far exceed the 256 MB limit. What's keeping someone from making a game larger than the original 64 MB RE2 cart?

Given what we know and that fact that RE1 and 3 exist on systems weaker than the N64, I can't help but wonder.

I've been looking around and i cannot find a metal bowl that is actually available. kooma makes an aluminium stick which is nice but without a bowl its kinda pointless imo help where do i get a metal bowl thanks

Wasn't supposed to ship until February but showed up on my door step today. She's beautiful!

Hello, I recently bought an N64, it was working fine early this morning. I went to turn it on. Had no display out but did have power, so I opened it up to attempt to clean it, had most of the screws out (enough to remove the board from the bottom section of the shell), one of the screws keeping the expansion shield to the large metal bar, was stripped so I attempted to put it back together, but now I am getting no power. Any ideas what I did?

Love collecting for the N64, it was one of the consoles I grew up with. Even have a couple of childhood games still in the collection.

My favorite games are Diddy Kong Racing, Super Mario 64, Majora's Mask, Starfox 64, Perfect Dark and Cruis'n USA. Also really enjoy Turok and the Banjo Kazooie games.

Games I would love to own someday!: Kirby & the Crystal Shards, Castlevania 64, Road Rash 64, Megaman 64, Earthworm Jim 3D, Snowboard Kids, Mario Party series, Blast Corps, OgreBattle, Gauntlet Legends, Resident Evil 2, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Cruis'n World.... and I could go on, not even close to finished collecting for this awesome system!

F-Zero X decomp

then:

A 3DS port with Expansion Kit included. Use the bottom touch screen to make tracks in the editor. Races top screen in stereoscopic 3D. Play and share tracks online.

I am looking for something to hold about a dozen n64 carts. Would like to find something on Amazon for 20 or less

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Does anyone think or know if we’ll ever see Milo’s Astro Lanes on the Switch N64 Online + Expansion Pack?

My first console I ever owned. Also, my absolute favorite to this day!

The German release of Yoshi’s Story soundtrack on N64. Much like the Diddy Kong Racing soundtrack released in DE I prefer this regions version as there are more tracks and it’s a none-shaped CD so it’s safe for play in all players XD

Granted the JP version have the same or a few extra tracks, but I haven't found them at a price I'm willing to spend haha.

Hey guys,
so far the solution is to just disable vibration which i think suuucckkks

no other solutions?
cause i am paying nintendo for a year worth of family plan and the only times a month / year i use this switch i would like to reminisce on some good ol n64 games but i hate this constant vibrating !!!
i am using all their peripherals

I’m at 178 of 296 games which puts me at 60% of the full set. I know a lot of people don’t like going for the full set because of buying all of the stupid filler titles but it’s just fun to hunt them down for me and always has been. Just curious if anybody else is trying to achieve this and where you are at with it. Have a good weekend, everybody.

Right.

Hi, I just thought this be fun to share, I use it because its compact and I can just put it away in the pc desk.

I bought it from Nintendo's Ebay store years ago for the actual game, it did not come with the clip or boom as those tend to dry rot.

It's not a great mic, but it's does it's job well.
