| I cannot remember what I was searching for on | | | | portable DVD player battery will do. The screen |
| Google images last summer (something having to | | | | itself is actually easy, because there are many |
| do with the N64), but I came across a N64 | | | | tiny screens out there that take audio and video |
| Portable. I was in awe, and immediately started | | | | input, that run at about 8v as well, and that is |
| searching for a place to buy them. Unfortunately, | | | | exactly what you need! |
| I soon found out that you cannot simply buy one | | | | There are many other things that you need to do |
| of these works of art, if you are to have one, | | | | in order to get a Portable N64 working, but the |
| you must make it yourself. It was at the | | | | concept itself is pretty simple. The reason I took |
| beginning of summer 2009 in which I started on | | | | on this project is I love to build things, and I love |
| what has now become a 7 month project: | | | | working with electronics. I am a future engineer, |
| portablizing my Nintendo 64. | | | | and I feel that this has definitely been a good |
| To put it simple, there are only three components | | | | project to prepare me for my future career. It is |
| you need to make a N64 Portable: the actual | | | | true that there are some wiring diagrams that |
| N64, a screen, and a battery. Oddly enough, even | | | | can be found for this sort of thing online, but the |
| though you plug your regular N64 into the wall to | | | | majority of this project has been completed |
| play, the system itself actually only takes about | | | | through trial and error. And now, I have come so |
| 8v to run. This makes the battery portion of the | | | | far to get this finally working and finished that I |
| project extremely easy, because just about any | | | | couldn't be more happy with the results. |
