Building a Portable Nintendo 64

No skills required! No soldering. No wiring. No 3D printing. No thinking, just having. This documents my venture in building a portable N64 using things I found on Amazon.

[@metroid031993]

Random thing I noticed as a dumb kid trying to make a portable n64 that could actually be useful: IDE cables actually fit on the pins on the bottom of the n64 cart slot (which just pops out) so potentially you could use a few to extend the cart slot, if you soldered some pin rows into the motherboard. You'd want to use the ones with less wires, since the ones with more/smaller wires tend to have a piece in them that shorts a bunch of pins which are usually ground. Alternatively, you'd just pull out the metal tab that does the shorting, but that requires disassembling/reassembling the end connector, which isn't terrible but a decent bit more work
