I thought this video and the others on the channel were gone forever. Glad to see them restored! Even compared to modern mods, these are still neat and really stand out. They still look really cool. The only outdated thing about the other mods here is the use of CD drives. Hopefully these videos can stay up and can inspire future modders that want to make their own portables.

It needs to be mass produced? Why? You think this would do well on the market when people can play N64 games on the go with emulators. I mean I know your comment was from 3 years ago but with the Switch being a think now you can play Zelda Botw on the go. Carrying around a handheld with a cartridge as big as the device around it hardly practical.

[@SirSiegward]

@@harrystubbs713 6 years ago as from today, I don’t really think that you could use emulators on the go like this portable machine he has made. Or atleast I couldn’t.

[@harrystubbs713]

@@SirSiegward In 2015? Sure you could. My friend had a phone thst had the entire SNES library on it on like 2012/2013. My Dad had a PSP with N64 and Playstation games built into it long before that. I guess it was harder to do back then than it is now but it was still possible. But besides that, Mario 64 was remade on the DS and Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Star Fox were all remade on the 3DS in like 2011. Sure they are not exactly the same games and some people hare the DS port of Mario 64 but you could carry over 20 DS/3DS cartridges in the space it takes to carry 1 N64 Cartridge. But I love Mario 64, but if it was the choice between not playing it on a bus or carrying this thing around eih me, then I choose the first one.

You should really try and get some buttons and a case etc made by a 3D printer if you can, loads of hobby stores have them. The electronics work and everything is great but the casing could use some polish, making some custom parts with a 3D printer would finish it off nicely.

[@Schmidty030]

{{{To anyone who wants something like this}}}}} Just buy a handheld nvidia shield, it plays n64 games great.

[@jonjandran]

1: Nvidia shield came out late 2013 , I built this early 2011. So yea, not an option at the time. 2: Nvidia shield still plays N64 via emulation which is not perfect. This plays them with real hardware perfectly. So yea there's that also :)

[@Schmidty030]

Well, I've seen what people charge for homemade portable n64s and man, I think the shield is good enough for me.

[@jonjandran]

I have one and I like it. A very nice piece of technology. But there's something to be said for the original hardware and carts. Emulation doesn't "feel" the same. It loses something in translation :)

[@Schmidty030]

Eh yeah I guess. And I just went on amazon, turns out brand new nvidia shields are hella expensive now as well. I'm glad I got mine back in 2014.

[@linkinboss2]

it really depends on what you want to play. N64 is awful except for a handful of games. many of them don't run at all, so this makes a lot more sense than in other platforms that are better emulated

[@shadowdog889]

How much would it be for you to make me one of those

[@theHuGoroN]

I think it's in the 1000$ range because the custom work. (To be exact I've never built myself N64 portables but did custom my PSOne to work from the car cigarette lighter and to have a screen) Its 1-2weeks of work and the parts. So if we say a a monthly salary of 2-3k$ and its roughly one third of a month so 800$ for the time and 200$ for the parts that include the console finishes and other out sourced parts you need. That sound reasonable.
