portable n64 straight from hyrule

It’s becoming quite normal for amazing DIY portable systems to pop up everywhere. If it can play games, someone’s going to try to make it portable, and the Nintendo 64 is one of the most popular candidates for such projects. So what’s a portable aficionado to do to stand out in such a crowd? Why, give it a theme.
The N64 never looked so good in green before! But it’s not just any green, but Zelda green. After all, the N64 is home to the fan-renowned title The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.
Oh… well–Majora’s Mask is pretty good, too.
This portable system is less than eight inches wide, which means it’s wider than a Nintendo DS, but not quite so long as the PlayStation Portable. At 1.5 inches thick, that’s truly a tiny N64! It’ll even take the expansion pack.

so good, thanks for the review
very interesting!!… looks like a psp but with all N64 stuff
A little rough around the edges. A clear case would be great as well. But seriously, N64? the graphics are pure rubbish. Try PS2 at least.
Um, its a great piece of work, and you’re going to criticize that they did it with a 64? How freakin snobby and pretentious is that?
First of all, I would just like to take the time to say I do think it is a great project, that needs a little improvement. Evey thing needs constructive criticism. In this case, the hole around the fan is a bit choppy and possibly sharp, so improving that could easily be done by using the correct size core drill bit. (google core drill bit)
Second, the screen needs a little work. It’s just “placed” there. It’s not recessed or anything. Think of car stereos if you will.
Third, the buttons and cut outs also need some work as you can see.
And not to mention the small screen would make it incredibly hard to play games, especially with the low resolution graphics that is the N64.
We all loved goldeneye and mario kart/64, but let’s leave the past in the past.
I can’t honestly see any practical purpose for this other then novelty project out of boredom.
The small screen would actually be a plus for low resolution.
I disagree. I think it would be incredibly hard to see everything because the screen is smaller.
ok first off screw you guys that is freakin awesome the world could use less people like you and second of all dude nice work keep it up dude.
Only a true gamer would have heart enough to bring the past back and you guys are tryin to get rid of it f*ck u people dude please keep it up that is one of the best things i have ever seen. and i would love to know how you did it.
Dude thats really cool. Hey for all you N64 haters, just take your crap somewhere else. What are you going to say about your favorite games now when they’re in the past, huh? I would rather play my N64 than a 360 any day, in fact, I got rid of my 360 because of the stupid red ring. The system can’t even function properly. But anyways, great job dude and keep it up.
And to be honest, i don’t think i could play a game with incredible graphics, if it had horrible gameplay. Forget the graphics man, its about having fun and enjoying the game, Not being blinded by the too bright details on a game.
I say it’s cool. This could put it bacb in gamestop stores.
You mean back
