We’ve seen portable N64s before, but none were at the level of [Bungle]‘s oversized N64 controller (http://www.made-by-bacteria.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1646) casemod.
Instead of the usual ’sanding Bondo and gluing styrene’ method we’ve seen in other casemods, [Bungle] decided to make a silicone mold with a positive master (http://www.made-by-bacteria.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1201&start=40). Not only did [Bungle] end up with a case indistinguishable from something produced in a factory, but the molding process left him with more internal room and the ability to make identical duplicates of his over sized controller.
The electronics are the standard fare – a slightly modified N64 with a PSone LCD screen. Because the rumble and memory packs are built in to the body of the gigantic controller, [Bungle] added a multifunction pak to provide ports for power, brightness controls, a/v, and a second controller.
This is an amazing build that really steps up the game for console modders. You can check out [Bungle]‘s demo video after the break.
