Love playing N64 games on-the-go, but hate dealing with emulators on your laptop/PSP/etc.? This modder has just the solution: build a custom case, get an LCD screen off eBay, and stuff the internals of an old N64 along with a controller into it. Video after the break.

A little big for a handheld, but still an excellent job. I wonder how good is the battery :)

It would be really cool to see a portable Gamecube w/ a hard drive.

Make your own using my wiring diagram:

That's a nice N64p. If I'm not mistaken, that looks just like a creation from Marshellh.

Yeah, I've seen MarshallH's, and it looks a lot like that one. I myself am working on a Playstation One portable.

ummmm k this isn't a new thing

people have been making these for a while, theres like 20 different designs on benheck forums, the best imo being L64 or leet 64

Bulky but looks quite nice to me, not sure about the controls being on top of the screen though.

As XioN980 said, Ben Heck and his 'followers' have made some rather impressive portables over the yrs.

I wonder what the battery life on that beast is

Sweet. Still, no D-pad? some games will have issues

marshallh this is good work. I know this modder, I have talked a lot to him on IRC. Come to his channel #n64dev on EFnet.
