There's kind of two ways of going about this, right?
One is to think of it as "I have a functioning N64, how to I hack it into a handheld solution?".
This is a little rough, because it'll be hard fitting the guts of a system into a handheld controller (see https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Nintendo_64 https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Nintendo_64).
If you were to go this route, you're also going to have to figure out how to replace the power supply with a battery (probably some pile of lithium-polymer batteries and maybe some converters), and also some kind of display to pretend to be a TV (something like http://www.amazon.com/LCD-Display-Composite-input-Raspberry/dp/B00ETOCRSG http://www.amazon.com/LCD-Display-Composite-input-Raspberry/... ).
The other is "How do I run N64 ROMs in a handheld solution?"
In this case, look at an emulator (say, https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6761&p=402363 https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6761&p=40...) and then build the hardware around it. However, you have a bit more flexibility in terms of what you can pull off. You'll still have to solve the display problem though.
- yays 11y agoThnx man! Thing is that I have only found a few sources about these portable home consoles. Mostly they show off the handheld, not how to make it. Checking the prices for some games on ebay, it wouldnt be that bad to just buy them. That would also make it much easier for me. Thanks again!
