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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@harrystubbs713 It would be cool as a collector's item. You can pretty much play Snes games on potatoes now and the snes mini still sold out for months on end.
hands down the best thing ive seen as in portable retro games.. you've made the future for the N64. now they just need to start selling those officially.. need one asap!
@@your_stepdad yeah, i play n64 games on my phone using a ps4 controller and it works perfectly. same with ps1, ds, psp, gba, and even some dreamcast and gamecube games work surprisingly well. i have a pretty high end though.

I grew up playing the N64 and Game Boy Advance not liking how there was no light making it hard to see which actually upset me but something like this I would wanna play on. For the N64 I played games like Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye, The World Is Not Enough, Super Smash Bro's, and so many more. This is pure genius here.
Well this is a real n64 build but if you wanna make one use iQue player it is an offical 80% smaller n64(not emulated) released in china whenn console ban came in if you need help by jailbreaking the iQue visit iQuebrew on disscord

You are simply one of the most brilliant people I've ever seen on TH-cam. Two reasons why. 1. You made a portable N64. 2. You know how to make a portable N64.
Something like this is waaay out of my league, though my aspiration is to be a techie, I don't have the know-how to make one of these. But I am going to go to college to make one of these this year! :D
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.
Cannot believe it has taken 11 years for this video to cross my path! Awesome job!! 🙂👍👍👍 I would love something like this, no doubt, 100%!!! But with a dpad. I love the dpad. 🙂
if you sold these things on eBay I'd totally buy one, my wife wouldn't even be mad either cuz she loves the n64 games. BTW Turok and Doom 64 would kick ass on that thing
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 :)
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 :)
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
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.
ok I’m watching this in 2018 and it’s still fantastic Nintendo really should to be open for a project like this. You’re amazing you should to make more and sell for the fans of this amazing console!
Damn that's amazing. Now-a-days when we get a game we have to select it, wait for it to update, go through the company develop bs, and then we get to the start screen.

I loved this homemade handheld since I was a little boy. I was stunned for words and so excited. I felt like I had one but didn't and wanted one lol 😂
yep you are so old.
Nintendo wants to know your location...
I can only imagine how people would have loved that back when the N64 was released.
i´ve just seen it and i tell you.... i love it right now !!!!!!!!!!!
I want one now
Now you can just get emulators all the way up to like the PS2 on your phone.

You are really talented. Youre also not afraid of breaking anything.
Wow that GBA carrying case is really convenient that it existed, it's perfect for this
Love seeing stuff pre-3d printing products

Can you trim a N64 motherboard to accomplish this, or did you get a custom circuit board?
According to the description, he cut up the motherboard for it to fit. I wonder how precise the process is.
{{{To anyone who wants something like this}}}}} Just buy a handheld nvidia shield, it plays n64 games great.

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

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.
