    Remade dmbjunky's N64 portable

    Ended up making 2/3 of a system from scratch, however; the list of improvements were:

    * replaced the old screen with a better one. Also gives better battery life!
    * used NES dpad and board so works like a NES controller now
    * no ridges over the button areas now
    * shoulder buttons work evenly
    * larger speaker for better audio
    * fan in center of system so virtually silent now
    * provided a relocated memory cart port as his memory card failed. Easy to open system and put card in as a result.

    Took quite a bit of work.

    Internals pics:

    Front


    (note the relocated memory card port - there is plenty of space there for a card to be slotted into)

    ...and i've put a diagram on there to show which way up to put the card.



    System is easy to open up, only held together by two strips of duct tape. Fast to open.
