Make your own Portable Nintendo 64

We’ve seen plenty of DIY portable consoles in the past (Atari, PS3, NES, Xbox 360, you name it) through standard text and picture tutorials. This time, however, we have a snazzy video tutorial. “Building a smaller, more portable package isn’t rocket science, but making sure you have the right tools, parts and instructions will insure your mod will be a successful one.”

Don’t miss out:

could you use the screen on the dvd player instead of buying a PS1 and having to use that as your screen

can you use one of the screens from one of the gameboy colour or gameboy advanced

Nope, you cannot use a screen from a ds, gba, sp, or any other screen that does not support analog video input. That includes 99.9% of portable dvd players. PSX and hipgear screens are easy and cheap. I suggest they be used.
