/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't like destroying consoles for bullshit.

>>2106030
not op but maybe the original n64 case was damaged or destroyed in some way and this guy just did this project to salvage the system?

>>2106031
or the gba

>doesn´t understand the potential it has
>doesn´t know modifying a console can mean improving its components to the point where you like it more
>doesn´t understand making a home console a portable means you don´t need anything else to play it

>>2106041
Go back to /v/ with your greentext. No reason to destroy consoles.
If you want to modify them for region free mods, rgb, or something along those lines that's different.

seems silly to me to mod old hardware like that as ther is many good emulators

>>2106030
Well, if you know what you're doing then you won't destroy the console. Some people aren't happy with emulators and making the console portable could perform the desires of playing some favorite games anywhere. Other people like you won't see any necessity of this and will play on TV.

>>2106087
Also, playing anywhere without sharing TV with relatives it's something I always wanted on my childhood. We had only 1 TV for a period of 2 years.

>>2106030
Pretty harsh, dude. Seems like a cool project to me. GBAs are pretty abundant anyway. We're not killing the local wildlife here.

>>2106041
>doesn't have pubes

>>2106025
Ive been wanting to make something like this, But I cant seem to find tutorials anywhere just videos of others showing off theirs. Anyone?

As nauseating as destroying a console makes me, this thing looks pretty solid design wise. The photos really dark but it looks like they cut nice fitting holes for the C-Pad at least. I wonder what the back looks like, honestly.

>>2106148
Kidding, didn't see the video link. This looks badass and he did a wonderful job.

>>2106096
He used a case of a GBA, not the GBA itself

>implying /vr/ would play N64 on LCD whether it was portable or not.

>>2106058
>No reason to destroy consoles.

Plenty of reason to destroy consoles.

>>2106037
>>2106096
>no GBAs were harmed in the making of this video
you retards should watch the shit before adding in your own personal soundtrack

>>2107025
I ain't spending data on some fucker's YouTube vid, bro. Call me a retard again, though. Makes me nostalgic for the early 90s.

>>2107025
I don't know about you guys born after 2000 but drilling about 5 holes into a GBA destroys it.

>>2107041
>spending data
>not having unlimited data per month
Enjoy 3rd world

>>2106030
>I make shitty excuses when I'm jealous because I'm a fucking moron

>>2107156
Ya I'm so jealous of a GBA that's too fat to be portable anymore, terrible stretched image, still needs the huge n64 carts, and has horrible battery life.
Got me!

>>2107073
hey stupid, you think a GBA is THAT much bigger than the N64 cartridge? It's a CASE for a GBA

at least try to listen before you open your mouth

>>2107428
Well you sure id prove your reading comprehension is that of a child's. Maybe throw a few more words at me that with that caps lock.
Though you're probably just too stupid to see the C buttons and GC stick that were drilled into it.

>>2106025
>Have you guys ever created something like this?

>>2107437

not that guy, but you're a dumbfuck. If you'd watch the video before insulting people, you'd know that it isn't made from a GBA, but the carrying case FOR a GBA.

Fucking derp. Think before you post, and read/watch what you're commenting on before being an asshole to someone else.

>>2107448
Sorry for not giving to shits about garbage.
And what about GC stick and N64 controller buttons along with the N64 board/pin connector?

I'll wait for that explanation.

>>2106025
>stretched widescreen

What a waste

Man, you guys must really hate Ben Heck.

>>2106030
Yeah there's only a billion gameboys out there, better treat each one like a priceless artifact

>>2107041
>spending data

>>2107502
Just because they're not some obscure thing you can show off to your hipster friends doesn't mean they're worthless.

>>2107521
>mean they're worthless.

Well. They are. They're mass produced toys.

I think I'm going to have my game collection burned and crushed when I die, just to spite people like you.

>>2107513
>not spending data

>>2107534
Have fun.

>>2107461
>I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DESTROYED A GBA!
>>they didn't destroy a GBA
>YES THEY DID STUPID
>>it's a case
>I DON'T EVEN CARE ANYWAY

Gamecube analog sticks can be bought for like $0.50. Analog stick modules are also very cheap.
Those buttons are obviously cheap pieces of plastic.

>>2107574
Ignored the n64 parts and assuming china knock offs. Good job.

>>2107582
And at the very top of the reply chain
>>2106031


Why are you so personally upset about this?

>>2107582
those buttons are knock offs
the n64 controller buttons never looked like that

>>2107591
>>2107589
Why would I be mad about it? mu point was a console had to be destroyed to make this. And that is a fact. Not sure why you're trying to argue that.

>>2107598
I don't know, why ARE you mad about it?
No one's saying a console wasn't destroyed to make this, that's obvious. But people are arguing that:
1. It's not a big deal.
2. The console was already broken.

You seem so personally wronged by this. Like you're jealous.

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC

>>2107613
Are you're the retard spamming the jealous shit. Ok well enjoy that stretched image and all else that is wrong with it.

>>2107617
Okay.
End of argument?

>>2106025
my classic gameboy i got for xmas of 94 broke so I was thinking of making it into a backlit emulator/gameboy

>inb4 google it hurrdurr

I have other gb and handhelds that work fine but recently I've been wanting my og gameboy restored so any links or tips on modifications would be appreciated

pic related : my gameboy thats been through years of gaming during multiple hospitalizations

>>2107645

Console portablizing used to be a relatively big community which is now dead.

>>2106025
Too dumb to do that kind of stuff. Most I've ever done was solder a 9V battery clip to a Flashback.
Works, but for some reason I never looked into it still drains the battery even if the system is off. (Power switch is mechanical I'm sure.)

I used to fuck around with stuff like that but gave up when i realised the end result was generally always next to pointless
Now I have 2 or 3 half finished projects on my desk that have been collecting dust for a few years

>>2107702
make someone pay for it then.

>>2106025
That's got to be the nicest looking handheld N64 I've seen. Would be nicer if it had a larger screen. The other ones I've seen look like boxes with no ergonomics at all.

>>2106030
>LOOK AT ME GUYS! I'M A HUGE PURIST! DO I FIT IN YET?!!!!!

>>>/v/

Stay there until you grow up, kid...

>>2107613
But that simply assumes you couldn't do it with several broken consoles.

The remarkable part is the skill it takes to adapt a console to make it a portable.

>>2110054
stop trying so hard
