The Disassembly

I'm back to posting - this time, for good. I'm still making progress on the Nintendo 64, so expect relatively frequent posts from now on.

In this video, I explain and demonstrate a relatively reliable and cheap method of taking the N64 apart. For those of you playing the home game, you will need to have several pens (preferably dead ones so that you don't waste them) and a lighter (or matches). You may also need some patience, because this can get difficult at times. This video was recorded on July 3rd and edited on August 9th.

Stay tuned for more posts and progress on the PN64!

The Unwrapping

First of all, sorry for the lack of posts. I've had some issues with the videos I recorded, but they seem to be all sorted out now. Second of all, because of this, I have a huge backlog of updates to get to! The progress has been great so far. I don't want to spoil anything, so you'll have to see what's happened when I upload it.

Here's the first video I've made and uploaded to YouTube (for the record, it was made on June 15th). If it pauses in the beginning, just press play again. The annotations don't work properly in the embedded version.




Nothing much has been accomplished in this video, but I show off the N64 a bit and talk about opening the console and future advancements. I'll continue to upload the videos at a pace of one per day until I run out.

See you next time!

An Introduction

Hello all! First of all, I'd like to thank those of you who have already followed this blog. Trust me, you won't regret it. This post is mainly going to be for future viewers of this blog who are wondering why it's happening in the first place, but feel free to read it if that doesn't apply to you.

First of all, I go to Mira Loma High School. This school offers the International Baccalaureate program, or for those of you who are unaware, it is essentially a program for nerds smart people. I am in this program (or, more specifically, the Middle Years Programme). As a result of this, I must do something called the "Personal Project". Although you can probably figure this out from the title, you have to do anything you're motivated to do and will learn from. In this case, creating a Portable Nintendo 64.

For said project, we must keep a process journal of everything that happened and any research that was done on the subject; thus, a blog comes in handy for this. Since it would be quite boring to read my notes on specific websites or articles about Portable Nintendo 64s, I'll only be posting things that have to do with the creation of the physical project itself. I'll be keeping everyone up-to-date with blog posts including pictures, video, etc. If you want to subscribe to the project's YouTube account, you can find do so at the YouTube channel called NebulousMods. I'll be posting some pictures here of my newly-bought Nintendo 64 and possibly some videos later as well. Stay tuned!
