Portable N64 Nintendo 64
The Nintendo Switch is a great console, but for those who prefer playing real N64 games without emulation, there’s this portable N64, created by none other than Ben Heck. To assemble the battery board, he basically took a PCB and made marks on the back of it to indicate where the 3D printed fan assembly is.



He then used the empty space to rebuild the power circuitry, while placing four 3.7 volt cells on top of the unit. Ben chooses to go with a 5″ PlayStation 1 LCD, ironically because of his history with the Nintendo PlayStation Prototype. Sony probably preferred 7.4 V because they were an early adopter of Li-Ion which scales in multiples of 3.4 V. The screen features an audio amplifier built into it.
