DIY Retro Nintendo 64 Handheld Console Mod

This is a good geek test. If you look at this project and think “Why would anyone ever want to take the time to transform a Nintendo 64 into a handheld console?” you might not be a hardcore geek. If you look at this and drool all over yourself like baby, well, there you go.

I have a feeling that the blogger behind Slightly Warped did this just because he or she could, and that’s a good enough reason for me. Of course, I wouldn’t want to take my original Nintendo 64 and do this, but if I had an extra one around the house, I might give it a go. I wonder how long it took to complete this process, and where the inspiration came from.

Unfortunately, on the original post, there isn’t a text tutorial. However, it’s documented step-by-step in photographs, and I’ve put a small sampling of those below. If you’d like to see the entire project from start to finish, just click over to the website. I remember playing this exact 007 game for a ridiculous number of hours many years ago. I also remember everyone back then saying it was such a violent game, which makes me laugh now. It’s funny how our perception of things, and games in general, change over time.
