This was entered into the Dremel contest as this project used a Dremel throughout for cutting all the holes by hand, large and small. Used a lot of drill bits, sanding drums, circular cutter attachments, a fast-change chuck (very handy). The reason I use a Dremel is it has lots of torque so ideal for cutting through perspex, motherboards and thin metal. I love my Dremel!

Making a handheld portable is fun and the ability to play a console on the go is also entertaining. Having a portable also means you don't need to be tied to playing on the family television, littering your floor also with power supplies, large console units and controllers which also have a habit of reeling around themselves making it awkward to set the system up in the first place.
Making vintage retro console portables into handhelds is a very good hobby to have, you learn new skills, have to do a fair bit of problem solving in the process; and end up with something special that only a few dozen other people have in the world.
Let me show you the principles of making your own Nintendo 64 portable. With these techniques, you can progress to other console systems too as the principles therein are similar to making other systems.
