Alright.. so the Last64 wouldn't be my last 64... and the portable cycle repeats.. so now that "all" the work is already done, i thought i might do a worklog xD
I got triggered by the nice worklogs & build by @CrazyGadget @Gman and more, to get back into it. I still had a bunch of N64 boards by hand, like a PIF relocation board and even a N64Amp.
1. PIF Relocation - Failed.. hard, did another board
Well i did this akira terminator mod, gave it a little of my touch.. (didn't have any res arrays to hand)
Funfact: You need 2 caps for it to boot, 3 to make mem-exp work and 4 to keep it from crashing
with that out of the way i rocked my first rcp relocation!
oh yea, i did a ram swap, too
... currently i think i dont need the pif relocation anyways 
alright, let's talk chrome!
--> N64 / 8MB / Sliminated - Check
--> Screen? 3.5" since this is a smolish boy, jo! (and there is nothing between 3.5 & 5" available)
--> RGB Adv. 2 or Pico when it rocks
Controller - I'm currently checking out this cool project & already got it working! (after fixing a major issue in the code xD)
Anyways it looks like a fancy n64+ alternative
But choom! What's with da green stuff, ya know?!
There is the "LibrePD" basically a clone of the schematic i used for power delivery in the PS2DMG
slowly getting a hang of kicad..made some fancy - totally not cloned - pad footprints, makes placing easier, access from both sides of the pcb.. also i dont need to mess with value labels anymore..
Next up the line, my interpretation of the "LibrePMS64-Slim":
wanted to make it slim, with 14x52 and only 2 layers i think it came out kinda cool
Want some fresh 3D CAD BD's, bro?!
something like this.. a little smaller then the last64.. when i would fit a 5" screen it would be exactly as big
So next up.. more (Ki)CAD i guess
