Starting pieces

 This is the nintendo 64. 

This is the toaster that the n64 is going into.  My goal is to load the game from the top (like bread), have the engagement lever turn the system on, and have the knob adjust LEDs to make it look as if it is glowing red.

This is the motherboard taken out of the case.  The top left holds the power supply, the top right is the a/v port, the bottom corners are controller ports, the 3 silver squares are the CPU, RCP, and the RAM.  That rectangular piece around the top is the cartridge slot, where you plug the game in.

I need to relocate the cartridge slot.  When you pull it out, you expose 48 pins, which are tinned with solder in the picture.  I needed to run a wire from each pin to the corresponding point on the motherboard.

This is a picture of my first cart slot relocation which not only took 6 hours, but didn't work.  So after this I had to buy more n64s :( 

Teaching Gay how to solder 

This is my second attempt at the cart slot relocation.  I made the wire's different lengths, to adapt to a 90 degree turn., which is why they are different colors.  The game is plugged in just for stability.

Soldering those wires to the corresponding solder points. 

Success!  

In this picture i relocated the controller ports.  One is longer than the other because of it's placement in the case. 

Holes drilled for the rca ports.  Those are the yellow red and white plugs you used to see on devices like.

Holes drilled in the front.  Those four holes will house the controller ports. 

This is a piece of metal i'm going to use to mount the motherboard into the toaster.  I cold welded some nuts on the back so I could use bolts, because I don't want to have exterior holes.

 The mounting bracket being epoxied into the toaster case.

That is the junk motherboard from the first mess up i'm using for placement.  There you can see it mounted in the toaster.
