Looking more Fisher Price than Nintendo, the guts of an N64 have been squeezed into the bright red handheld case by modder Bacteria, who spent four months slaving away on it devotedly. There’s a 5-inch screen, built-in speakers… and rumble pak!
Bacteria’s created a video tutorial spelling out the process so you too can dust off that console from out of the attic and turn it pocket-size. He used a 5-inch screen from a PSone and runs on just two Canon camcorder batteries, giving three hours of juice. [Bacteria via Retro Thing via DVice]

To answer some of the queries above – as per the first part of the video, it showed how easy it was to change game cartridges. This system uses only original hardware and original game carts, no ROMS – all legal bought game carts and original N64 hardware!
The “Z” button sits right next to my index finger, so extremely easy to press, as shown on some of the game videos. The system is very comfortable to hold too.
