A new project from MilLs Dj on Kickstarter aims to transform the classic Nintendo 64s from an at-home gaming console to a portable gaming system.
As of now, the crowdfunding project is running on a small scale with the hopes that other gaming enthusiasts will chip in to receive one of five 3D-printed versions of this remixed classic gaming system.
MilLs Dj remarks: "I've been remodeling, remastering, and modifying video game systems and accessories since I was 12 years old. I've studied the Nintendo 64 Board for many years, learning new ways to better portables and shrink them in size." This modified Nintendo 64s system includes everything from a headphone jack to brightness and volume controls, as well as a Gamecube joystick and a silent fan to keep the unit running quietly.
