... seen yet in a portable N64 mod. It's got all the buttons on a traditional N64 controller, which is no small feat, and manages to evoke the same toy-like plasticky design aesthetic as the original console. The only caveat? No batteries. The case is too small to hold an internal battery, although SifuF notes that you can clip an InfoLithium battery onto the back in addition to the standard 7.2v supply it was designed for. Take a gander at the gallery below, this is one incredible job. [Ben Heck Forums] ...

handheld n64 is awesome, non-ergonomic

... jack to perfect this handheld design. Cartridges slip elegantly into the back of this compact console. It’s so small, however, that there’s no room for internal batteries; when you want to play, you’ve got rely on external power. The sacrifices we make for size.
I guess it’s pretty on the inside, if you’re into that sort of thing. Here’s the Nintendo Sixtyfree Lite-R without its clothes on:

SifuF's portable N64: the Nintendo Sixtyfree Lite-R
Boing Boing Gadgets —
Unlike most portable console mods, Ben Heck forumer SifuF's Nintendo Sixtyfree Lite-R doesn't look like a dictionary-like slab of plastic and particle board when viewed in profile.

The picture below will give you a better insight.

Other than that, it is small enough to enjoy the N64’s one good game (Golden Eye) almost anywhere you like (that has a power source). Though it was long ago, I still regret the day that I decided that an N64 was a smarter choice than a Playstation. If it had looked like this, however, I might have felt a little better about it.
