Portable N64's

I've recently become interested with these things. It's very interesting how modders can make old home consoles into portable ones. The Nintendo 64 ones are the ones I think are the coolest, because that's my favorite system.

But seriously - I love the design and uniqueness of most of them.

My question is do you know of anyone who has one of these? And are you/would you ever be interested in spending the time and money to make or buy one?

I think they look awful and probably perform poorly too so I wouldn't buy one. I'm sure you can get a handheld device that plays all sorts of emulated games at much more value for money.
I would rather mod an N64 to make it look fancy than turn it into a portable version.

I'm waiting for when Vita supports emulators by some means. then I'll have a portable N64, PS3, PS2, PSX, Gamecube, every other Nintendo console, and Xbox( I think there is an emulator).

Slightly off, but Ashen is a dude that makes some awesome portable Gamecubes.

With the sudden rise in N64 flashcarts (I got a 64Drive not too long ago), portable N64s are just getting started . Also, the guy who made the 64Drive made some pretty cool portables, not too mention he's working on a VGA adapter for the N64.

Some huge nostalgia for me looking at these, I haven't seen some of them for years.

Haha, I doubt Sony will allow emulators on their systems this time around.

Even so, GameCube (Wii) and XBOX would be pretty much impossible, given the hardware. PSX (maybe PS2, idk) would be more of a PSN store thing. N64 and older Nintendo systems will probably run, though.

This guy http://www.youtube.com/user/ShockSlayer has made a lot of portable N64s. Why not ask him if you need one?

Be prepared to pay 1000$ though.

And no, that isn't a typo.
