Forgot to mention in the video – the height of the batteries is about the same as the game cart section (slightly smaller actually), so no issues about using them in the case. The Canon BP-911 / BP-915 cells I use are excellent batteries to use in portables I find

Honestly some the stuff people come up with is absolutely amazing. Id love to try but I really do think id fail.

Btw, I did notice when he was showing the games in the last vid that on Mario 64 when he did a ground pound (time: 4:09), it seemed a little slow. This makes me think that there may be a little lag but Ive no clue unless I tested myself. :mrgreen:
