Hardware Talk :: n64puter

question...i am trying to make an n64 into a dsl machine and need additional dimensions...i think that the 170x170mm mobos will fit the chassis, but how tall are they??? i have about 50mm clearance from the top of the case to the bottom (external clearance...) i want to make the puter boot off of a memory card. will this be possible? need help here......thanks

also, any other suggestions would be appreciated...

thanks again

ok...heres what i was thinkin for hardware:

epia 5000 mini-itx
-add a compact flash ide adapter
pw 60A 120w fanless power supply
-ac power adapter 12v, 9a switching
Kingston 512MB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Media Model CF/512 - Retail (from newegg)

then i would install dsl on the cf card...

any thoughts would be appreciated

There are people out there using those epia mini-itx boards with DSL...

Im sure you could get it running..it just may take some googling in case particular bits of hardware dont get autodetected..but I bet if you slap alot of RAM in them suckers they will scream!

o yea...ram...i was thinkin 512mb... more than enough to run dsl...

also...is there a n64 emulator out there for linux that actually has roms...all the ones that i can find only have demos...

or.......is there a piece of hardware that i can buy to hook up to my computer (win, or dsl...i have one each...)and copy n64 cartridges to the hd.........???
