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......thanksalso, any other suggestions would be appreciated... thanks again Posted by ardyandkari on Mar. 05 2006,22:58
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 Posted by AwPhuch on Mar. 06 2006,07:30
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.........??? |
