portable setup for recording/streaming
Hi my name is Chris and I have a dream to create a portable N64 console that I can use to share the authentic experience of playing competitive games on original hardware. My vision is to set up a multiplayer gaming at local parks and offer small prizes to strangers for beating me in a 1v1 game of Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, or BattleTanx Global Assault. I’ll go easy on them, because the whole point is to have fun and share the wonderful experience I had as a kid with generations who don’t have access to these retro games.
To make this dream a reality, I need your help! I need money to purchase original hardware and equipment to make an off-grid, mobile gaming and streaming setup possible. I need an original nintendo64 console, games and peripherals, a display, a video capture card, a streaming laptop, an extra camping chair, a table that is small enough to carry in my bicycle, and a battery to power the experience for about a 3 hour session.
All the money I earn from streaming is going to this goal. I want to convert strangers into gaming buddies, and document my progress along the way. Thank you for your support!
The idea is to use a S-video capture card to connect to the streaming PC, while the split (composite) AV output goes to a low latency gaming display.

Case automation ideas (feature creep)
- use something like a RP2040 with USB host mode to emulate a keyboard https://www.adafruit.com/product/5723
- When the travel case opens
- wake up the computer
- start streaming/recording
- When the travel case opens
- use a robot controller board to automate lights/sirens/fun stuff to react to in game events
