    Haha, this reminds of awhile ago when I saw a Subaru with a functioning wii for a head unit on Craigslist. Wish I screenshot it

    Its kind of cool from a hacker perspective but really short sighted and not that functional. If your gonna mod your car like this at least connect a SBC like pi up to the display which can do general computing task AND emulate old games. A N64 just plays old games. A SBC can do anything including playing old games. A pi takes 5v and consumes 5 watts. I imagine an old N64 consumes quite a bit more power that drains the car battery.

    All for what, to play smash bros and sm64on an 14 inch display instead of eating for your lunch break ? This person wanted to see if they could do something, in this case splicing an n64 into a car which I respect. It just seems they never bothered to ask if the thing they’re doing makes sense from an efficiency, convinence, or functionality perspective.
