Game modder Gunnar Turnquist has been recognized by Guinness World Records for the creation of the world’s smallest modified Nintendo 64 console.
Gunnar’s fascination for modding since age 13 can be seen in his YouTube channel “GmanModz” where he shares his expertise in building portable consoles and other engineering projects about gaming. Since his teenager years, he continued learning and practicing his passion for creating and modifying gaming devices.
“I started learning electronics when I was 13 years old and when I saw online that people were building their own portable consoles I thought it was the coolest thing ever and I had to try it. There have been many friends and teachers in my life that have helped me along the way. High school teachers that became interested in and guiding me through my projects.”
The achievement is being recognized for the smallest size possible for a portable N64. It’s also easy to handle it as it doesn’t feature the middle leg of the original N64 controller.
When it comes to size, the original N64 stands at 2.87” (72.9 mm) height, 10.23” (259.8 mm) width, and 7.48” (190 mm) depth.
Gunnar’s talent in transforming an original Nintendo 64 into a portable one paid off. With his efforts, he was able to shrink an N64 into a portable device of 8.4 cm X 11.8 cm X 4.50 cm (3.3 in X 4.64 in X 1.77 in).
“Anyone can learn how to make their own portable console and other DIY electronics projects. It can be a steep learning curve, but you start with something basic and improve each project from there.”
