From the project
The world’s smallest fully open-source Nintendo 64 motherboard redesign. Bare essentials, full power!
Matterhorn 64 CORE is the world's smallest open-source Nintendo 64 motherboard redesign. It utilizes components taken from an original Nintendo 64 console. Because it does not rely on emulation, it works perfectly with all games released on the system.
This board redesign enables smaller, better, cleaner and more reliable Nintendo 64 based builds. Matterhorn 64 CORE can easily be integrated in different kinds of builds such as Nintendo 64 portable devices or mini consoles.
