Considering my only memories of playing the N64 were of playing in large groups and eating a lot of shitty food, this custom console build seems very practical.
It sees an N64 stuck inside a table, with the controller leads built in under the surface of the wood so that there’s no tangling. This also means that the space between the controllers and the console can be taken up by pizza boxes and drinks, not a mess of cables.
The in-laid Mario in the middle just rounds it all off. It was designed and built by Mark Haggett, and you can see a full run-down of it over at MAKE.

Hmm. Having the controller plugs on the edge of the table like that seems like it’d make them prone to damage if you’re going to be putting your feet up like that. Or even just from people trying to move past and knocking them. Might’ve been a better idea to put them on the underside, although that could also still be vulnerable.
Theres no winning here. Unless you make them wireless or build some cable trays under the floor.
What is the latency per meter of cable? Money is the only thing holding up all these possibilities.
