Replaced the plastic logo on my N64 with a tiny animated screen

Project name in my head is the UltraJewel64. It's a small LCD that fits where the plastic logo plate or jewel normally sits on top of the console, with an esp32 based controller running the animations. From the front and sides it looks like a stock N64 until it powers on. I've seen plenty of LCD case mods on the N64 over the years, but I haven't seen one that goes in the jewel area specifically, just a few that go behind a modified stock one.

The screen is mounted in a custom 3d printed mount.

Binary and STL are both free posts I can't link here

Happy to answer questions about the screen module, what's driving it, how it's powered, or anything else about the build.

Making truly custom n64s

Not just slapping a shell on. Twice weekly streams started with broken n64s from ebay, torn down to the board, recapped and that's where we are. Prior work shown here, two extremes, minimal and outrageous led action. Custom logo LCD screen and 3d printed mount.
