BitFunx translucent shell for N64: a new housing that shows off the electronics
A second-hand N64 often arrives scratched, yellowed or with broken mounting tabs. This BitFunx replacement shell gives it a new translucent housing, in ten colours: you transfer your console's motherboard into it, with a screwdriver, without soldering.
What it does
- New housing: replaces a scratched, yellowed shell or one with broken mounts.
- Ten translucent colours: glacier blue, red, cherry red, blue, cyan, green, two purples, black and orange.
- No-solder transfer: motherboard, shielding, power supply and heatsink move from one shell to the other with a screwdriver.
What it doesn't do
- This is not a console. No electronics are included: everything comes from your N64.
- It does not fix any electronic fault or a faulty controller port.
- On a translucent shell, the shielding and the inside of the console remain visible.
- The N64's region lock relies partly on the shape of the cartridge slot: on a European N64, check that your cartridges fit before final reassembly.
Compatibility
N64 home console (NUS-001). Not compatible with the 64DD, N64 controllers or consoles from other ranges.
Skill level required
Intermediate level, no soldering. The N64 opens with a 4.5 mm security screwdriver ("gamebit" bit), then a Phillips screwdriver for the shielding and motherboard. You transfer the internal parts into the new shell and reassemble. Keep the screws and small parts from the original shell: they may be needed for reassembly.
In the box
- 1 translucent replacement shell for N64, in the chosen colour.

The job: re-housing an N64
A scratched or yellowed N64 often works perfectly well: it is the housing that has seen better days. You open it with the 4.5 mm security screwdriver, transfer the motherboard, shielding and power supply into the new shell, and close it up. The console works as before, in a housing that shows off its electronics.
The part: a BitFunx shell in ten shades
BitFunx is a maker known to retro fans for its video converters and replacement shells. This shell reproduces the housing of the N64 home console in translucent plastic, in ten shades from glacier blue to orange, for a console that stands out under the TV.
Before opening: the tool and the cartridges
Have a 4.5 mm security screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver ready. On a European N64, test that your cartridges fit in the new shell before screwing everything back. Keep the small parts from the original shell. A question before ordering? Our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔧 Do I need to solder to change the shell?
No. The motherboard, shielding, power supply and heatsink are transferred with a screwdriver.
🎮 Is my European N64 compatible?
The shell is designed for the N64 home console (NUS-001). The N64's region lock relies partly on the shape of the cartridge slot: on a European console, check that your cartridges fit before final reassembly.
🧰 What tools do I need?
A 4.5 mm security screwdriver ("gamebit" bit) to open the console and a Phillips screwdriver for the shielding and motherboard.
📦 What is in the box?
The translucent replacement shell for N64 in the chosen colour. No electronics. Keep the screws and small parts from your original shell.
🎨 What is the difference between the two purples?
Two translucent purple shades are offered. Rely on the image linked to each colour to choose.
⏱️ How long does installation take?
A relaxed session is enough for an equipped hobbyist: opening, transferring the internal parts, reassembly. Photograph each step to reassemble without mistakes.
🚚 What are the delivery times?
Delivery in 10 to 18 days, dispatched within 3 to 5 days.
🛡️ What guarantee applies?
2-year legal guarantee of conformity. 14-day returns. Our customer service replies within 1 business day.
Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
