Honestly just forgetfulness. Thanks! Really digging how it's coming together :) Yeah this is the issue that I'm running into. I've verified that L+ outputs 3.34v and there are no shorts. I've flipped the connections on the LED and it still would not turn on. I started charging up my batteries...

Update 5: The Big Cut™ and U5/10/9 relocation Hello Friends! Quick update here: Cut the Wii (wooo!) Sanded the PCB (200->400->600 grit) Removed the U5 Burned up the U10 chip Butchered a leg off the U9 chip So overall a lot of destruction! Following images of the marked MX chip section...

Thanks for the valuable info! I had another Digikey order started for some Gameboy controller mod parts I'll add these to. For the thermal tape, I was planning on using thermal paste instead. Would that work? Maybe it's too messy. I was considering that exact same USB drive! The loop was the...

Update 2: Parts and BOM This week has been a lot of waiting for orders to come in from the likes of eBay, Digikey, Amazon, and others. I have a box of parts quickly filling! The BOM for the project can be found here...

Hello all! I'm super excited to finally start working on a portable Wii! :D I got inspired 2 years ago after watching LTT's video on the G-Boy. Now that I finally have a disposable income and an unsuspecting Wii, I can start on this project! Unfortunately, after rediscovering the G-Boy Kits and...

Amazingly clean build! :D Just starting my first build but hopefully I can borrow the bezel idea thanks to the stl. I just looked over the file and Dustin's front plate and all the mounts look identical. The only differences I can see between the two are the bezel and the reduced height for the...
