It is detailed in the PS2 trimming guide. The pins do not change between different revisions of the PS2 seeing as how they use the same audio and video connector. Every single audio and video pin is mapped out. I am not really sure what you want us to do that has not already been done.

GingerOfOz made a really good guide on this. The only difference is that he use micro usb instead of usb-c. Here is a link to his guide. https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/building-internal-usb-drives-into-portables.2206/

That would work, but you would still need a smart charger. Have you looked at the board I gave you a link to? That handles charging and protection in one. You would not need a smart charger with the red board. You could use any voltage supply that is within the voltage range.

You are using these batteries to power a PS2 correct? A PS2 will do fine with 7.4 volts. You only have to do a 2S setup instead of a 3S setup. If you were to do a 2S setup, you could just use this board. It can handle any power supply within the voltage range. It does not need a "smart" charger...

A smart charger is a charger that can sense when the batteries are starting to get full and slowly lowers the current until the battery is full. At that point, the current stops completely so the battery does not blow up. You cannot use a 12 volt charger to charge your 11.1 volt battery setup...

The only screens that will work with the VGA mod are the screens that accept VGA. This screen only accepts composite video, so the screen will not accept VGA. Here is a screen from the BOM that accepts VGA...

Here is a link to the guide hub. Many guides have been written to go over many of the basics of this hobby. I would start by reading all of them. Even if you feel like some of them do not apply to you, there is still really good information in those guides. Reading is key to what we do here...

Hello BitBuilt. I am back with another update. This week, I wanted to get at least my wii trim working. I decided to practice trimming a 6 layer board first seeing as how I have never done a trim before and I only have 1 4-layer wii and have 5 6-layer wiis. The trim ended up going really...

One of the staff notified me that there was not a picture or a card in the pictures I posted earlier labeling the 2019 BitBuilt Summer Contest. I just edited that in so that I would not be breaking any rules. I have made a bit of progress since my last update though. I have successfully...

You said you would like to start easy with a wii laptop. It would actually be easier to make everything in one piece without any moving parts like a laptop hinge. That is why most of the portables on the forums are not in a laptop/clamshell style. It is possible to do it, but it is just easier...

I was not planning on using GC+ 2.0 and PS2+. I kind of just wanted to get it done this summer and without knowing if they would come out in time, I did not take the risk of implementing them in my design. If this comes out a success, I will definitely make a second better and smaller edition...

Hello BitBuilt! It has been a while since I posted a new worklog. For the past year and a half since I have officially given up on my first wii portable, I have been working on designing and planning for this new portable and hopefully this contest will give me the motivation needed to finish...

This is pretty awesome!! What is the size of this board? I can see this and powermii being the new standard for wii portables.

First off, there is no way that the wii uses 3.7 amps of current. That is just the maximum current that the wii power brick will supply. An electronic device will only draw as much current as it needs. Second, the wii should be find with 14 volts. I have personally used 14.8 volts for an...

Your english is perfectly clear. You do not have to worry about that. If you do not want to use PortablizeMii, but still want to trim the board, you will have to relocate every component on the board including the disc drive circuit board and the wifi chip. I know that the wifi chip is...

Just so you know, you probably will not be able to use your 7 inch tablet screen in your portable. Screens need a special circuit board which takes the video signal from the wii and turns it into signals that the screen can use. We commonly call it a driver board. You will probably need to buy...

Nold is just trying to stop you from creating a bad habit since that is tehnically against the rules here. He is just trying to help. But yeah. You can still post. Just try to use the edit button in a post if you have something new to add shortly after posting something. Also, what is that you...

First off, fitting a wii into a wii u gamepad is pretty difficult because space is tight. A 7 inch screen could fit if you enlarge the hole for the screen. The wii u gamepad uses a 6.2 inch screen, so that is how big the screen hole is. You could use a wii2hdmi to get your hdmi video. But do...

I would be worried about cooling with how your batteries are spaced. The way you have that laid out, there is absolutely no airflow. You need to make a proper path for the air to flow to keep your wii cool. The last thing you would want is to complete your wii portable and have your wii die from...

We are here to help, but we are not here to tell you step by step what to do. There are already amazing guides that people put a lot of time into on this site that can answer most of your questions. The best way of planning a portable is reading a bunch of other people's threads and finding out...
