Aaaaaand there goes the need to relocate the WiFi! Thanks to @GaryOderNichts, we now have a patch that removes the need for the WiFi module! It took a bit of effort to find the root problem, but it's just a two-liner ASM patch: In my testing, you can use the WiFi module with this patch, but...

The docs folder had been linked earlier in the thread, but ill link it here too: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T8iTm93AhAHYFhyDN9PrxH_x5npnDAZo?usp=sharing

Yes

Theres two board revisions that I know of: DRC-01 (the board I scanned) and DRC-20 (the board you scanned). DRC-01 is the launch retail board, and I believe DRC-20 came around during 2013/2014 with the WUP-30.

oooo, nice: DRC-20! Both GamePad board are fully scanned now!

Nice job!

Wire the consoles 5GHz module to the gamepads 5GHz module. Could be done with magwire or some MHF4 cables.

I got bored and sanded those pre-preg layers off. The scans are now complete (with the .xcf also updated)!

i had this idea when originally "planning" (my inspiration for the idea came from the Wii Mini though) but until my MLC SDIO curse is lifted, probably always going to use SATA for MLC. I also don't really have any ideas on how to implement it, or if its worth the effort.

My Mini console is better. Yeah, it's done. It's far from perfect, but perfection can never be reached, so I'm happy with how it turned out. :) It's been over a month since the last post, but most of that was doing the shell work. There's not too much to share from that, its just bondo ->...

Shank was kind enough to upload a .zip file of them to a folder on my GDrive. The shanks.xcf should have the 5 layers that have been scanned mostly aligned. It's not complete, but its good enough. I suppose I should also apologize for not linking them until now, just never crossed my mind.

lol that didn't last for very long. This RTC was not fine, and I destroyed a perfectly usable WUP-50 because I didn't realize this sooner. Really during these early days, I didn't know what I was doing or how I wanted it to turn out. Really glad I took that long hiatus from this to just go and...

So much has happened in the past two days, and not all of it good.. First thing I did after my last post was redo the 5GHz relocation. That went down smoothly, even though I couldn't test it until MUCH later. I did relocate the DRH flash using one of my flexes, but that's easy stuff. I don't...

4 (ish) months later and I'm back in the zone! For starters, I gave up entirely on the eMMC SDIO. Wouldn't be the first time its completely died on me, even doing everything "correctly". Because of that, I ordered an mSATA SSD from eBay. Yes yes, used flash storage bad, but it's not like the...

what exactly are you doing to get video out? if its the AV port, you nuked the filtering capacitors, so you will need to wire CVBS to it from the AVE, seeing as you also nuked some passives there. the onboard LDO handles 1v8 (3v3 -> 1v8), so its not a huge issue here. also, a single GND wire...

I added scans for both sub-boards. one of them is sanded (mostly), the other is not. I also uploaded my doodles on them (the .xcfs). No idea wtf the EXT port is for (iirc it's I2C, but theres a mystery 3rd pin). Anyway, have fun!

Hmm, you cut through the TP100 and TP177 vias on the RTC daughterboard. I'm not sure if TP177 is required, but if you have any issues booting, i'd start there. TP100 is absolutely required, it's the EXI MOSI. You can use the traces, it just makes the relocation a little bit more annoying.

Well hey, let's look at the bright side, VIPPO is now free! :)

Hey all! I spent the past few months sanding and scanning the DRC-01 Wii U Gamepad Mobo. It's a 6-layer board, so it really took me some time (considering it's the first multi-layer board I've done). Should be useful for RE, repairs, and maybe trimming the Gamepad? :P The scans are available on...

I uploaded the .xcf to the GDrive. It's largely unfinished, but since I haven't worked on it for awhile now figured I'd just upload it. No real point in keeping it on my hard drive. It has: - SDRAM traced out - All Voltages traced out - SATA connector traced out - Motor Driver IC mostly traced...
