noob

I'm starting my first ps2 portable but i need help wiring this LCD screen taken from a portable dvd player the good thing about this dvd player is that it kinda looks like wii u gamepad and i was thinking about using it for my built too, as you can see in the pictures this comes with 2 Ni-MH...

(Please excuse my profanity)Ok so stupid as question buuuuttt... HOW THE FUCK DO I START?! IVE SEARCHED FOR EONS AND I CANT FIND A DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO HOW TO START MAKING A PORTABLE WII!!!. I know about about portabalize mii and all the usb and micro sd stuff (except for hooking up the display...

Hey! So I checked out the wii trimming guide and have a general idea of how to make a wii portable (looked at a work log) but some forums about the specifics of certain parts of the process (mainly wiring and where everything connects to) would be useful as I have very little electronic...

I've been reading a lot of stuff on the site and lurking around a lot of the other worklogs of complete noobs like me while collecting parts and tweaking my design. But I've actually done some work on some things and I like feedback so, In the words of our favourite plumber, here we go... BOM...

So this is my first Wii trim and case design. I figured i'd start out with a rather simple mod before moving on to a portable. THE GOAL: To create a case that is simple to print and assemble. To reuse a decent amount of Wii components and screws. Small enough to be cute but retain...

So I started work on my N64P (yet to be named). Its been slow going, but I'm making a bit of progress each day. I've ordered/found (most of) my parts and so far I've only broken down the board. In the pic, I've marked (a tiny bit of) where I'm going to cut. But I want to get the cart relocation...

Hi! New here. Sorry for being so cliche with the title. So i want to start making a portable because it seems cool. I have experience soldering and with other electronics, but not much on this scale (i also need to buy a soldering iron of my own, so waiting on that.) Luckily, I have a 4 layer...

Hey everyone, i'm pretty new here but have been lurking on the forums for a hot minute. I've taken a good bit of time to look at several other threads and other portable wii's created on here. I also have looked at several of the guides so i started to figure up a plan for my own. Things I...

So I hooked up the famous Red Board™ to my batteries, double checked the connections, and plugged it in. Problem is, one charger didn't charge them at all and the second one caused the red light to flicker quickly and the voltage to drop relatively quickly. The AC adapters have the same ratings...

ey bois so, I'm making a battery pack with 18650s and I'm pretty sure I hooked 'em up right, as my mini chinese LED display rates the batteries at 8.06V (confirmed working from my old pack). But for whatever reason, my batteries won't charge. After reconnecting the the b- to b-, and the b+ to...

So in the attempt to portabilitize a Wii I had purchased at an auction, I ended up in a situation where my Wii refuses to show an indicator light when power is applied to it. I tried replacing the big grey power brick, but that didn’t do it, and I think it is a problem with the motherboard...

hi seems tho Calling all noobs (noob question thread) is closed . i wanted to ask with the Wii Portable could it fit in a 3ds xl case ? wanted to make one but the more i look at it the more i think not . the only 2 things i think stop it is 1) heatsink +fan and 2) battery size maybe . am sure...

so... i posted a thread earlier today about n64 portable, and ive done a bit more research, and realized that since i am a noob, i should start at something easier. I came here to ask if one of you fantastic people could provide me a few project ideas that could hone my general skills to build...

Hey all, long time lurker here. I've been on this site long enough to see a bunch of work logs, read almost every guide, and even post a few memes.:D After all of this, I now think I'm ready to start making my Wii portable and have a work log of the wild ride that is going to be my build...

After lurking around in a lot of pi projects forums, I found out about the GBZ, I didnt like it that much at first, But then I fell in love with it. The reason? I dunno, i just did. I decided to make my own build, but not an exact copy. So this will be my first experience with anything related...

Yo! I have been absent from the forums for almost 4 months, and I am getting back in business baby!.. kinda. I have said this already, but I have zero experience. (See what I did there? Zero? Pi Zero? Ha! Ill go jump off a bridge now) So, I decided to start simple, no Wii portable (Ill get into...

Here is a guide written by @Luke with some help from me with verifying and editing. It's not the classical Bitbuilt style but we believe that it's slightly more noob friendly. We hope that this is used in conjunction with any other official information that is documented here on BitBuilt...

Have any questions about batteries? Post them here!

@Luke and I are getting really close to finishing up a guide for the N64 and I figured this would be a good way of making sure we covered all of our bases. This thread you can ask any question you want and we can either answer it or we will make sure it gets covered in our guide, if it isn't...
