My idea is simple: a trimmed Wii, a gamecube controller, and a screen. That's all. This will be my first portable. Any feedback? Also, what batteries should I use?
I am a beginner in portablizing and I need help. I am making a portable wii that looks like a book (to sneak into school) I need tips because I suck at this. I tried soldering once and I melted a motor. I guess I was using a heat stick instead of the controlled ones and I was 9. I need to find a...
My first Wii Portable of my design. Like the ashida, it is designed around 4layer tech boards. I'm calling it the Wiiclipse because I want it to be all black, like an eclipse (and puns are fun). My goal for this design was to make something minimal yet classy. I even made my own logo:
I've...
I am about to start my first wii project but just to be safe I wanna ask if there is a set amount of time I should wait after unplugging my Wii before it's safe to start slicing up the motherboard or can I just unplug it and get to cutting.
I have been wondering about this for a while and finally decided to post something about it, from looking stuff up on Google and YouTube I couldn't find anything, if anyone has any information about this could you post it here. Thank You!
After completing my first portable project (being my phat PS2) I immediately started working on a follow up with the goal of making it a lot sleeker and A LOT thinner. I decided to do a Wii this time and also decided that I wanted to try my hand at designing my own PCB's for this design. So I...
I was wondering if this trim would be possible. I want to keep the Bluetooth connector so I don't have to try and solder to the very tiny contacts. Would I also be able to keep the sync button if I give it power and don't cut that area out?
Hello, I am just about to order my parts for my own Ashida but there are a few things I need some clarification on. Also, I'm sorry if these are dumb questions I am still relatively new to console modding.
-When using the u10 emulation from the RVL-PMS do I only have to remove the u5 chip and...
Nothing too complex, just a Wii in Toaster.
As a teen I always had this goal of posting a completed Gamecube portable on ModRetro. Times have changed, thus I post a WiiinToaster on BitBuilt instead :P
I was a huge fan of SS's Youtube channel (now they're all private videos :'( ), so I had to...
Hello, this is my first thread; so if I seem a bit out of place...I'm still learning haha!
This is a little project I call Wii Motion++
It's a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie and a 1.3 inch LCD shoved into a Wii Remote. Fully functional buttons (D-pad, 1, 2, A, B, and yes, even the power button...
I have my GC+ 2.0 wired up, but when the Wii is on, I have no input from the controller whatsoever. I've tested everything the best I can with a multimeter. I have continuity on everything, and testing when the Wii is on showed everything receiving the right voltage, so I'm not sure what I'm...
I want to start out by giving a huge should out to @Wesk and the 4LayerTech team for making all of this possible and accessible. When I first saw Wesk's Ashida, I knew instantly that I wanted to build one. It is truly a no-compromises portable.
I decided to try FDM printing the case, to try out...
I can understand why the wires would need to be the same length. But I don't get why the wires would need to be short in length, or what "short" even means since the word is relative by definition. Especially since both the Bluetooth and Wifi modules are normally located at the other side of the...
Hi,
I'm new here and pretty damn interested in making a portable. I've always wanted to make one, since I saw a video of a GCN portable years back, and would like to know some tips! I do own a solder, I'm pretty sure its good enough because I think I saw it in a GMan video. I have enough money...
Hi all, so I'm new to the portablising community and decided to build a G-Wii Rev, had my case printed by Gman. I'm gonna try and do a worklog but it'll be awful and missing stuff probable ahah, hope its okay though
DAY 1
This is my case as it came from Gman, so I decided so start with...
As the title makes obvious, i need a 6 to 6.2 inch (preferably good quality) screen for my upcoming first wii portable. so, that's the size i'm going for, but i need that kind of connection, and hopefully, not too expensive, ($50 or less hopefully).
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
It's been a long time coming, but it's FINALLY my turn to make an Ashida! I'm hoping to have it done in time for MGC so I can show it off to the bois. My shell was printed in sla by The_Random_Guy and I truly couldn't be more grateful for him kindly selling it to me for an utter steal. While...
I have a question about the wiring/powering of a Wii motherboard. I created a Wii portable a while ago and now the video output is messed up. The Wii now only shows a black screen when booted up. This has happened with the last two or three times trying to create my portable after a couple of...
I want to send Some character data from homebrew app to a microcontroller to display on LCD module. Assuming no wifi. it is posible to use an output port from the wii like one of the gc controllers to read in on the microcontroller?
The usb route is not posible as the microcontroller cannot act...
