Hey everyone,
I’m thrilled to share with you my latest project for the BitBuilt Summer 2024 Building Contest: the Thomii MK3. Following the naming conventions of my last two portables, the Thomii MK3 is designed to be a feature-packed, modern take on the classic Wii portable, inspired by the design of the Switch Lite. Here’s a sneak peek at what I’m planning:
Key Features:



I’m excited about the potential of the Thomii MK3 and can’t wait to see how it performs in the contest. Stay tuned for updates as the build progresses, and feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions!
Cheers,

I’m thrilled to share with you my latest project for the BitBuilt Summer 2024 Building Contest: the Thomii MK3. Following the naming conventions of my last two portables, the Thomii MK3 is designed to be a feature-packed, modern take on the classic Wii portable, inspired by the design of the Switch Lite. Here’s a sneak peek at what I’m planning:
Key Features:
- Front-Facing Surface Mount Status LED: Inspired by the GameBoy Advance, this LED will be the first status LED I have added to my design.
- Custom Controller PCBs: These will be hand-manufactured, aiming for a smooth transition between the controllers and the GC+.
- Laminated 3.5" Screen: To give it a sleek, modern look, I’m integrating a laminated screen that should enhance both durability and visual quality.
- Aftermarket Switch Buttons: Including a D-pad for a familiar and comfortable gaming experience, especially since I like using my portables for GBA and SNES games.
- HW2 Wii Mini: Chosen for its low power consumption, making the portable more efficient.
- Compatibility with 4LayerTech Boards and Yvetals ThunderVolt: ThunderVolt should allow for excellent undervolting performance, improving battery life and system stability.
- Battery Life: Equipped with 4x 18500 batteries, the Thomii MK3 should offer around 3 hours of gameplay while keeping plenty of space for the extra bits.
- Additional Space for Bluetooth and MX Relocations: To ensure a complete and versatile gaming experience, I’m hoping to include space for these components as well (but as always, this is the first item on the chopping block).




I’m excited about the potential of the Thomii MK3 and can’t wait to see how it performs in the contest. Stay tuned for updates as the build progresses, and feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions!
Cheers,
Thomothy
