I am considering this as my first dive into console modding, is this build a good place to start or is it maybe a little too advanced as a start point?

I am personally going to use it as my first project, i do believe getting the kit is definitely a lot better (i committed to this before the kit came out) but if you're passionate about doing this one, I think you should be fine, just know it's not like the kit where you literally have a step by step guide

i don’t give a hee ho
the g-boy kit also uses many custom pcbs, so the internals would be a bit cleaner and more manageable. i'd suggest trying out the g boy first. @GingerOfOz said in his original post on this thread that it is a somewhat challenging build, and clean internals are a must. if you don't want to build a g boy, the g wii is also a great place to start since there's much more space inside

That is illegal get a program called cleanrip on your wii home console like a honest godfairy person

Hello Ginger, is there any chance that you could upload the updated STLs that incorporates the PMS-PD like the one you made on twitch in October? I adore the form of this portable, and that's the one thing I feel is missing from it. Thank you!

I've completely rehauled the old Louii cad files to fit the new 4-layer tech boards along with some quality of life improvements. I'll release the updated cad files along with the custom PCB designs within the week, I just want to be sure that the files are all good.

Thanks! Is the D-pad still a 3rd party one?

Are these "quality of life improvements" also going to make this a bit easier to build as a total noob?
Also, will there be an updated BOM with this?
