There is no point in this existing, but it was fun to work on alongside @Mrak408! Really put my Wii knowledge to the test - which isn't very much compared to others, but it's just enough to get a working trim!

Here's the real OME6A we've been yearning for, but never had until now:

And proof that it does work:

The crazy part is that its not much bigger than a 4L OMEGA:

I could have cut in a little bit more above the RAM, if it wasn't for my U10 relocation (I could have moved it but I just didn't bother to).

AVE daugherboard was taken from another 6-layer Wii. I somehow killed it prior, so there was no real loss here.
NAND daugherboard was taken from a Wii U. I had a few NAND/eMMC daugherboards laying around and just cut off the eMMC part. I did swap the TSOP, no NAND flashing here.

I do not see any portables using a OME6A considering the higher power draw compared to 4 layer boards, but maybe its useful for a micro console?

If anyone ever decides they want to do a OME6A, feel free to post them here! Do note that it's the same story as all OMEGA trims - rite of passage. Peeps can also see my progress in the discord.

Oh I forgot to mention, massive props to Shank for sharing his 6 layer board scans. :)

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.
