Hello everyone. This is my first real post, so uh, that's neat. Hello everybody!
I'm planning on making a wii portable. I have very little experience with modding
of any kind, this will be my first project. I've read some beginner guide stuff, and
I think I might possibly be a little ready to start messing with the real thing (maybe).
The color scheme I had in mind was primarily silver, but with some orange coloring throughout.
The design is themed after a character from chibi-robo called Telly. It was one of my first games,
and i still find myself playing it from time to time. I originally planned on theming the portable after chibi-robo
himself, but I think telly's design would look better on it.
I nickname the project: Tellwii (working title)
This is my only experience:
I read the definitive wii trimming guide, shank's wii super thread, and shank's electronics 101 guide.
i watched a couple other youtube videos. I read a bunch of various threads from this forum briefly.
Plans:
-7" x 4" would be the size of the portable's body (roughly).
-It would house a 5" screen. This one caught my eye. Stitches was showing it off on the discord.
-I plan to use a GC+ and take buttons directly from a gamecube controller.
-The PowerMii looks pretty sweet. I'd like to implement that, along with WiiHud
-I was thinking of graphing gamecube controller handles, or molding something similar them, and adding
it on to the body. The console would resemble sort of a large controller.
-OMGWTF trimmed board
-remove all bluetooth and wifi functionality
-i would install portablizemii. I chose this flashdrive, recommended on shank's wii super thread
-i don't know much about the rumble feature, but getting that to work would be pretty sweet.
-headphone and speaker functionality
I don't feel very confident in my ability to accomplish this,but without messing with the real thing, i'm not sure what I can do to expand my knowledge further. If any of you have any recommendations, or tips, I'd be thrilled to hear them. I'm going to wait at least a couple days before I pull the trigger and spend all my money on components and tools.
TLDR: I have very little experience, but I'm going to start working on a wii portable, lel
