Welcome to 2025 everyone! There's been loads of progress getting Wii U Trimming more accessible, and I plan to share it all here for the peeps that aren't in the discord.

Arguably the most important thing is PortablizeU (link), which is an AIO package by Yveltal to make the software setup on the Wii U before trimming super trivial. Along with that, we (Yveltal and I) have released a guide on how to use it and set up everything properly. The guide can be found here. The software setup was a PITA before this (even for me!), and the only issues I had during testing were due to user error (Simply forgot to copy stuff to the USB drive..)

Next thing is I have created and released a guide on trimming all motherboards with the A5X (WUP-01/WUP-30/WUP-40 SoC). Obviously these shouldn't be used for portables due to the increased power draw compared to the B1X (WUP-50 SoC), but using these motherboards for "Micro" consoles is perfect!

I also created a complete Wii U Revision Identification guide some months ago, but never posted about it here. A link for those interested:
Hoping to see more Wii U trims come out of these developments, whether it be LOLWUN or LOLWUT. :)

Man this is great advancement! with those other board trimming guides maybe ill get the confidence to sacrifice my old wiiu to the trusty dremel! Thanks again for your guys' hard work and determination, if there is any way I can help let me know. I don't have much experience portabalizing, but i have experience basically everywhere else in electronics.
