For a week now, I've been seriously searching how to make a portable Wii.
After a lot of trouble finding how I'll power my trimmed Wii motherboard with the current chip shortage, I could have tried building a RVL-PMS1 but I'll instead wait for new stocks.
I've bought a black wii with 2 controllers, cables and nunchucks for 20€.
For the moment, I've got my Aliexpress parts list nearly done ! I've just waiting for some feedback before ordering all the things !
Here is the long list of links and descriptions :
I still need to find out what i'll really be using as the controller inputs, I'm quite sure about the 2 joysticks and the shoulder buttons. For the shoulder buttons, i'd like to do 2 pressure sensitivity using 2 push buttons that are spaced out
I'll add 4layer PCBs : RVL-PMS-Lite, RVL-PD 2, RVL-GC2+ and RVL-AMP. I'll maybe need to create custom PCBs for a better cable management but if I even manage to get the wii booting that would be great at first
Tomorrow I'll receive my cutting tool for trimming my Wii ; I can't wait to do it !
I've already done the U10 relocation but I didn't try it because I need magnet wire to solder one of its foot to another part of the PCB.
