Amazing work, the build is so clean ! The more impressive was to see it IRL at MGC, at first glance, it looks like an SD card reader in the shape of a Wii :XD:

Nice build, I was happy to help with the soldering of some magnet wire for the controller :) I hope to see an upgraded version of the PCB with FFC connector. I really like the grip of this design, maybe I'll build one in the futur

Ohh, thanks ! Very nice the trick with conductive pads things. I'm definitely going to use it for prototyping, it'll be cheaper than doing ENIG every time, when you make mistakes and have to re-order PCBs it quickly becomes super expensive. I don't think it will last over time though. We...

Because it was very challenging to do one, cause of UGE power draw and a lot of heat, this project was very challenging and took me almost 2 entire years from motherboard analysis to the final console. It's been very long and complicated, currently the most complicated project of my life, but...

Safety first ! I wanted protection in case of overheating or thermistor reading problems. I had no choice but to use a microcontroller. At first I really didn't want to code, I don't like that and it always takes up a lot of my time. But it has a lot of advantages, by using a microcontroller I...

Just saw this thread. For a while I was using micro SD adapter based on GL823K, it work fine as I know. And I find it much easier than trying to figure out which USB flash drive works. Here is the product link : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32918607789.html I used this chip for my tiny wii...

I've just finished working on most of the final review video of this big project, so I'll be able to continue updating this thread ! Battery : For the battery I'm using 4S 5000mAh 21700 (Lishen LR21700SD). I connected them in series and spot welded them with 8mm nickel strips in 0.2mm...

Thanks for the video, for large heatsinks or where a lot of heat is needed to melt the solder like in the video, it could be a great solution. I'll certainly try this for other projects, thank you ;) Let's talk about controllers : At first I was thinking of using a microcontroller-based circuit...

I know the channel, I've watched quite a few of their videos, it's very instructive :D I've seen quite a few people use this for laptop mods, however I haven't found any videos talking about thermal epoxy on ATS channel, so if you have the link send it to me For reactivity issues I haven't had...

Good news: I've finally finished this long project that took me almost 2 years to complete. It's the vacations, I'm at my family's, i'll have some time to dive back into the progress of this project and update the thread to share with you the technical details of the project ;) We were at the...

Hey Nold, Its been a while since the last update ahah Too much work to add to this, maybe I will add the progress when I have free time after the ending. I got the reference :XD: Hope Youtube will add the AI automatic doubling soon :rothink:

Very nice and clean build ! I love all the feature added in it for the smole size, it's very impressive. great work guys :D

Yea the red wire is connected from that capa to send the 5V to the USB since the trim process cut the internal 5V copper track

I'm on a project of boosting a Switch to the max with upgraded cooling (so no temp issue B|). So I use a V2 (Mariko), since it consume and heat less and the GPU can theoretically go to higher clock than the V1 (Erista). I'm on latest FMW (16.0.0) and latest Atmosphere For OC I use...

A tip: use the holy enameled copper wire for small vias, it's much more easy, and with this you don't risk to break the solder or worse the vias or the track by moving the wire. 0.1 to 0.15mm work well for signal wire, bigger is too rigid. Of course before soldering it is necessary to tin the...
