Hi guys, I thought I'd start a new worklog to share progress updates on the Retro Lite CM5! (however slow they may be!). I've decided that I want to re-design the Retro Lite PCB from the ground up to support the up and coming RK3588s compute module. With the new release of the Radxa CM5 coming...

Hi all, I've finally finished my docking station for the Retro Lite CM4! I've opened sourced all of the STL files + code, and the PCBs + BOMs are to come later once I make a few fixes to the hardware design. https://github.com/StonedEdge/Retro-Lite-CM4-Dock Introducing the RetroLite Station...

Closed up another WiiSPii I had lying around for 3 years yesterday. After some issues with the analog triggers I’ve managed to flash them properly thanks to Aurelio straight from the GC configurator. Case cost me my left nut from PCBway but it is dyed acrylic. I opted for shielded wire this...

Hi all, I have some completed Retro Lite CM4s in funtastic colors for sale. These are all completed units (everything has been tested) and all you need to do is drop in your CM4 to get them working. I'm selling each of them for $550 + shipping ($600 for the metal edition). All come with a PD...

I finally finished my Retro Lite CM4 shadowbox! I always liked the concept of displaying exploded game consoles on the walls as art. I think a vertical explosion would have looked way cooler but obviously that’s impossible to do thanks to gravity. I had too many of these lying around and people...

After playing through the GoW series, I've been inspired to try my hand at a PS2 portable. Very early days in development, but I plan on hopefully entering the contest this year (or at least using this as an excuse to get back into console portablizing after building Pi's...). Still have a lot...

I’m doing a bit of a clean out and came across Wesk’s original Aran case. As I have no time to assemble it, I’m putting it up for sale. Comes with GC+ 1.0, 2 joycon sticks (and breakouts), resin green ABXY/DPAD + shoulder buttons and Z button. I’ll throw in a 5 way tact switch, speakers and a...

A big thanks to Gman for letting me have a go at assembling an N64SP v2 portable. It's an amazing build and despite it being a thick chungus, it is surprisingly comfortable to play for long N64 gaming sessions. The new N64 Advanced Trimming Guide was easy to follow and the PIF breakout made...

The Wii SPii By StonedEdge The Wii SPii is now open source! I've had the chance to test everything thoroughly (the newer Rev 1.4 PCBs) and feel confident enough to allow others to at least have a go at building their own WiiSPii using the Joycon board (3DS slider PCB will be released here at a...

It’s finally that time of year again! Despite 2020 being a bit of a wild rollercoaster, it has overall been a great year for portablizing, with the community certainly growing in more ways than one. For that, all of the BitBuilt team and staff members thank everyone for making some awesome...

Hi everyone, I am selling my Metallic Silver G-Wii rev2 since it just sits on my desk and I rarely play it. I had a lot of fun building it of course, but it's time to put it into another person's hands that will play it a lot more than I will. I am selling it for $1000USD plus shipping costs...

So I was browsing through some old photos as we all inevitably do reminisce sometime in our lives, and I came across my first G-Wii internals. Safe to say they were a pretty ugly nuke (beast) compared to my newer G-Wii (beauty, at least in my own eyes hehe) and I thought it would be cool to have...

It is not often here on the BitBuilt forums that we like to hear the word “emulation” being used to describe fully portable gaming consoles. However, we thought we could make an exception for the opportunity to display the incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail by Dmcke5 in his latest...

Although the Midwest Gaming Classic for this year was unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19, it didn’t stop veteran portablizer Gman from unveiling to the world his brand new perspective on N64 portables. N64 portables have been made since the dawn of time, but in comparison to Wii...
