Hi all,
So I'm extremely new to this modding scene (about a week) but looking at giving it a go. The plan is a trimmed Wii in a GBA SP form factor. I've seen one done already which is awesome but quite chunky in the hand. Whilst this probably lends itself to more comfortable gaming for an adult I want to try and get as close to possible to the true GBA SP dimensions.
This may well be physically impossible but I want to give it a go. So what do I have already in place you ask (I hope!)
Well, I've got a very first revision OM6 board thats been fully soft modded and working great with BBLoader v1. 1 for Wii and GC with Wii64 v1. 2 for N64 and SNES98GX(?) for SNES. It's using a physical GC controller atm. Added to that is Wii Nunchuck and Wiimote which I may harvest buttons from and also a DS Lite which may be a button and screen donor - possible even case too. If not then I have access to a 3D printer at work and a guy who knows how the hell to use it!
I've been mooching around the forums and guides trying to formulate a plan and being a newbie will inevitably have lots of questions along the way. I'm thinking I'll need GC2.0 board, USB charge, PMS and audio from the store.
My first real question comes regarding the batteries. I see 18650 are recommended or at least heavily used on the whole. But to try and resolve my size restraints I was thinking 2x Switch batteries in parallel. That would give me the 3.7v source with up to 9,200mAh for awesome life.
Am I missing something here that would pose as an immediate blocker? Possibly heat/charging issues?
