Introducing the spoiled baby: The PiiS5
-Have you ever found yourself in trouble when creating your console and seeing that it doesn't look good next to the rest of your consoles or your setup?
-Don't have access to a 3D printer?
-Did you read this with a voice like the TV spots announcer?
I don't know if someone did this before, but this is a kind of idea that you can apply for improve your wii or your setup. Also works with NES mini / SNES mini / PS classic mini originals or clones
Goals for this console:
-Make a tabletop console (√)
-Forget using custom PCBS and advanced skills like programming or 3D print, just pure soldering skills and hardware modifying (√)
-Modify the case as less as possible (except by adding aditional ports), giving a fresh look to the console (√)
-Use the included button panel (√)
-Use the included controller ports as USB ports (√)- (Update)The console arrived with different connectors but will install USB ports on the same place
-Use 5V power through USB-C port (√)
-Have both AV (onboard) and HDMI (√) (through a Wii2HDMI adapter board) ports, being capable of select between both outputs
-Relocation of Bluetooth (√) and WiFi modules to make a full Wii compatible console
-Create a custom IR LED bar to make a full Wii compatible console (connected by USB-C or another tiny port)
- Add the capability of connect 3rd party Bluetooth contollers using an ESP32 and blueretro pre-made software (for games that use the gamecube controller)
The base for this project will be a GameStation5, which is a cheap and good looking console. Also has a good working space once you remove the original mainboard:You can take a look of the console internals in this video:

I'll be adding more goals for this project when I remember them xD
The making process will be uploaded and updated as soon as the components and the cosole arrives
