hi all,
I'm specifically wanting to create a small form-factor wii like the wii micros done here before. The purpose is to run only Super Smash Bros. Melee (Slippi) for tournaments. Eventually i might create a comprehensive guide and or videos to help others to do the same. Wiis are a pain to work with as a tournament organizer and having each setup be small and autoboot to tournament melee as well as offload the slippi match replays would be really nice to have (I run and help run ssbm tournaments in norcal).
Friday i have a lot of a few wiis coming from ebay and i plan to soon cut my first mobo (i have a few tools coming in as well that might be a bit longer to arrive).
ideally the build would use:
- the regular wii video out (tournaments use crts)
- internet through usb, no wifi necessary
- no bluetooth necessary
questions:
- it may not need a censor bar since i plan to autoboot directly to Slippi, thoughts? i may be able to do setup before i cut, but i'm not sure.
- will i have any issues running project Slippi since it will be using portablize mii? slippi.gg -info on Slippi
- i do not have a 3d printer, is there anyone in my region who might be able to help me print case parts? I can pay materials and shipping.
- Is there anyone with experience doing a similar build who would be willing to spend some time with me on video chat throughout the build? I am not highly skilled with soldering and i don't have much experience with fine electronics work. A lot of this is very new to me.
timeline - i expect all parts and tools should be here within 2 weeks so i'll post progress as soon as i can and thanks in advance to anyone who can give me some guidance along the way!
