Model [Guide / Release] Noldendo Wii Miicro - v1.1

Is there an updated guide for building a Noldendo using PSU-Plus ?

It's pretty much the same as wiring it with PTHs or the OG PSU, just wire the regulator outputs on the PSU to the corresponding voltage rails on the Wii (no need for hand wiring the regs like with the PTHs).
 
I'm currently midway through doing this project and I'm on quite a tight budget. I've successfully relocated the u10 and the board works still. I'm researching about the regs and wondering about resistors. I've read the guide multiple times but I'm struggling to find some that match. Also wondering do I need capacitors? If I get a PSU plus do I still need resistors and capacitors?

If you are going the PTH08080WAH route, you need to hand-wire the feedback resistors and input / output filter capacitors. If you go with a PSU-Plus, all of that is handled on the board and all you need to is wire the regulator outputs to the Wii.
 
I've found some regulators on eBay but I was wondering do I need to know the wattage? What sort of things do I need to look for apart from voltage and amps. And will I still need the resistors or if I set the regulators output to the correct output do I not need the resistors. (Sorry for all the questions I don't wanna mess this up)
 
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everyone, i got a little present for you: Safe sensor bar relocations!
The guide has been updated with "Relocations -> Sensor Bar". Happy gaming.
 
Hello everyone, I'm very confused about all this

This is my first time trimming a Wii, and I'm having trouble understanding the guides. The trimming guide Included is on a different , so I’m unsure which steps apply to this trim

I’m also confused about how to wire all the other things included like the power switch and sync and reset buttons

also why is magnet wire recommended for some connections? Is it just because it’s smaller, or is there another advantage?

what is u10 chip and how do i do the relocation

if someone could make a list saying witch steps of the Wii trimming guide apply to this trim along with how to properly wire up the other thins like buttons psu's and on/off switch that would be greatly appreciated

it would also be great to know witch steps i can do before the Wii trim in order to test it out/ at what points through the project i can test stuff

Magnet wire is recommended because it is small enough to fit in a wii via, and because it makes the soldering easier.
U10 is a chip that sends the signal to the wii to turn on
Not sure on your other questions as i have never built one.

The Noldendo uses the older 6 layer version of the Wii. There is a trimming guide expansion for it here https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.p...ive-wii-trimming-guide-6-layer-expansion.860/

The relocations and software principles are the same, the pins and vias are just in different locations compared to a 4 layer Wii

All that information is available right here. Literally on the first post. All due respect, did you try the bare minimum? like... google, maybe? People here are more than happy to answer questions, help troubleshooting and give you a hand but you gotta show that you're putting on the work yourself. Nobody's gonna hold your hand and guide you step by step, dude...
 
It's a very professional layout! I've printed out the case and the assorted internal holders. I'm at the point with mine where I'm testing the untrimmed board. It runs everything fine, with one exception: Donkey Kong Country for wii kills the loader after the title screen and forces a reset of RVloader.
On to the trim!!!
 
My Wii is an RVL CPU 30 I don’t know solder u10 to a pad of the cpu can u help me pls (sorry for my sentences I am French )
 
i see these but it’s not my Wii revision .. look at my u10 it’s not similar and the cpu pad

That looks like the correct location for U10 relocation, you will need to solder a wire to the CPU via on the other side of the board labelled U10 in the diagram that @JamesPi linked
 
I accidentally destroyed the FIL filter for the IR Sensor bar, does anyone know the value of that so I can order one?
 
This is absolutely amazing! I've been following your Wii Micro guide and just finished trimming the motherboard.
Everything is going smoothly so far. Thank you so much for putting together such a detailed guide!
