Hello everyone I've already introduced myself on the forums yesterday. Anyway, I'm a 17 year old male from Italy. I grew up playing the Wii and watching my father play Super Mario Galaxy late at night when I was unable to move further into the game, great times... *sigh*
Before I get lost in nostalgia, let me say I have an "idea" rather than a project in mind as there's looots of research to be done before even attempting such an ambitious project.
So here it is: the "OnlyMii" named that way because I want to build a portable solely and exclusively for myself. Yup, no extra controller ports and no TV out. A selfish project indeed :3
Expected features:
The goal: play Super Mario Galaxy again, especially in bed at night to relive the indescribable feelings the game gave me as a child, those shivers and that sensation of roaming in space no game can match...whilst also taking a good chunk of the GC library, WiiWare titles and generally just the whole experience with me wherever I go.
So, that would require Wiimote emulation thanks to awesome fella Aurelio, right?
What I have:
Videos, tutorials, suggestions, really just any sort of tiny little bit of help is appreciated

Expected features:
- 16:9 5" display with Aurelio's VGA patch for razor sharp 480p
- Gamecube joystick and buttons
- DS Lite speakers
- Power management board
- Dual tact
- GC+ board
- OMGWTF trim
- *Wifi capabilities to play online thanks to Wiimmfi
- Emulators
- 3D printed case (which I probably won't make myself) sanded and painted
- Charge & play
- Headphone jack (curse you, Apple)
- Rechargeable batteries with no less than 2 hours of battery life, ideally 3 hours.
- *USB type C out to charge the portable with a modern cellphone charger
- Memes

What I have:
- Dedication
- Energy...I suppose?
- Basic (but constantly growing) electronics knowledge as well as little experience with soldering iron
- Passion
- Softmod skills gained from former projects
- Native-like fluency in English as I grew up bilingual, making guides and communication with other members much easier to follow or engage in respectively
- Money (€)w(€)
- Any and all tools essentially, though that's no big of a deal as I have money to buy what I need, suggestions for a soldering station here in the EU are greatly appreciated!
- A workspace, hence the reason why I probably won't be doing this project anytime soon here at home, I'll have to wait for uni in a year.
- Knowledge concerning everything else: power (?) regulators (???) wot
