Haven't been on here for a while, glad to see the meta is still strong! I've got a new portable in mind... (Rip slimboii) So what is currently the best/preferred display method? Direct drive sounded awesome but it's not in the 4layer store, is it still a thing? Where would I get one? Is there a...

Nope doesn't look like it, cleaned and reseated everything and same issue.

Hey guys, just wanting to comb the net for some knowledge! I just bought a non-working original 3DS (don't ask me why I'm not working on the slimboii) and from checking around on ebay it seems like the problem is somewhat common: When pressing power, the blue light comes on, and after a second...

Just to keep it simpler haha. The daughterboard has volume buttons on it, and when put into position one was already right up against eject, so I just ran wires to it instead of making another entire mount and switch on the power button. I also tried to power the front LEDs from the actual...

Yo dawg, heard you liked Wii So I put a PC in a Wii so you can Wii while you Wii on another Wii next to your Wii Yes my friends, while not a portable, this is a fully functional Windows PC inside a Wii case. I am pretty happy with how this turned out, it still looks like only a Wii at first...

Do you mean an internal ssd instead of or along side of a disc drive? As far as I know there is no way to mount any other type of storage to the disc drive connection... Otherwise, an entirely internal ssd would have to be converted to usb and soldered to one of the usb ports, so you're really...

This is hype, that direct drive board is smaller than I ever expected! We are truly in the golden age of wii modding

You can get all kinds of these 5v thin blower fans from laptops, if you don't have any junk laptops you can gut just go on ebay and type laptop fan, heres one example https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Genuine-Chromebook-11-Laptop-CPU-Cooling-Fan-M46X2-0M46X2/264384836413 You may have to run it off...

Looks like Wii have an update! (don't worry the rest is cringe-free) Finally got the aluminum part of the case milled for free at college, so those memes are attached. Little chonkier than I was expecting, but this is as thin as a portable can get with 18650 cells. There are little bits of...

Internals? :awesome:

When I was small the world was such a strange place
