Hey everyone it’s been awhile! I recently started working on this project again but I’ve hit a bit of a brick wall. The Wii is booting and has video but I cannot for the life of me get input from the GC+2.0 despite it working before. I’ve tried resoldering the data wire, checking the voltages...

Time for a long-overdue update! As it turns out working with organic geometry for a project that requires a lot of straight lines is really difficult, but entirely possible. Progress is slow, but I've done most of the hard work designing everything. So far there are working mounts for the...

Hello Bitbuilt! I finally got around to learning how to model after finishing my G-Wii clone. In my time on this website, I've seen people make some incredible builds. Wiis that fit in your pocket, portable kits you can buy and build yourself, so on and so forth. But the one thing that seems to...

Was afraid you'd say that but I tried it anyway and I can confirm it still works. I tested it with the board on and I seem to be getting 3.3v on the flex. The ground also seems to work but I jumped a wire from the GND on the flex to another GND on the board to make sure. Yup triple-checked...

Oh shoot Ok I fixed it and checked the continuity for all the connections but I still can’t get video, how do I know if I killed it?

Hello BitBuilt! I’m pretty much done with my other portable so I’m dipping my toes into a more difficult trim. I got this Wii working with homebrew and a relocated U10 but I couldn’t get it to work after I relocated the NAND. There’s probably something really obvious I’m forgetting but don’t...

Does anyone have any documentation on what Wiimote revisions have been trimmed and how much we're able to cut off?

As far as I can tell the vdrop is probably a short I haven’t seen or too much resistance on the wires. The batteries I have are rated for 3.6v max and are brand new so there shouldn’t be any problems with them. Although, when I disconnected the gc+ the voltage jumped up 0.15v so I’m thinking...

OK, so I got the Bluetooth and headphone jack working, but I kinda got a new problem I couldn't figure out. I replaced the BQ and solved the charging problem I had in the last post but sometime between now and then I started to have voltage problems. When I turn the console on the green light...

Small question but I cut out this MX chip and I accidentally cut off the line with a battery protection resistor and test pad, is this salvageable? I still have the rest of the Wii so I’d be able to solder on another resistor if there is a replacement for it.

It won’t, I’m giving it 3.3v which the ldo converts into 1.8v.

Hello! I’m necroing this thread because I now have the same problem on a second PMS. I replaced the BQ chip I BBQ’d but when I turn the board on I get nominal voltages across the board except for 3.3v which seems to always be lower than the batteries. With it wired to everything else (the...

I decided to add a GC controller port which works but not too long after the portable stopped turning on unless I plugged and unplugged the charger. For whatever reason, the problem disappeared the day after but I'm not sure why it was a problem at all. At the time I thought it was some sort of...

So I was reading over the Wii SP 1.0 and 2.0 work logs to see if I could try and understand how the touchscreen in place of IR was done. From what I understand Jackson trimmed a specific version of a Wiimote down to its core components w/ accelerometer, hooked it up to his custom controller/lcd...
