I finished the WiiVision XT. Everything is working except for the rumble motor. I temporarily disabled it because it comes on for a couple of seconds every time the WiiVision boots up, and for some games, it comes on a lot. Here are some photos of the finished WiiVision XT. Here is a photo...

I just wired up a joycon rumble motor to the GC controller, 5V to the MP, and connected the LRA pads. The rumble motor works in the button tester but it also rumbles for a couple of seconds every time I power on the Wii portable. Is that normal?

That was it. Wiring up HPS to ground turned on the sound. Thanks, Gman!

It's been a while since my last update. Thanks to Aurelio who helped me solve a weird problem with the Joycon joysticks where the left and right directions are flipped. Right now, all the buttons are wired up and working. My custom-design analog triggers seem to be working as well and have a...

After numerous iterations, I finally arrived at a design that fits everything in but only slightly larger than Gman and Shank's original WiiVision. I even shaved off a few mms from the initial case design in my original post. The current design is only 3 mm taller and 5 mm wider than the...

I also recommend PLA. I find PETG to be more troublesome to print and it tends to be more stringy which can generate a lot more work for post processing.

Awesome work. Also, I watched your video. You are very good at explaining things. For the 3D printed case, was it done by a FDM printer or SLA resin printer?

Got it. I thought you had a way to switch between the screen control and volume control.

How do you “have the screen control up/down buttons double as the volume control buttons as well”?

The source button changes which source of video input (composite vs vga) the lcd displays. Checking the VGA option during BBLoader install will not prevent the trim board outputting composite signal until you connect the mode pin on the AVE to the 3.3v.

You need to move both sticks in the Stick Wizard. Make sure when you move each stick you don’t let go of the stick, i.e., move to the right and move counterclockwise without releasing the stick in between.

If moving one stick causes GC+ to register a movement of the other stick, it’s possibly caused by you moving the other stick, when using the stick wizard, while configuring the first stick.

After having built a WiiVision (thanks again Gman et al), I've decided to make an updated version which I'm calling WiiVision XT. In this update, I plan to incorporate the USB-C PD + Internal USB PCB, simplify the types of buttons used, switch the X & Y buttons to match the gamecube controller...

Thanks, Gman. I’ll put some kapton tape on the batteries. On a related note, if you are talking about the nick on the right battery, that’s actually from accidentally touching it with my soldering iron. ☹️

I just completed my build of the WiiVision. It runs both GameCube and Wii games beautifully. I relocated the MX chip and the CR2032 battery is tucked away underneath the USB breakout board. This is my first portable and I tried to keep the wiring neat and solder points clean. But there's...
