    Question A multi-platform portablized console?

    It would certainly be possible, though it would end up being quite large as you'd either have to stack motherboards making it Thick or put them side by side making it Long. If I were to do it I would make it with a wii and ps2 as those are probably the best documented and easiest to portabalize...

    Secret Santa 2024: Post/Discuss your gifts here!

    Only took two bodge wires and a drop of hot glue (I ordered the wrong power switch ) and I have a fully functional gba now. Here it is in all its glory. It's right at home with my family of handhelds. Thanks once again to @RDNoob26 For this wonderful gift.

    Secret Santa 2024: Post/Discuss your gifts here!

    I don't know who my secret Santa is, but they sent me an ips gba screen and this neat transparent Blue shell. When this is completed it'll be my first normal gba. I have an sp, but feel like the form factor of the original is better. I'll post again when the build is complete, but I'm waiting...

    Worklog Indigo Ashida Wii

    It turns out that I'd forgotten to hook up 1.8v from the motherboard. It now all works. I'll have to use it a bit more to make sure no more issues come up. I forgot to take a photo of the insides, so I'll make sure to get that if I do have to open it back up to fix anything. I'd say it's...

    Worklog Indigo Ashida Wii

    I came back to this project after completely disassembling my ashida yet again, and pleasantly learning that I hadn't killed my pms, there had just been a short. I'm hung up though at attaching the scw and sdw wires. When neither are attached, or I have either of them attached individually (or...

    Episode VI: Adieu For Now With the deadline looming, I guess this is my formal withdrawal from the contest. Back In july I started to cad the first fitment test models, but quickly lost interest. I then tried to hook up the console to my 5 in screen, but it wasn't able to read the signal from...

    Gameboy Macro XL's with USB-C and Screen Swap

    I've got two gameboy macro xl's for sale, (or trade depending on what you've got.) They are both modded with a usb-c port and screen swap button to alternate between top and bottom screen for the handful of ds games where you only need one screen I'm asking $70 for the grey one (has...

    How did you solve the battery charging, and playing while plugged in? I've had the same problem.

    Worklog Wiring a wireless Guitar Hero Guitar

    From what I can see it looks like your theory that you could wire up the controller to a cable directly is correct. However it doesn't appear that the points are in the same order as a normal controller pinout, so you will probably have to figure out which point is what. (For example it looks...

    Free 3D CAD Suggestions?

    You could ask @Wesk if he would be willing to share the non-mesh file of the Ashida (If it exists, though I'd assume it does as mesh files are a pain to edit).

    Forum Questions

    Couldn't find an existing thread for questions about bitbuilt so I made this one. Is there a limit to the size an image can be for it to show up directly in a post, instead of a link to an attachment, because some of my photos actually show up in post but others just show up as links. If so...

    Episode V: I'm a Very Black And White Console Living In a Colorful World I removed the two cut chips from the edge of the board, but sadly this did not make the system stay on longer, so I fashioned up a makeshift powerfully with the ps2's original powerfully. With that powering the board it no...

    So I've been having an issue with the system turning itself off. When the system is turned off the output from the pd board is at 8.5v, but when I turn the system on it drops down to 7v or lower and then keeps on lowering to around 5v which is where the console shuts off. I was wondering if...

    Episode IV: Time for a Trim I didn't get much work done for a while as I was procrastinating buying a new screen, but then I realized there was plenty more I could do without my final screen, such as b̶r̶u̶t̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶m̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ trimming the motherboard. Here's a Pic of our patient all...

    That's why I decided to use the ps2 to hdmi adapter, which seems to make it work with all other screens except this one. Since my last post I have tried this screen on a variety of other consoles and it always will only partially display the screen, but ps2 is the only one where it doubles the...

    Episode III: Double Trouble Good news: My hdmi converter boards and my charging/power management boards arrived. Bad News: The controller board that's built into the screen I'm using isn't interpreting the signal correctly. As you can see here the screen is outputring two copies of the video...

    Worklog Louii Twoii Part Two(ii)

    I wish you luck. I know that feeling of chocking at the end far to well. (Killed the wii right as I finished my Ashida the first time, and killed the pms lite right after I finished it the second time.) Hopefully it's only second time's the charm for you.

    Episode II: The Controllening I started hooking up wires to the controller board. I got the right joystick working, but anytime I tried to hook up the face buttons everything would stop working and it would act like I was holding dow on the dpad. It turns out that I needed to hook up the other...

    Episode I: Under the Dremel While waiting for other parts to arrive I got bored, and decided to start on the controls side of this project. With next to no planning I began, and the first thing I did was take out the Dremel. Here we have our specimen of Controloshellus Sacrificialus all taped...

    For my project I've decided to make a ps2 portable that's based off of the Playstation portal. The current plan is to take a dualshock 2, cut it in half, and have half on either side of the screen. However, because I've decided to simultaneously build @Redherring32 's TinyTendo, my budget is...
