    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    Wireless u10 is definitely the way. But you have to run CK and DI first if you are using the DD as wireless u10 can cover those vias. I actually had to redo my wireless u10 to make room.

    Worklog First portable and first Ashida build

    Routing IS important. I think one of the things I was trying to say earlier is that we're blind people stabbing in the dark. We make a change, observe a small set of data, and then draw a conclusion. So moving a wire may have a positive impact, and it may not. But if you sample an hours...

    I tried out the new bitstream that Aurelio is working on. It seems to have completely resolved my issues with no hardware changes. I'm still testing. But I ran a full battery to empty in RVLoader with no lock ups. We'll see.

    I'm in the same boat on the learning. It's all guesswork of you don't know the underlying tech.

    Yeah, for sure. I know the feeling. The fact that Aurelio Said grounding shouldn't matter leads me to believe that it doesn't. But who knows. One thing that's very difficult on this project is to assign causality to changes that you make. Without being able to gather data and then make...

    Discussion RVL-DD Success/Struggle Stories - SDW/SDC and Controller issues

    Hey All! I'm trying to get as much data as possible on people who have built Ashidas (though really any Wii portable) using the RVL-DDv2. I've been struggling with RVLoader locking up, and occasional freezing in games. I've discussed this in the discord, and the general advice is to route...

    > I do not have any idea what I'm talking about here but I do suspect that maybe that is a source of interference. HAH! Same. It's so hard to isolate variables and prove that the change you've made is actually the source of the change you're seeing. Glad you're making some progress. I'm going...

    Incredible work! Thank you for doing this and posting a worklog.

    AWESOME! Good luck. Very curious to see how this plays out. I had originally run twisted 34g wires but I was seeing lock ups. I redid the routing and used 30g because @dubesinhower had a twitter post where he suggested that might help to resolve some issues. I talked with Aurelio on the...

    Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

    You're right, the fan is garbage. If it wasn't the first part installed I'd replace it, but that's going to be a pain. I can run the stick wizard. But if I'm in RVLoader for more than a minute or two (most times) it will freeze. Keep me posted. I might start a thread for DD users. I want to...

    Can you try to calibrate the fan and see if you get lock ups? I've been unable to get through calibration. Generally if I spend too much time in RVLoader the system freezes. FWIW I've been struggling with a DDv2 Ashida. It locks up in RVLoader and sometimes in GC games. When it does it usually...

    Worklog My First Portable: An Ashida

    Next up, relocate U10, remove the Wifi and Bluetooth modules, and prove that the system will boot. On the discord, it was suggested that Wireless U10 is the way to go. The big advantage is that, once it's in place, there's no wire you could accidentally pull off while doing the trim. I really...

    Question RVLoader randomly freezing after RVL-DD install

    I'm seeing the same thing. I'm just wrapping up my Ashida build and I built with the RVL-DD from the ground up. So it's possible that I've done something else wrong. But I've yet to see it lock up while playing a game. EDIT: This was offered in the discord as Dubesinhower appears to have...

    Worklog My First Portable: An Ashida

    I began actually working on my Ashida back in March when I cut my (first) Wii. I've been documenting my work in my lab notebook and taking photos with my phone and (cheap) microscope. I keep trying to tell the story of this work to my friends and family, but it's tough to explain this stuff to...

    Question Getting started on an Ashida - Trim and Power

    I follow. I'm saying what model did you print? Is it publicly available? The model I have mentions needing clips. I just don't know if they're the same ones.
