Hi all, I've finally gotten around to wiring up my Wii. When I tried the first test boot, the screen turned on & was set to VGA, then turned off. The Wii began heating up, but that was the only sign of life. Now the screen wont turn on at all, and the only thing that happens is the fan spinning...
First major update! I got all the things required to boot a Wii PCB (including the best cooling solution my caveman brain could come up with) and installed RVLoader. Finding the required WAD files online was tricky, but I eventually found my solution. I turned the WiFi patch on and VGA on, but...
I've been having an issue- whenever I try and get the models printed thru Craftcloud or JLCPCB, my order is canceled.
EDIT: Here's the email I received-
Hi Sir/Madam,
Well got your order with many thanks~
Sorry to bother you, but there is one thing that we want to confirm with you about...
WORKLOG ---
The thought to begin my worklog hasn’t crossed my mind until now, so I’ll just cover the (very little) progress I’ve made until now.
I decided that making an Ashida Wii would be the best for my skill level, as it seems like a pretty good beginner’s option (ignoring the lack of...
I bought a 4-layer wii PCB from ebay, since it would be significantly cheaper and easier than hunting down a wii with the right board to buy. One thing I did not think about at the time, however, was how I would install the Homebrew channel. How should I go about this? Any help would be very...
Hey all, I've been designing my own Wii portable in Fusion360, but I can't seem to find the dimensions anywhere online.
What I'm looking for is:
-RVL PMS 2
-PMS-PD 2
-OMGWTF Motherboard Trim
If anybody has these dimensions handy, please let me know! :)
Hi all! I've been pretty fixated on building a portable wii as of late, and decided (after some surface-level research) that an Ashida would be my best bet for a first project. Thing is, I have very limited knowledge when it comes to hard-modding and electronics, so I have no idea where to even...
Yeah, not too sure about that lol. It does seem like trimming the board would be my best option, although I'm not so sure I trust myself to handle a high-rpm rotary death machine to cut through a fourty dollar PCB.
Hi all, i'm new here & was wondering how I could build an untrimmed (still handheld) semi-portable wii that plugs into the wall for power? What components would I need, and what can I leave out/substitute? Would something like this even be possible as a handheld? Thanks!
