Trying to hold back the nut… A work of art! Well done man.

Revision 1.1 of the main board is almost ready to be ordered! I can feel the project end drawing near. There's still a lot to be excited about in the future with this board, like Vulkan support and newer linux kernels which will improve performance significantly compared to the GLES binary...

Quick update. Rev 1 won’t be the final revision (shock horror). The third connector was completely upside down which means nothing on it works. I’ve removed it for testing at the moment and will hand it over to GinKage to play with whilst I’m on vacation for the next week. For now, things that...

CM5 rev 1 carrier board PCBs are here! Hooray. :D I will let everyone know if any magic smoke appears this weekend.

I had a lot of issues with JLCPCBA and their engineers mixing up my land patterns with their stock LCSC library, which delayed ordering the boards by at least a couple of days. Safe to say it was a very frustrating experience, but to give them credit, they did solve the issue for me in the end...

Think I’ve finally reached a point where I’m happy with the trigger design. It’s no analog trigger but the dual tact saves the day ;) https://youtube.com/shorts/n7Z8iXUzZ-Q?si=msHNf9PvEkrRGqKI

Small update time! New MJF nylon case arrived from JLCPCB. It feels great and is high quality. The rear was slightly warped but not too bad, definitely usable. It cost about $45 for all the CAD parts, including buttons. Not bad at all. :awesome: The final v1.0 PCB design is completed and...

I guess it was just a personal preference for me. For stick input “heavy” games like PS2 or GameCube, I think it makes sense to have the face buttons equal to the height of the main input. But I will release a CAD model with the DPAD up top as well, as this seems to get requested pretty...

I made a bit of a botch on the USB 3.0 input, nothing that a bit of jumper wire couldn't fix up. I didn't bother testing the speeds yet since I doubt they will reach the theoretical max of 5 Gbps with the butchered wiring (the RK3588s only supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds & not Gen 2). But I'm glad...

https://github.com/StonedEdge/Retro-Lite-CM5/tree/main/enclosure/STL STL files for the enclosure and buttons have now been uploaded here (keep in mind this is a v1.0 & I may still make some tweaks here & there).

Yes, all will be open sourced eventually and on GitHub so you can see the details when I’ve finished the model. Just need to make a few more tweaks before it’s uploaded.

The new Retro Lite CM5 shell design is "mostly done" so I thought I'd share what's changed vs. the CM4 - I think it's a good improvement over the previous design so I'm excited to share it! The trigger design has been improved to support dual tact buttons and is now a 3 piece assembly...

Please don’t double/triple post as it clogs up the forums. Edit your original post and wait for someone to reply.

Awesome gifts!

Please excuse the messy desk, but we have a working Type-C DRP extcon now with PD sink/source profiles, a SuperSpeed mux for cable flip & Type-C Alt Mode. You can see I am using an active Type-C to HDMI dongle, but I’d like to try it out with other off the shelf docks eventually. The setup was...

Yeah, I’m already quite far into the design phase now and have been redoing the CAD work from scratch. A few people have asked if I can use an OLED or if I can use the switch screen. I think it could be possible, but I don’t think I can get the switch screen working as much as it would be great...

The components are finally all soldered onto my test board so I thought I'd share a photo - they look great! But do they work - that's the next adventure. I'll get into testing the TPS65987D USB-C PD controller over the next few weeks & report back with any road blocks. Right now, the test...

I'd recommend starting your own thread as this is the wrong place to chat, please make a thread in the Wii subforum. Locking this as it is a guide, not a place to ask questions. Thanks.

No, the NAND is encrypted with its respective console keys and will only work with the CPU it’s paired to. You can rewrite it of course but that’s probably a lot of effort.
