I thought I'd share a project I've been working on this semester for school (it's pretty cool): This is basically a partial NES emulator that can play music but not generate graphics. It's implemented entirely in SystemVerilog for the Nexys 4 DDR board, but it doesn't use too many resources...

Hi everyone, Summer has just about come to an end and I'm finally able to release the project that took up most of my time. As the name suggests, this project intends to fully replace the Wii's Bluetooth module and add lots of new controller options some people may find useful. Firstly, all...

I've been working hard on a new controller emulator and it's finally ready for release! Classic+ is a replacement for Classic Controller and Nunchuk controllers in the same vein as GC+. It comes with a Wii homebrew app called Classic+ Configurator that handles calibration, updating, and other...

Hi everyone, I started selling some custom headphone and speaker amplifiers for Wii and GC portables a while ago. I made an updated version, but I don't sell them anymore, so I'm "formally" releasing everything for anyone to use however they want. All the information for building and...

Here are some board scans I've collected in the past year. I apologize there is no silkscreen/solder mask scan for the original Wii Remote. I didn't think of scanning that part at the time. Original Wii Remote Wii Remote Plus (TR Version) Wii U Pro Controller

I've realized I forgot to post this here because I didn't know where to put it (don't we need a Switch section?). Anyway, here's a video and a little worklog showing off this fairly simple mod to make the Switch compatible with Bluetooth headphones. Worklog: The headphone jack still works...

I threw together a display this week for one of my teachers who wanted a sign to spell out words or phrases. She's a fan of Stranger Things, so she asked that it be based on the scene where Christmas lights spell out words on a wall. It uses these individually addressable RGB LEDs with an...

UPDATE: Here's the finished product! Internals: Features: The portable contains an internal GameCube Controller, internal Wii Remote, and internal Classic Controller that can be switched with a button. These diagrams indicate the changes in button layout for each controller...

I haven't seen this posted here yet, so I made a complete pinout for the Wii's WiFi module. It has 6 primary data lines, as we know, and 2 unused GPIO pins. It communicates via SDIO - 4 data lines, 1 clock line, and 1 command line. The 1.8v is not an input, but more of an output for reference...

Hi! I've designed a custom audio amplifier for portables that works with both speakers and headphones. It's optimized to have great volume range on a GameCube or Wii. Note: I'm not selling these anymore, but you can PM me for information if you want to build your own. Here is the board. Its...

This is a small audio amp made for small portables. The circuit board is 21 mm X 24 mm. I got them from OSHpark and hand-soldered all the components. This is the ideal amp for me since I can never find a good, low-wattage amp to buy for my projects. Technical features: - 2W stereo speaker...

This is my first Wii portable system. I tried to make it very "Wii" by painting it all white and including some Wii remote buttons and player LEDs. Its dimensions are 176 mm x 94 mm x 29 mm. These are the highlighted features: - Vacuum formed case, all hand crafted - An internal Wii remote...

I have a 4.3" LCD running on this driver board from BuyDisplay. I have HDMI wired directly to a component-to-HDMI converter, wired to a Wii. For a long time, it worked well, but recently, the screen responds as if there is no signal present. I have confirmed that the signal from the converter...

Now that I'm not spending my nights slaving away on school work, I've got a new portable to make. It's been a long time since I've done any big projects with a gaming system, so I'm excited to see how it turns out. I want this to be an all-Wii portable, ensuring that it emphasizes this is a Wii...

While messing around with an older Nintendo Wii remote (without Motion Plus) I found the following pinout for all the buttons on the controller. The vias lie right where the speaker sits, underneath the Broadcom chip. Pin 13 ("Common") is the common line that all the buttons connect to. You can...

This is just some info I've collected regarding booting games without a disc drive or any disc drive replacement on the Wii. I think this will be helpful, if not necessary, in moving forward with Wii portabilizing, as the smallest cuts have chopped off the disc drive connector. The method I...
