    The Super Pi

    So over the last 2 weeks, I've been working on a project using the Raspberry Pi 3 as a portable gaming device. (Very original huh?) I made an attempt with it before using some really silly stuff inside of it: A USB SNES Controller, 18560s, RPI default audio... and so on. The final case thickness...

    Worklog Crankshaft Android Auto Unit

    Not gonna lie but the case is definitely janky. It's from a cheap 7 inch screen but the screen actually used in the project is not the same. It just so happened that the screen fit perfectly upside-down. Version 2 is gonna have a completely different case, probably 3D Printed entirely. It's...

    I've been working on an Android Auto head unit. I'm using an RPi 3 to drive a 7" touchscreen over HDMI. Im by no means attempting to make this the smallest unit, just something functional. As if right now it works 100%. What I got for features: Uses Crankshaft to connect to Android phone with...

    The Next Wii

    Finally got some progress. I bought this display from amazon. Its 7 inches, not 10 but it was very easy to slim down and to identify which components I could remove/relocate. I got the total thickness down to 6 mm, testing it along the way to make sure it still turned on and functioned. It runs...

    Guide Wii Working Currents

    So I was looking for information on how much current a Wii draws on each voltage line. I was on discord talking to Aurelio trying to figure it out when he shared a link to Cheese's notes on the difference current draws. Below are the maximum Amps drawn by each voltage line. | Volts | Amps ·|...

    Worklog The Next Wii

    This project is on hold until I finish the second portable I'm working on is finished. I still have the case and all but I'm thinking I'll have to change the batteries and possibly completely rip out the old GC Controller from the front of the case.

    Solved No video on Wii

    So it works now, after trimming the board. even bridging those MX pins didn't help. I don't know how reliable this info is but i found that the video signal outputs 0.7V when video is outputting. In the cases where the Wii wouldn't boot, it outputted 0V.

    Solved No video on Wii

    Solved No video on Wii

    I've been slowly modding the Wii board step by step. First I took it out of the case and installed PortablizeMii, it booted. Then I used U9 to replace U5, booted. Then I took off all the on board regulators and hooked up mine. I'm using the AP6503A regulator, which can supply up to 3A. I've...

    Question Arduino to program Free McBoot

    I've seen a project that can read and write info to PS2 memory cards using an Arduino. Shouldn't it be possible to write Free McBoot using an Arduino in that case?

    Before I start off I wanna say prices are slightly negotiable, and that every phone listed here works and will connect to a network. All phones with custom firmware can be put back to stock. Samsung Galaxy S4: $100 Works just fine for what it does, about 3 hours of screen time while connected...
