beginner

I installed the homebrew channel, but am struggling on how to get game cube iso filed, and I also don't know if I did the wifi disabling bit to allow me to trim the motherboard

I've ordered 2 wii systems off ebay to work on. I'm a complete beginner. What tools do I need? I've already got a dremel. Is there a thread on affordable, quality tools I'll need? Also when I start cutting up motherboards how do I start a work log thread?

I am building an Ashida portable and I don't know what tools and extra parts not listed on 4 layer tech to buy. Please recommend things to remove soldering as well as a soldering iron and other important tools/pieces.

It is a portable wii that looks (a bit) like a book from he outside but inside it is your typical folding wii portable. Here is a pic. should i build this (im a beginner to the modding community) or should i start with an ashida or a simpler one like that?

I have a question as I am currently planning everything out as a beginner to build the Ashida Wii Portable. I am wondering where to get the shell 3d printed for good quality and extra tools I may need besides the essentials. I have a $750 budget for everything (I'm willing to spend some more on...

So ever since about September I have been hyperfixated on portables and console modding. Finally, here I am building my own. As for my first time doing this I have decided to build a Ashida. After a bunch of research I'm at 90% 80% 75% of understanding on how to build this. Anyways for my first...

Hello! I've never posted here before, and I've also never used a soldering iron before either, so there's a good chance that the solution to this is very simple - however, a brief search didn't help, so I thought I would ask here. Basically, I'm currently converting a regular (third party) PS2...

Hey all, I'm very new to the modding scene and would like to try my hand at making a Wii handheld. I am currently making a plan for parts, but am unsure what battery setup I should have. While exploring the forums, I discovered that most use 18650 Li-ion batteries. However, I have heard that...

I just bought a Dreamcast, and while using consoles as they were originally intended is always my preferred way to play, I've been thinking about modding it due to the high price of games. So, I have some questions. What exactly is getting changed, and what's the basic way to go about a mod...

I am a beginner in portablizing and I need help. I am making a portable wii that looks like a book (to sneak into school) I need tips because I suck at this. I tried soldering once and I melted a motor. I guess I was using a heat stick instead of the controlled ones and I was 9. I need to find a...

I posted a question like this about The Ashida Portable so I figured it would be better to ask here. So what kind of wires would a beginner need for soldering things like the battery contacts, the speakers etc.

first thread! This is gonna be a worklog for the Wii Micro I am going to be building. A lot is still under construction and very rough but I just wanted to start a thread so I can organize a lot of the info I'm writing. I hope to build a Wii Micro with a similar design to Jeff's or Gman's Wii...

Hello guys and gals, I'm TheGreenPowerRanger though you can refer to me as green for convenience sake. Even though I have been following the portabilizing scene for 5 years I am just now getting the confidence to make a true, full blown attempt at a portable so go easy on me pls. I have had a...
