portable

I was thinking, if making a console portable is possible, why not the Wii U? From what I've read, it uses even less power than the original wii. Problem is, it uses 15V. That's a weird voltage. However, 14.8V lipo batteries are a thing. Wouldn't a simple power cable spliced to a couple or a few...

Okay so I’m on my second Wii now (I accidentally fried my first one), and I’ve run into some trouble. I opted not to trim my Wii because I’m not very experienced with that type of stuff. So on to the problem: I soldered the “ground” and “composite” wires from the Wii to the “AV2” and “ground”...

(within reason) I've got a 4-layer board on the way, and I want to make something out of the ordinary. Initial thought: Pi Zero mini-terminal + Wii portable Wrap 'em in a 3DS XL case with a keyboard on the bottom half ( a la @Luke ). But I want to hear more!

I have just started this project a few weeks ago, buy haven't had much time to make much progress cuz school 'n stuff. My first idea was to 3d-print a case to fit the ps3 inside of and use a screen I have and stick it on top of that with some hinges. Now I've realized I don't have the necessary...

So a while back I decided to try building a portable DreamCast, but I wanted to do it differently from most portables. My idea's are to remove the disk drive and do the IDE mod with DreamShell so I can load games off an CF card. To make it feel more like a handheld game using cartridges, and a...

Here is my entry into this contest. It is a "portable" Gamecube in a 3D printed case with the design heavily influenced, borrowed, and stolen from the GameBoy Advance SP. After many months on hiatus due to issues with a malfunctioning WASP Fusion, it is now complete and back to perfect working...

This project uses an Attiny 85 microcontroller and a small OLED screen powered buy a tiny LiPo battery. The result is a device less than 2 inches tall. Can be charged via micro USB within 15 minutes, battery lasts days...

so I've started a portable wii porject and I have a 12v 6000mAh DC battery pack that I'm going to use, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good AC to DC converter for my portable Wii project.

So I finally started to trim my wii motherboard, I've got to say it's a pain in the ass. Anyways after a long time of sanding I think I'm good. If anyone else has any advice I'd love to hear it, thanks.

Hi there, I'm new here and could use your help and expertise. My background is in mechanical engineering and design, so electronics are a bit flummoxing beyond simple wiring. BUT I got it in my head to turn this N64 carcass I found in a bin into a portable with a custom, hardwood housing. I got...

I'm looking for any gamecube mod chip to buy. If anyone has a spare mod chip, tell me which one and how much your willing to sell it for and i'll get back to you as soon as possible!

okay so I've been researching how to load Gamecube games from an SD card onto a Gamecube so I can get rid of the bulky DVD drive, but wiikey fusions, wasp fusions, and wode jukeboxes are no longer being sold! Also I bought a Xeno GC Mod Chip, but turns out you still need the DVD drive with a...

Okay so I'm making my first portable console, (a gamecube obviously) and I am not sure what I should do with the power board! So here are my questions: 1. How do I connect the battery to the power input? 2. Will the battery power button turn on power or will the power board button turn...

So as you guys know, I'm working on a wii portable that is going to look like a larger version of a ds lite. I paint and customize consoles in my spare time, and I'd like to bring that into my portable. So, I want to try and find a "theme" that fits my portable. Does anybody have any ideas? I'd...

So you are making a portable and everything is going well. Half way through you decide that you want the ability to have multiple controllers connect to your portable; oh no, you don't have any more room but for one extra port because you didn't plan it out in the beginning. Or perhaps you made...

One problem I had with my portable was I could never really show it off properly, as such I designed a simple stand for it and decided to share it with the community. Although it's designed for a Downing portable in mind, It's universal enough that it will probably work with most portables...

Hey everyone, here i will be posting all of my shitty work on my duct taped together Wii Portable.

Hey guys, here's my worklog for my Wii portable (contest entry)! I'll be calling it the "Thetacube", has a nice ring to it, no? I've ordered everything I need to build a working portable, minus the battery stuff (will be running off external power until I get that ball rolling). Not trimming...
