wii

Good morning everyone, I asked these questions in the Discord server, but I also wanted to ask them here in case anyone in the future has these issues! Assistance with these issues is greatly appreciated! I've just about finished my third Ashida and I've run into a few issues that I have not had...

So the Wii Direct Drive is pretty darn expensive and I dont really see any quality benefits in comparison to the FujiFlex and HDMI driver board combo. The problem with that however is that the driver boards are big, bulky and unneccessary and mostly use rtd2660 chips or derivatives which are...

Hello everyone ! I just have some weird problems with my Ashida: When the SCW and SDW wires are connected to my Wii, RVLoader boots. But after only a half second, the signal's gone. Then the screen shuts down. I thought it was just a crash. Howerver, I was able to connect a Wiimote. The weird...

Hey there, I’ve been working on an Ashida and recently trimmed my motherboard and have been having issues getting it to start. Currently, when I try to start the Wii, I feel it getting warm but when I tested it with my multimeter while the Wii was powered on, I was not getting any current from...

Recently I saw Project Short Stack by Loopj and I really love how cute having a little console is. I considered making one myself, but doing so would require an OMEGA trim which is beyond my capabilities, at least at the moment. Enough time has passed since my spectacular failure with the...

A @Wesk and Yveltal collaboration! Last summer, while Wesk was developing the Final Destination OMEGA, he and I discussed creating a Wii micro build even smaller than the GC Nano. The first build to ever FULLY utilize the OMEGA trim. The smallest functional Wii ever made, barely larger than...

This is my second attempt at an Ashida. My last trim worked at first, but this one not so much. I’m using U10 emulation with the PMS-lite and my voltage line resistances are good. The CPU heats up when the board is powered on. I cut too close to the audio pre-amp area, but I don’t believe that...

Good day everyone. I will try to explain this as well as possible. I want to preface this by saying that this is my 3rd ashida build. I trimmed the Wii and tested the resistances like usual. All seemed well there, with the exception of the 3.3v being around 7.4k. Anyway, I soldered a test...

I am building a wii micro (uses 6 layer board), and about to do a U10 relocation, but i noticed that my gpu looks like the one on a 4 layer wii (see pictures) Everything else however indicates that it is any other 6 layer wii. I was watching ginger's livestream on wii trimming, and he pointed...

The Fliptendo is finally finished. That project took a lot out of me. So, that asks, what's next to build? Something even more complicated! I've been recently inspired by @Shank 's recent attempt to make new cards for a SONY CRT. He even made one that just had a Wii on it, which got me...

I am new to the modding game and I need some help. I trimmed the Wii, transferred the u10, got the voltages where they should be, and video output (just composite) wired up. I can’t get the thing to boot. I did test it before hand and the Wii would only boot with the Bluetooth plugged in. So I...

On March 30th, I stepped into territory I had never faced before. Everyone always wants to build a portable Wii or a micro. But, not everyone has what they need for it. The original Noldtendo was released August 26th, 2020. It is one of the most well known 6-LAYER Wii projects. It's even viewed...

Is there a good alternative to the rvl direct drive?

Hello! Can anyone give me some more things to try in regards to a few shorts I found? I have a short to ground on the 1.15V line (Continuity mode; One probe on ground screwpost, another on the 1.15V point mentioned here; and I'm getting a beep). This makes some sense because it is fairly close...

What do I use for joysticks? Do I need a custom PCB or what.

I recently released fujiflex, a GCVideo DVI flex PCB for 4-layer Wii motherboards. It is permissively licensed under the Solderpad Hardware License v2.1! GITHUB LINK Features: Compact 28 x 30mm 2-layer flex PCB (requires KiCAD 8.0 or later) ~$10 BOM cost Powered from 3.3V and 1.8V (1.2V...

Hi, I am soon going to be starting a zelda themed gwii with mx, bluetooth, and ir. I would like the design to be similar to gingers waker of the wiind. This is my first portable and will most likely be my last. I am willing to learn and answer any questions, if I make any mistakes feel free to...

Hi I've modded my wii with rv loader for a portable and I was wondering if I needed to use that coin battery thing or if I can just not use thanks :)

Hi I'm a little confused on how to install rv loader I've already installed homebrew channel and I'm attempting to install rv loader with a usb stick and it doesn't seem to be working , This is like only my 3rd time trying to install something like this is there possibly a step by step guide of...

I'm building a portable wii and I was wondering if I fully remove the disc drive will my wii still boot if I download homebrew channel and rv loader ? (I'm not Trimming the motherboard btw)
