    Hello! I've been looking for a console modder to comission for a custom console. The vague concept: Basically a trimmed Wii + trimmed N64.

    Question Bluetooth & PortablizeMii

    Heyo, I was wonder what the deal is with Bluetooth relocation, as I would like to play Wii games on my first portable. But the Bluetooth relocation seems redundant if you could hypothetically insert a USB Bluetooth adapter and connect a Wii remote? Same goes for wifi... The only reason I don't...

  6. Solved Battery life quote

    I know I've asked quite a bit of questions however, I was wondering about how much power a portable Wii would consume with a 5 inch (diagonally) screen with everything else usually in a portable like a Wii and fan etc.

    Question Broken U10

    I have desoldered U9 (after my attempts at desoldering U10 were unsuccessful), but one of the legs broke off (on the side with two legs). Is it worth trying to solder to the point where the leg broke off from, or should I move on to taking the U10 off another Wii motherboard? Basically - Is a...

    Solved Pad Labeling on GC+

    There are two pads across from each other (for resistors) with the label R2R9 - the rest of the pads are labeled R1-R16 (except R2 and R9). My question is: do I solder both R2 and R9 to those pads? What does it mean?

    Worklog The Wii Slim [WIP]

    Hi, I am currently reverse engineering the Wii's stock case to create a "Wii Slim". The project mainly consists of modifiable OpenSCAD files, so that i can easily change the height of the entire case and 3D-print a smaller one that better uses the space freed up by removing broken disk drives...

    Solved Where do I solder to relocate motherboard items?

    Now I'm sure this is a very dumb question, but where do I solder to relocate motherboard items? I should probably explain what I'm talking about. I'm trying to trim down a Wii motherboard that I ripped (Carefully took out) out of a Wii, so I've read "The Definitive Wii Trimming Guide" about ten...

    Question Noob here, looking for some forums that can get me started on wii portables.

    Hey! So I checked out the wii trimming guide and have a general idea of how to make a wii portable (looked at a work log) but some forums about the specifics of certain parts of the process (mainly wiring and where everything connects to) would be useful as I have very little electronic...

    Question Noob, power input or output question.

    I've been trying my best to understand everything on the trimming guide before going too hands on, I successfully relocated the U10 chip. Now the only question I have is if the 5v, 3.3v, and 12v locations are outputs or need to be supplied with the voltage to the pins 4, 10, and 13?

    Question (Noob Question)Wii portable without custom regulators?

    Is it possible to make a wii portable without using custom regulators? So i found out its hard to buy the custom regulators here in the Philippines and its expensive to buy outside the country. So is there a possible way to power it? Like the ps2 standard trim voltage relocation
  20. Question Switch type of video output

    Hey, the screen I am using for my trimmed Wii just has a composite input but I would love to have an HDMI output port on my console as well. In contrast, the Wii2HDMI adapter needs component output which I get if I would bridge the 3.3v and mode pins. Is it possible to get both output types at...
