Guess it's my turn for one of these. I've been planning on doing something like this ever since I saw Yveltal's Preliminary trim and how similar it looked to the Wii Mini, and with the Wii Micro being a thing, I thought something similar could be done with the Wii U. I cut out a Wii U board...

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...

Hi all! Long time without a post but I am back and with more electronics knowledge learnt this past few years, I'm ready to give it another shot! This time the project is planned to be much simpler and smaller scope so I can actually finish this and learn on the way! The idea is a handheld...

Hi everyone! Its almost 2024 and a perfect time to build a G-boy! or should I say the The G-Boy Rev4U! I'm making this a translucent shell with blue/white buttons so I'm calling it Glacier Ice! I have always wanted to build the Gboy from movement I saw it. Unfortunately I'm a little bit late...

1. The Online Recipe Preamble With all of that said, while it is an ambitious project with all the bells and whistles, I'm optimistic about the outcome and excited to get started. Thanks in advance to @YveltalGriffin, @CrazyGadget, @Y2K, and everyone else who humored my discord questions...

Hey everyone, I am building my first Ashida. Wanted to make a worklog to track my progress as well as ask a bunch of questions because I am very new to this. I have read a couple other Ashida worklog threads, watched Ginger's Ashida build VOD four times now, gone through the Ashida BOM, G-boy...

Hello all, I've committed myself to building an Ashida as my first and probably only portable build and so here we are. What I've done already: 3D Printed the Case Needs sanding (badly) Chopped a Wii Took more sanding than I expected to get acceptable resistance values but should be...

Hey everyone ! figured i would document my process as i’m going along i love the idea of being able to look back at the posts like notes. today i received a gamecube controller and a wii classic controller and quickly got to work desoldering components. i removed all the stick boxes, after...

Hey everyone! I recently started my journey of creating a G-boy. When the original Gboy kit came out, I desperately wanted to build one but didn't have the funds to at the time. Now with Gman's STLs, 4LayerTech, and Dustin Fisher's PCBs, I'm hoping to make one of my own! I started with...

This is where I'm posting my progress on my first wii portable!

"The Nintendo way of adapting technology is not to look for the state of the art but to utilize mature technology that can be mass-produced cheaply." Gunpei Yokoi was quoted as saying that in his book Yokoi Gunpei Game House. It was a philosophy that helped shape the Gameboy and was carried on...

Hello all! I'm super excited to finally start working on a portable Wii! :D I got inspired 2 years ago after watching LTT's video on the G-Boy. Now that I finally have a disposable income and an unsuspecting Wii, I can start on this project! Unfortunately, after rediscovering the G-Boy Kits and...

After years of modding Gameboys and staring longingly at portabilized consoles, I've decided to take the plunge and build an Ashida for myself. I've spent the past weeks reading the forums and gathering parts, and I've already put a significant dent into things, though the hard work is all ahead...

I want to make something like a Nintendo Switch, but as a Wii Portable. When I say "something like a Nintendo Switch," I'm not referring to the way it looks or feels. I'm referring to the ability to "dock" it for external TV output and support for external GC controllers. I hope for my portable...

# PS2DMG - Contest Entry 2022 - Worklog ## Prologue Actually I wanted to wait with the Worklog, until I have successfully relocated the Video DAC chip on a PS2.. but since I already put so much work into the designing process, I think it's about time to let you guys know what i'm working on...

6/13/22 - Finally started work on my first portable the other day, and man was it fun. I got so wrapped up I almost forgot to write a worklog, so this is going to be a lot of stuff on the first post. First things first, the prep. I purchased a black Wii off of Ebay for around $30 usd total. It...

My first Wii Portable of my design. Like the ashida, it is designed around 4layer tech boards. I'm calling it the Wiiclipse because I want it to be all black, like an eclipse (and puns are fun). My goal for this design was to make something minimal yet classy. I even made my own logo: I've...

mods please delete thread

(moving my worklog post over here for the contest, mods don't kill me.) Hello! My name is BardRights AKA CakeB0ss AKA Thomas and I've begun working on my first portable build. After years of passing research and a couple of half-assed attempts, I'm finally ready to begin working on portablizing...

Hello there fellow knights, Today (actually long ago) I decided to start a new Portable Wii. But thee might comment, "We already have plenty of Portables here, what new ideas do you bring?". Worry not, as I shall explain all the new features in the near future. Let's just say they do not call...
