worklog

(Credit to my dad for the terrible name) Disclaimer: I designed this in SketchUp, mainly because I wanted to design it now rather than later after learning a new program, parts of the case are jank. You'll look at parts and think "why", SketchUp is why. Designing something this complex in such...

This is my worklog for my wii portable build project. I just placed an order for all my tools. So far, I have the 7 or 8" screen, driver board, hdmi splitter and hdmi adapter (i know, bad for power but as its my first time, ill give it a whirl), 6 layer wii (going to search for a 4 layer this...

So after months of lurking on here I decided it's about time to start a work log of some sorts. I first was interested in portabilizing consoles when I ran into ModdedbyBacteria's N64 portable way back in 2009. After all these years I decided to finally give it a shot but with a wii seeing as I...

I started work on my first portable a few weeks ago and one dead board later I finally have a setup that boots to portabilize-me post-trim. Currently using 4x pth08080wad regulators to power the system and I've left the AV socket on for now to help with testing. I do have an RVL PMS coming so I...

Hey folks! I've spent a lot of time reading all of the guides/material/videos and I think I'm ready to get started! My current BOM is looking something like: Buy from BB: Audio Amp, PMS, Dual Tacts, GC+ Buy From other: 5" Screen, Speakers, Headphone Jack, Power Jack, Fan, Heatsink, Switch...

Hi there, After log putting of the creation of this log, partially due to shame and laziness I am finally creating one. This project started with the a video showcasing the Wii SP. Since I saw that I fell in love with portable consoles. They are just perfect, the community is awesome, the...

Soon, from now to summer, I plan to build my Wii Portable. It will have a 4.3" av Screen, video out through HDMI (for compatibility), GameCube buttons/ L and R, 3ds sliders, Sterio speakers and 3.5mm jack (using UAmp), 4 GameCube controller inputs, USB C charging, USB A game data and more...

I feel like it's about time I start a worklog, I've been putting it off for a bit. I've gotten almost all of the parts I need, i'm just missing the case and audio amp (sort of). I recently trimmed my Wii and relocated bluetooth/A10 (i'll attach photos) Theres a few things i'm unsure of, I...

Hey! Welcome to my 1st(Successful) portable Nintendo 64 Console called the Gameboy 64! It was named like that because of how it's handled like a gameboy advance! I worked on this unit for 3-4 weeks to finish including the case design and everything, but didn't want to post a worklog until i...

I've been reading a lot of stuff on the site and lurking around a lot of the other worklogs of complete noobs like me while collecting parts and tweaking my design. But I've actually done some work on some things and I like feedback so, In the words of our favourite plumber, here we go... BOM...

So I started work on my N64P (yet to be named). Its been slow going, but I'm making a bit of progress each day. I've ordered/found (most of) my parts and so far I've only broken down the board. In the pic, I've marked (a tiny bit of) where I'm going to cut. But I want to get the cart relocation...

I’m not too entirely sure what I’m going to be doing for this Contest, most likely a portable, and wii. This first worklog will be for me going through Idea’s, and what’s done. So far I haven’t gotten too far in anything, I have a couple of Case Idea’s, I have this one, Pretty much done, The...

For this year’a contest, I am entering with my WiiBoy-esque portable! It is my first ever attempt at using CAD software to design a portable. The case is based on a DMG and has the exact same dimensions. It’s going to have 3.5” VGA memes, a cool little battery cover and, since we are all...

Working on two ps2 portables atm started the second due to the fact im waiting on the case and my Dremel set to finish the first one.so far I made a few awesome discoveries on the 2nd portable though! all images are from the second project which uses a 50001 motherboard. ( hit a brick wall...

(TL: DR joycon guts+ Wired GameCube pcb + wavebird case) Foreword: I absolutely hate wires as i have a propensity to unplug them, thus I loved my wavebird. While i began with an Original Gameboy, i fell in love with the GameCube's hand friendly controller. But alas, Nintendo despite being super...

Tbuddy’s Kuēsā Computer (Name still under development, so open to suggestions before it gets concrete) This is my Bitbuilt 2018 contest entrant. What it is: It is a SBC(Single Board Computer) I’ve decided to go with an Up board for the Brains of this operation(Thanks Dave <3), mostly...

Hi Bitbuilt, I've lurked around this website and asked a few questions, but now it's time for me to work on my project. Like the title, the Mini Mii (might change, hopefully it's not taken either) is going to be my Portable Wii project I'm working on. Now I might not have the skills or knowledge...

Hello there. I registered just a moment ago. So, I bought a Wii to try OMGWTF on and will most likely turn it into a portable and some kind of dock with GC ports and stuff. Main goal here is ability to play GC games, but I'm planning to keep BT and wifi. Progress so far consists of a succesful...
