Here is my second Wii portable, which I am naming the “SP Liite V2” as it is a refined version of my first portable! I also created a custom case that doubles as a power supply and carrier of the usb-c cable. Here are some final pics and the video!
Here are the specs:
For the Summer 2022 Bitbuilt competition, I plan on revamping my first wii portable design. Even though the outside looks the same, there are a lot of quality of life updates on the inside and it is slightly bigger to make room for everything. I also plan on modeling a custom case that will have a battery bank incorporated inside so that it can both power/protect the portable
My design goals are similar to the first revision:
Here are the specs:
- LMAO v2-trimmed wii motherboard with a full nand relocation (without the flex)
- 3D printed Nylon case from JLC PCB It is also only held together by 2 screws and a sliding/locking mechanism so that it is easy to disassemble
- 3.5” inch composite screen via the cheap $10 320x240 Tianma Screen
- Custom regulators: 5v straight from the USB-C power source, 3.3v via a Mini 360 regulator board, relocated 1.8v LDO, and the 1.15v and 1v line with 2 mp1584en regulator boards
- Custom heatsink made from some aluminum heatsinks, a copper sheet, and a laptop blower fan
- 3DS sliders
- DS Lite buttons, triggers and the select button being used as the Z-button
- All of the screws that are used to hold things together are either from the disassembled wii or DS lite
- Dual action shoulder buttons via a grey squishy tact and the wii power/eject button
- Analog audio via a deadbugged APA2068 that is controlled with a potentiometer wheel. This allows audio to be switched between mono via a single DS lite speaker and stereo headphones when a headphone jack is plugged in
- RVLoader v1.3
- GC+ 1.0
- Removable microSD card with the Kingston microsd to usb adapter
- Trimmed MX chip with the clock and caps relocated with a coin battery (is not currently working though lol)

My design goals are similar to the first revision:
- To keep the entire cost of the project as low as possible
- for it to be tethered portable that can run off any 5v 3amp power source (car charger, power bank, wall socket)
- To scavenge as many parts as possible from the a DS Lite
- To have dual action tacts (that work well lol)
- A 3d printed shell
- To make the size in all dimensions as small as possible.
- to make it all black
