(First thread, hope it’s in the correct section)
Just want to start out saying how much info and knowledge I’ve accumulated over the last month since I saw a few Gman’s videos showing the G-BOY off and absolutely fell in love with the idea of Portablizing a Wii (as most of us here im sure). Soon after I also discovered that the G-BOY had been discontinued, but since I’ve seen such an amazing community here at BitBuilt I have the necessary drive to start a project of this caliber even though I have no extraordinary soldering skills.
I am still in the middle of accumulating bits and pieces, but I basically have all the necessary parts except for the PCBs. So I do have a few doubts in that respect.
Would the PCBs being sold nowadays at 4layertechnologies still work and fit in the G-BOY case or would they need different wiring?
I suspect that these would still work or might even be the same ones used originally:
joystick breakout boards
Pms-pd-2
But I do see differences in the GC+2, U-AMP 2 and the RVL-PMS-Lite or the RVL-PMS-2. I also seem to be missing a replacement for the shoulder buttons PCB…
Do any of the PCBs from the Ashida set work or fit?
If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m quite new to the scene but would much appreciate any light you could shed on the matter, and can’t wait to see it come to fruition.
If I am able to accrue everything on my BOM, I would love to share my progress with all you amazing folks.
P.S. I have been looking around in the forum, and would like to ask if there’s anything resembling a second hand marketplace for the portable Wii’s or parts needed for them.
Thanks again, hope you all have an amazing day
