Correct, however you will need to remove the onboard regulators.So if I wish to power a full-board could I go through the same OMGWTF wiring?

Would that bring down energy consumption? I would also like to use the USB and gamecube ports (not the memory card ports) so 5v is also required of course. Right now I'm just testing through the 12v inputCorrect, however you will need to remove the onboard regulators.
Things get wonky when you leave the regulators on the board. In most instances, the board won't work unless you remove all the regulator components.Would that bring down energy consumption?

I've got the custom regulators you guys advised in some posts and they are awesome. I've ordered enough to do 1v, 1.15v, 3.3v and 5v (twice) but am just wondering if there are any advantages between the custom regulators onto a full wii-board (thus power it through the original power input) or do it all through custom regulators on the designated places. I'm keeping it fully intact and only plan to move the GC-ports, remove the GC-memorycard slots (did that already) and remove the SD-card slot. USB, video output etc are still a 'must'Things get wonky when you leave the regulators on the board. In most instances, the board won't work unless you remove all the regulator components.
Custom regulators are more efficient than stock ones.
Not sure what you mean with that, guessing you mean difference between the onboard and custom? The custom ones are much more efficient than powering the wii with the official ones, since the official ones are built to be cheap, and custom regulators are built to be efficient (thus longer battery life).advantages between the custom regulators onto a full wii-board (thus power it through the original power input) or do it all through custom regulators on the designated places.
I'm going for a portable build where the Wii stays intact for the most part (just ground trimming and form factor won't be much bigger then my 7 inch screen + controllers etc) and therefore look for the best way to power the wii-board with the custom regulators BUT retain all required voltages and such.Not sure what you mean with that, guessing you mean difference between the onboard and custom?

If you mean the difference between trimming a board and using custom regs, and not trimming but still using custom regs, the only difference is that you will have to remove the onboard regulators before you hook up the custom regs so you don't have issues.
I guess that's what confused me, there is really only one way to do custom regs. The custom regs work the same as if you had trimmed the Wii, but with an untrimmed board you will need to remove all the on board regulators before using custom ones.look for the best way to power the wii-board with the custom regulators BUT retain all required voltages and such.
