Hello. Been casually modding Gameboys for a few years now and have been on here every so often to see cool modding things. I am trying to start learning how to make my own mods which requires much more knowledge than following a tutorial and knowing my way around a soldering iron.

Hey everyone! I'm new to portable console modding and would love to learn more about the topic. Currently working on a portable Super Famicom which is going pretty well.

Looking forward to knowing more about this community!

Hi Rob here, Ive been designing and building custom systems since 2014. Im not sure why I cant upload images of my work but here we are back in the dark ages with forum mods and strict rules. Here is my Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/robertdunnart/
That would be the automated anti-spam measures. Annoying, but sadly quite neccessary as of recent. You'll be awarded full user permissions on the bot's next pass

Hey all, my name is Jeff, been in the console modding community for a few years now.


I've had so, so many different projects bookmarked from this forum I figured it's a good time to finally make an account and get involved where I can. Looking forward to joining the community. :)

Hello, I am Nugit.

I've been looking at making a Wii portable ever since I started working on my own Wii game (mod) (demo comming soon) and would like to be able to play it on the go without needing to bring a pro controler and emulate off my phone.

Hello, I go by shaky.

I recently got into modding and have a general love for building and creating.
I have purchased all materials for the Ashida and am excited to get it put together.

Thank you to all the people responsible for this site and the information here, I’ve spent hours reading Wesk’s Ashida thread and the resources throughout are amazing.

Hello good peoples, I'm the Maltese Falcon.

I got into portables over 10 years ago during the Ben Heck days. I was always fascinated by the concept but all my previous attempts have ended with several fried motherboards. However, after watching a couple GingerofOz vids, I decided to give it another crack. Currently building an Ashida, but have interest in eventually building my own designs. Would love to build a portable PS2, Dreamcast, or even a CD-i (I'm not kidding).

I'm really keen to get into it and I look forward to sharing my progress with everyone.

Hi all, joining here since I'm currently working on my first wii trim project, a Nold wii miicro, and will most likely do more in the future.
Going well so far, I have a booting trimmed board, just need to do all the remaining relocations.

Hi I have modded several consoles, including the original Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and more. I also have some knowledge of pcb design and have created a few myself.

Hi there everyone!
I'm Virtvic - I used to host the Ten Pence Arcade Podcast (for ten years!), but now write a Tinkerer's blog on Substack.
I mod, make, review, repair consoles, arcade machines etc. I am a CNC machinist by trade and only really dabble in the electronics side - but I now most basics enough to make things work (sort of). I have a Bambulab P1S with AMS and am pretty good at 3d modelling with CAD CAM, because of my job.

I am currently in the middle of making a NES portable. It started off as me using a Nintendo NES Mini Classic, but those things are horrible to work with and I abandoned it after hitting too many brick walls. The hand held is now powered by a Pico Pi and a Pimoroni pico DV demo base. I know it's emulation - but it's a start into hand held building. I normally make larger projects - hopefully the next one will be a re-cased famicom.

Hopefully I'll get some inspiration from you experts on here!
