Heya Guys Of BitBuilt. I have Decided to make a G - Wii but not in the way you think. See what I'm doing here is I will Buy every other PCB From 4 Layer Technologies aside from the Wii PMS. There are a couple reasons for this. one of the reasons would be how expensive the Wii PMS is, a second would be that I really like the Design of the way portables were made before the Wii PMS, it just impresses me and makes it Cooler in my head. So what I am doing here, is I am making the G - Wii rev 1. You guys know the one built by GmanModZ (a really cool guy) With the PC charger and the barrel jack? I did not have access to some Texas Instruments PTH08080 Voltage Regulators so I did my research and I asked a Couple people older and more experienced than me What would be the closest Volt Regs that would work. they gave me some of these DC Voltage Regulator Modules made by electrus distrution you can find it here: https://core-electronics.com.au/adj...vEWj9SwERX0dmzf-Dz1KNygEzAFET29MaAvjCEALw_wcB
I also have myself two 18650 luthiunium battery cells, 30 guage wire, and I bought wire from here (its not thick but its not thin) https://www.jaycar.com.au/hook-up-w...cadbb11281a3ad&sort=relevance&searchText=wire. also a 35 watt soldering kit and desoldering kit. Ive got a laptop barrel jack and a charger that fits that barrel jack.
a knock off GameCube Controller two Wii Nunchucks for the analogue stick and All the other stuff I found around me I knew I could use. I need a screen But I know where to get one from so thats not much of an issue :)

Sounds like a fun challenge. I like the G-Wii, it was my very first portable.
