I want to start making my own designs for cases, but i dont have enough money for fusion 360. What would be a good alternative to it

Is it possible to add a jack connector to a ps one?, and if it is, how?

I’m building the Ashida Wii portable and I’m wondering if the CL220 Klein Multimeter is going to cover everything I need.

I think so, provided it can be configured to 20k ohm range in resistance mode

I’m not sure, can you tell from this?

Not really, but my guess would be the RANGE button toggles.......... the range?

So it’s my first time trying to build a wii portable and I got the Wii and everything done only to find out that it’s a 6 layer and not a 4 layer and it can’t be used as a portable. Is there anything I can do with this or should I just sell it for parts?

Hi, I just registered, I have no knowledge of modding and little funds *that could change rapidly.
I may be interested in making a Wii portable, I have a 4 layer Wii, I'm not confident in trimming it so I'll either buy a motherboard or I won't trim it as I've heard some people don't.

I have a family member who's into electronics/it but has never touched console parts. I'll watch every video on Shank's page.

The one resource I have is time.

In my wildest imagination, I'd put a Wii motherboard in an old laptop, I don't know if anyone has done that.
I know the best way to start is to try until you succeed but do you have more tips?
I've always been keen on D.I.Y., I've seen the Gboy but you know better than me how buying them isn't easy. The Ashida seems a bit hard, correct me if I'm wrong.

My tips are to triple check all of the components you need before you buy them or you'll end up with tons of shipping fees, work in an extremely well lit area, and to have a good magnifying glass to check your work.

Thanks, those are pretty specific.

Thanks, those are pretty specific.

Guess I would add that you should check operation of your project after every step. You never know where you went wrong if you do too much at once.

I am working on starting my first wii portable and I am building the g-wii. Any suggestions on what guides I should follow or a list of parts needed to start
