This has been a long time coming but here it is folks:
This flexible PCB combines the goodness of NAND, Wii's GPU signals and the U10 in one package. It also has breakouts for GameCube controller 1/2 data lines with pull up resistors, MODE pin pullup solder bridge pad and USB/Bluetooth data lines as well.
Its primary goal is to reduce the mess of magnet wires in portables and to make the Wii as something of a removable module that can be reused without resoldering when you want to upgrade your portables in the future.
I decided to release this as open source hardware since i haven't been able to find a good way to sell this. Here's the Github repo for the KiCAD source files:

Special thanks to:
@StonedEdge for the unwavering support over the course of my journey into this modding scene.
@kent for the help with the fabrication and my commission to him of a custom AVE-HDMI module and for double checking my designs as well (man that NAND power rail screwup was really hard to find haha).
@Aurelio for his deep insights to the Wii's internal workings and helping me with the necessary dimensions for the spacings of the NAND vias.
@YveltalGriffin for his guidance from his experience with the AVEFlex. It was a great inspiration to me as well.
and to @Gman for the encouragement of me finally posting this thing after half a year, and to his patience to my incessant ramblings
And yes, we've only just begun
