Hi there,
After log putting of the creation of this log, partially due to shame and laziness I am finally creating one.
This project started with the a video showcasing the Wii SP. Since I saw that I fell in love with portable consoles. They are just perfect, the community is awesome, the consoles are awesome and the learning opportunities are awesome.
I those to go for a modified gWii, the main reason for this was the fact that it would safe a lot of time not having to design a whole new Wii and the gWii just looks awesome.
There are a couple of features that are tested and fully working on the table. For most of them the 3d model is not done jet. These features are:
The stuff that is already done:
The 3d model
The internal stuff that is done:

There are a couple of features that are tested and fully working on the table. For most of them the 3d model is not done jet. These features are:
- A open source BMS for plug and play charging and overall niceness
- A 16:9 screen
- "normal" (non Nintendo) ABXY buttons
- "normal" (non Nintendo) Joysticks
- A Wii controller DPAD
- A original Wii adapter as charger
- A PAM8403 for headphones
- Bluetooth audio
- Multiplayer via a dongle or Bluetooth
- A build in Raspberry pi for more retro games
- A connect that can interconnect the consoles so that, if my friends have a portable wii to, we can have a multiplayer experience.
The stuff that is already done:
The 3d model
The internal stuff that is done:
- The screen part is fully working, the driver board is also modded so that there is no voltage regulation internally.
- A Wii is trimmed with a OMGWTF trim
- I bought a BMS from the store (my own attempt failed miserably)
- I have a cut up Wii controller which can be used as a PCB for holding the DPAD in place
- A GC+ is also made and soldered
