You can reach out to Gman for him to commission you a print if you want to build a WiiVision (the case is not open sourced). Apart from that, you’ll need a madcatz controller, 4 lithium cells, headphone jack, DC port and various types of wire just to name a few.

I’d take a look at the other WiiVision builds on the forums, as well as the Gboy guide to get a good idea for general portablizing parts you’ll need. Good luck!

Nobody is going to spoon-feed you all the information. You'll need to spend time looking through other users threads and researching what others have done to learn what you'll need.

I completely understand that but I didn’t want people to “spoon-feed” but I just wanted to make a complete list of all the parts because I don’t really know all the electronics that go into it and just to let you know it’s says I might have just joined today but I been on this website looking through many work logs.

Here is my current BOM. I can't guarantee its correctness as I am still in the process of building mine.

While BOM and lists of needed goods are nice, it's important to also realize that there there are many different approaches one could take.
You said you've started to look at work-logs that others have posted - that's good! It's nice to learn what mistakes to avoid, tricks, etc. from others without having to risk your own hardware.
I'd also strongly recommend you go through any list of materials you collect and understand the reason behind the parts. Why stranded core vs. solid core wire? What is magnet wire? What the flux is flux and why is it used? You get the idea.

Best of luck starting out your portable and make sure to read the guides thoroughly. There's a _lot_ that can be learned.

We either make them ourselves by designing the pcb, ordering the connector, and soldering it. Or @GingerOfOz might still sell his

Brother you need to chill out on spamming in the forums (posting multiple threads/double posting instead of editing the previous post. Just a breathe and read up and look on different threads. You can contact people pretty easy by looking at the, "members" section (click their profile name and "start a conversation" button). But as far as posting multiple threads asking different questions.. just compile all the questions you have and make ONE thread to ask questions or reach out to people. Heck, just make a worklog thread and ask in there. People are pretty chill when it comes to helping new people.
I am new to the forums as well, but you got to show people respect and actually do a little digging yourself. Not trying to offend, just keeping it real!

Good luck though! Look forward to seeing your portable! I am still struggling with my N64 portable, but still haven't had a ton of time to work on it. The struggles of adulting I'm afraid!

You spammed when you made 3 posts in a row, this is against the rules. Use the EDIT button to organize the thread rather than many posts one after another.

Yes. People are willing to help but edit your current post rather than posting 3 times in a row in the same thread. This prevents the forums from becoming clogged up. Someone will reply, you just need to be patient.

You need some kind of audio amp. The U-AMP is probably best since it works with the headphone jack for the WiiVision out of the box.
