radicalplants' Unnamed Wii Portable
This portable is going to built off a modular pin header system that will allow multiple different interfaces to be used with the same module which will consist of the main Wii board only. It shouldn't take more than a VGA 20 pin header to achieve this. However I also may go with the standard integrated 'all in one' design that most portables use.
This 3D case design as made with the 'digital frankencase' method. Basically I like to merge models and then 3D print them rather than frankencase and wait for the parts to dry. Other case designs may include an ASCII GC Controller based unit (ugh frankencasing ☹) or a one based off an Atari Lynx II model or an SL57 from polycase.
I have two preconfigured boards to work with for making the modules. I have an OMGWTF Wii I commissioned @ShockSlayer for as well as an AlmostWTF GC I bought from @Gman last month. Also avalable to me are 5 uncut GC boards, 2 megadrives and 2 extra WASPs. So I can build a maximum of 4 module boxes if I even use that idea.
Right now I am waiting for materials to come in the mail. The next post will be a course of action on how I'll attack this project. However right now at the top of the list is making my first case. I could use help deciding a case design, specifically scaling this model correctly for my slicer so that the buttons fit.
Here is an early picture of the board, what a beauty!
