Worklog The Shinii G-Wii

The Shinii G-Wii​

it might be a bit too early in development to warrant starting a worklog, but i've been conceptualizing and ordering parts for building
a modified G-Wii! (full credit to gman for the original design)

features in common with a regular G-Wii:

- full gamecube buttons and sticks (wired to gc+ 2.0)
- USB-C charging and internal drive (from the BitBuilt store)
- standard OMGWTF trimmed wii
- 4x 18650 batteries
- 5" vga screen

Shinii features:

- prints from a professional 3d printing website (allows for more tiny details like letters)
- hidden ir sensor bar and battery indicator rgb led (if i can make it work)

here are some 'renders' :

(the gamecube buttons are only here for demonstration)

as you can see, most of my changes are aesthetic, but I have high hopes that it'll end up being really slick if I can fully realize all my plans.

PS: I'm mostly making this log to keep all my stupid questions in one thread, and it'll be a while until i've gathered all the necessary parts to really start building.

alright so I was already on the fence about adding ir leds since they'd barely be useful, but now that bluetooth is optional with bbloader, lemme tell ya...

(seriously a game changer, I was dreading those two microscopic fuckers)
