Hello guys,
I am currently planning on building my first Wii portable with a MB trim.
After hours of research in the forums I began to make a list of parts to buy. I don't want to waste money by buying parts that won't work toghether, therefore I wanted to ask a couple questions before buying.
1. If a trim the motherboard and use custom regulators, I need a screen with 5V input. This (https://www.ebay.de/itm/Mini-5-LCD-...3f39a7026:g:mgYAAOSwkfxb9AzL&autorefresh=true) is the only 480p 5V lcd I could find. Are there any better options? I read about modifying a 12V screen to work with 5V (https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/screen-for-wii-portable.2155/), but no one told exactly what to do.
2. After reading the battery guide (https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/portables-and-batteries-a-guide-and-explanation.2228/) I decided to use the recommended CMB (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intelligent...2S-Packs-18650-lithium-Satellite/311721987212). It says the input voltage is 9-15V. Is there any way to charge via USB or do I need a 12V power supply?
3. Does the CMB work with any 18650 lithium battery? For example, I found these 8800mAh batteries (https://www.ebay.de/itm/GPI-grun-88...375443?hash=item3cca423953:g:X-YAAOSwCY5dJHOA) which are much higher than the tested Panasonic 3400mah NCR18650B MH12210 (Green). Will these work or are there any downsides to this batteries?
4. I know that I should use thicker wires for voltage, ground... But do the other wires have to be a specific type or can I use the ones I have at home. I read something about magnet wires but did not understand their use case. What else should I consider about wires, since I do not want to relocate wifi.
I really appreciate your help and I am looking forward to your answers.
