I recently discovered this forum and I find it really fascinating how small the Wii mainboard can be cut and still work, and how many features people manage to cram into their Wii portables.
Most of the portable builds include making a custom case for the build - but would it theoretically be possible, or has someone even tried, to use a WiiU Gamepad as a case for a Wii portable? Can the screen be used by the Wii with some driver board or would it be necessary to rip it out and put a standard Composite screen in the gamepad?
Is there actually enough space in the Gamepad to fit a cutted Wii, some battery, and the included screen and buttons and such?
If not, could one 3D-print an extender of some kind that could be placed in between the glossy and non-glossy parts of the Gamepad to extend its height a bit to allow for some more room?
I think such a portable would look really awesome, even if one needed to 3d-print a black riser to increase the thickness of the gamepad.
I have never built a Wii portable and I will definitely start with an easier portable (if I do so), but if this "gamepad portable" is possible it would look really cool.
Has anyone done that before? Can the screen, touch, buttons, possibly even the charging circuit and battery of the gamepad, be used for the Wii? I've looked around on this forum but I haven't found a Wii portable inside an actual WiiU gamepad.
