1/17/18 UPDATE:
I have completely rebuilt this console. It's the same shell, repainted with a new motherboard and cooling system. Pics
Original Post:
Here is my first wii portable. It was built inside of a hard ds lite carrying case and is about the same size as a dmg gameboy. The design is clamshell with 3ds buttons and a 5" composite screen.
On the back of the console, from left to right in the picture the ports go:
R, Z, usb 3.0 for component output with automatic switching and controller ports 1-3, switch to turn off the gc+ so player 1 can be outputted, micro usb charging port, switching headphone jack, usb ports for PM and wii u gc adapter, Start, L.
The power switch is on the right, the same side as a ds lite power switch. On the left are the battery indicator lights taken from a wiimote. The front has speaker holes for the stereo speakers in front. The L/R/Z/St buttons are actually a chopped up ps2 dpad and are surprisingly comfortable.
Inside it has a gc+ as well as the WiiHUD audio amp for full slider compatibility and volume changing through controller button presses.
The console has a built in sensor bar using IR leds in the shoulders, and Bluetooth for wiimote compatibility.
I use Testors spray paint for the paint job and I love the colors, although there are a few spots I accidentally touched with the soldering iron while assembling it. Whoops
Overall I think it is a definite improvement over my first portable. Here the two are together side by side for comparison.
Can't forget the internals
