Theres no way your gonna be able to make a portable with a full size motherboard, or maybe I'm wrong. But uh, don't chop up your actual wii! Buy a wii online and chop that up, you might make mistakes but that's how you LEARN.

Btw, you are in the wrong section, handheld is for gameboys and things that are already handhelds, you should be in the Wii section.

Something like this one would be more efficient, smaller, and higher quality than the wii2hdmi

And here is the wii trimming guide that has a section for the video and audio pinout, where you can find which pins to hook into to get component or vga out (vga only if you have softmoded the wii first with the rvl loader)

If you want to use the wii2hdmi, then you can look up those xbox guides to see where you are supposed to wire the component signal on the pcb, combined with the wii guide for where to get the component signal from the wii

I also agree that using a standard wii with only modifying the video out would be a bad idea for a handheld, one thing is size and weight, the other is power consumption, removing the onboard power delivery and using the RVL-PMS and RVL-PD instead will give you far better battery life and management.
(look at the other product on 4layer tech for things like the gc+ for a gamecube controller pcb and the u-amp for audio if you want onboard speakers and mini jack switching)

Following the trimming guide
or the g-boy guide
can give you some more confidence in making a more proper portable. Along with looking at the various build logs to see what others are doing.

And don't chop up your main wii, you can get relatively cheap wiis from your local craigslist or similar, or from ebay, just make sure you get a 4 layer one for better power consumption and to better follow the guides.

Just take things slow and carefully, with testing things along the way, like testing how to use a Dremel on something insignificant before you start cutting the wii.
Then you can get a far better handheld and learn a lot along the way

@MichaelEpicA Lol I didn't check the original date of the OP's post, it's old and irrelevant by a user that has not been active since February, please don't dig up and revive old threads, especially when you don't have anything relevant to contribute that will significantly help others. It's the second rule of this forum.
