Small update. Still no video output from the Wii at the moment. I have confirmed it "appears" to be turning on - CPU/GPU warms up. RESET pin is held high at 3.16V. Given it stopped working when I was testing switching between digital and analog audio, I suspected that maybe sending 3.3V to DP...

It's coming along great! Covet those orange squishies, they were discontinued years ago ha. I posted a worklog this morning that may give insight to how those other boards fit into a build

Hey all. Figured at this point I should create a worklog of the progress from the past 3 months of trying to revive a G-Wii project I shelved back in 2021 as it never felt as polished as I'd have liked. This time around, I went into the project with a number of goals to make the best possible...

I don't want to derail this thread of course - I'll post my KiCAD files and you're more than welcome to play with them.

Hey did you want some breakout boards for the controller side so you dont need to solder into plastic? I recreated the CAD files a couple months ago and got some made for my own G-Wii revival project. I'm in Melbourne too so happy to shoot them your way along with some orange squishy tacts if it...

Can confirm I have modded an NTSC-J with bridging a jumper to display the menu in English. Its my daily driver GC. I can't say for certain if it behaves identically to an NTSC-U, but it plays NTSC-U games and NTSC-J games. I can only imagine the boards are functionally identical and the language...

If you do plan to go down the Pluto route, this PCB allegedly make installation painless: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/q5lcDiDg I haven't done it myself, but plan to when I finally get around to giving the Pluto a crack.

In practicality sense, all the test pads for BT, USB, Voltage rails would be nicer to work with. In reality, getting to the point of the Vegas undermines the ease these test pads will bring :P But, pretty!

Loved the new video!

Not this is indicative that the actual board internals will be different, but the IO between the 2 models is very different

Awesome work! I really wanted to get of these off the ground, but have yet to get a successful NAND relocation to work. Was there any design reason for barrel plug over say Micro/USB C?

What thought have you given to the controller if any? Do you plan for now to just repurpose the existing controller ICs and PCB for logic?

Been following this for a while, and recently joined your FB group to grab the STLs and read other attempting this too. Really keen to try this out - just need to find someone with a printer with a bed size big enough to fit it :D

It's been successfully done by a number of members on the Gameboy Discord. I'd probably recommend reaching out to them to see if they're willing to assist. Otherwise, there is the easier method of trimming down a GBC board to fit into a GBP shell. There is a full tutorial on YouTube, and the...

If your dremel is arriving tomorrow, can I assume its the first time you will use one with any real experience? If so, don't let the Wii be the first thing it touches! Practice first on some scrap plastic, old PCB etc to get a feel of the cutting pressure before you potentially slip and gouge...
