    Question I need help with some things!

    All non-mini Wiis have native YPbPr, and are capable of VGA output with the VGA patch on RVLoader. VGA is common on display driver boards, but YPbPr is not. Chances are your driver board is not capable of accepting it, as is the case for the vast majority of current driver boards. This is why...

    Question I need help with some things!

    Not much current is passing through the speaker, so you don't need thick wire. 22-30awg should be fine. For composite, just wire up the single composite video wire and ground; details for the wii are in the wii trimming guide, and for the display driver board it should be labeled with a...

    4" 640x480 IPS LCD Investigation (RG40XX)

    Great news, this is such a good display! How's the lamination? Is it larger than the panel frame or smaller than the panel frame? Hard to tell from the photos. Would love to be able to mount it from the inside rather than adhere it to the outside.

    Concept Idea: An All-in-One Wii Portable Carrier PCB?

    Funny enough, we have been working on something just like that for a while. It integrates basically everything you mentioned (minus GC+, which is optimal to have on its own board) plus more (like undervolting) on a single board, designed to fit on everything from the most basic trim to the most...

    Worklog G-Wii Rebuild Project (The RepairMii)

    This is excellent! Great job on those pcbs, it really cleans things up. I second what cy said about brass inserts; they are game changers. I dont think I will ever do another 3d printed build without them.

    Question Shoving extra batteries into an Ashida: could it work?

    I used to be all for stuffing the biggest battery I could in a portable, but my perspective has really changed in the past few years. The heavier a portable gets, the more uncomfortable it becomes, especially for prolonged play. What has really changed my perspective to smaller internal...

    Release Sega Saturn cdx

    This man will not rest until he puts a Sega Saturn in every possible form factor imaginable. He will invent a whole new dimension just to have more room to put all the processors. Crazy work as always dude. Love it.

    Question Wii GCVideo Analog Options

    So the first, major thing you should do is make sure you have deflicker off. That will substantially increase the sharpness of the picture. You can force it off by forcing video mode to NTSC (or PAL) in nintendon'ts settings. Its also worth noting that basically every single analog to digital or...

    Question Custom SteamOS handheld on a budget ?

    I think you are going to have a very hard time making one for that low of a price. The steam deck itself is sold at a, in Gabe's words, a "painful" price point; which means either low margins or lost money on every sale. They are working at crazy economies of scale to get the price low, and are...

    Worklog [2024 Contest Entry] PS Pocket

    I think you should step back and look at what you accomplished here. A hobbyist designed an impressive, hand-assembled project that integrates a product of your design into it. Clearly this is a hobbyist doing this for fun, and not someone who sells products; sourcing playstations at scale to do...

    Silent Fan for Gboy Rev 3

    If the issue is caused by PWM, why not skip using fan pin altogether and simply connect the fan either directly to one of the many power rails the Wii utilizes? Or if all the rails push either too much or too little current, utilize either a series resistor or a dedicated tiny linear regulator...

    Question VGA issue on Ashida portable Wii – image turns green when all colors are connected (help)

    Check the load resistors around the AVE. You make have knocked one loose. If I recall correctly, supposed to be a resistor to ground running from the green line to properly attenuate it the signal. You can find which one it is specifically by checking the compendium and following the green line...

    I am unsure, haven't looked at the inside, but it would be very expensive
