Hey folks! Back when I was doing my research into "soft shutdown" I created a couple of pinout diagrams for the Wii Bluetooth module and the MX23L4005 mask rom chip ("MX"). The MX pinout has been floating around Discord but I wanted to share these diagrams here for posterity. Edit...

WOW

Have you ever seen that old imgur thread where the guy keeps finding stuff in his thrift store GameCube? Well, that's what opening my secret santa package felt like this year! First up was a super nice soft-wall cooler - my wife and I had been planning on buying one of these as recently as last...

I had some things come up that meant I had to put a pause to all projects for a while, planning on picking this back up in the new year!

I never get bored of seeing completed GC Nanos, amazing build great work.

The headphone sense castellated pad (HS) on the RVL-AMP is directly electrically connected to the tip switch pad for the headphone jack. I’m not sure why you would need to add an additional wire here, unless you severed the trace between HS and the headphone jack somehow.

Can you post an updated photo of those wires soldered to the Wii and the RVL-Amp

You'll be soldering to vias on the Wii motherboard, use magnet wire. Edit: do you mean twisted magnet wire, like for USB? If so, no, just use 2 individual magnet wires.

Huge congratulations @Redherring32, you really set a new bar. Well deserved winner!!!

Also metal is pretty great for removing any light bleed

Excited for this one! That case is screaming out for anodized aluminum

Well folks, I'm calling it done! Presenting: The WavePhoenix Receiver, and the WavePhoenix+! I need to do some final GitHub repo cleanup, but I'm planning to make the repo public this weekend or early next week.

Bro save some projects for the rest of us!

This is absolutely incredible, a work of art

Looking good! I would fatten up those voltage traces, and make sure your decoupling capacitors are placed as close their IC pins as possible. @marhalloweenvt fun fact - the "no 90 degree routing" has mostly been debunked.

Update time! Lots of progress since my last post. Performance The performance is now pretty solid. The packet rate and range is comparable to the OEM WaveBird receiver. I still think there is a lot of room for improvement. Firmware Updating We now have support for firmware updating! The should...

Quick performance tuning update - I've managed to get the packets per second to an acceptable rate on the Series 2 SoCs! There is still a lot of tuning I want to do, but as of right now, I'm really close to the OEM performance in terms of throughput. It turns out I was wrong about this, the...
