Welcome everyone :D Please don't hesitate to post if you have any questions!

So I had been out of town when my gift was delivered and unfortunately didn't get to open in until after the holidays as I was traveling quite a bit, however now that I've had time to open it and (totally didn't forget to post it) take some smexy pics, here's what I received from Santa! Not...

Thanks! GC+ 2.0 uses a new IC with built in pull-up resistors so the back of the PCB is complete barren. It also has a completely rewritten firmware which means Aurelio will be able to do far more with it and have an easier time keeping it up to date. Aside from that it includes support for LRA...

Thanks!! I plan to at least open source a version of the files. I'm not sure that the direct drive version would be possible for everyone due to the fact that it will require a custom flex that will be expensive enough as is to produce for the couple units I plan to build (a prototype to make...

Thanks :D I'm hoping it turns out well! Here's a test print I did a while ago to make sure all of my measurements were correct for the controls and screen with a GBA for scale. P.S. Everything fits!!

So, after nearly 4 years after Wii portables became a thing I'm finally ready and comfortable enough to begin work on a fully CAD designed portable of my own. Some of you who are active in the discord may have seen little teasers here and there of this project, but this is most likely where I...

I had never done any hardware modding when I embarked on my first portable project either. Granted, it did take me like 2 years to finish it lol, but nowadays things are a bit simpler than they were back then. As long as you're persistent you'll be able to make one. Honestly the thing that...

Unfortunately each build is unique so there will most likely never be a step by step guide for building a portable, at least not in the fashion I know most people would like to see. Things change far too quickly in this hobby for us to be able to keep on top of keeping something like that up to...

Great job reading the guides before asking questions. It shows you’re willing to try things yourself before immediately giving up and asking for a lifeline which we really appreciate around here. I’ll answer all of your questions as best I can. So the BT module doesn’t have any good points on...

Yes, I did get permission to sell it from @Gman. However, as Ginger stated, I would really advise not selling your first portable because it would be a horrible experience for both you and your buyer. Portables can be finicky with wiring, and if you don't have ample soldering experience odds are...

Google will be your friend here. Or take a look on eBay, Aliexpress, Digikey or Mouser. You will never be able to build a portable for under $100. It’s literally impossible unless you get most of the parts for free. Screens alone usually cost upwards of $40, and if it’s your first project you...

You can’t import an STL back into Fusion without it becoming a mesh model like you’re seeing there. Gman is kind enough to provide the SolidWorks files for the case so if you import those you’ll get both the correct sizing (when you import STLs I believe they’re 10x larger than normal) and the...

wtf i thought you said WiiBoy Color it's white 0/10 start over or paint it yellow :sexualfelix: Seriously though, looks great so far. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

There is no tutorial for assembling a WiiVision. The case files are also not open source so you'll have a difficult time getting your hands on a case for one unfortunately. However, The G-Wii is open source and it's a much easier build then the WiiVision since it's a little bit wider. Plenty of...

That's the one! No problem, yeah that's not too bad for the set in terms of price (the link above) but if you look around you might be able to find it slightly cheaper.

Uh, if you haven't wired up a Wii to see the difference you shouldn't comment lol. The Wii outputs 480P over VGA so it would look miles better than composite, not to mention composite will look like a "smear" filter has been applied over top of the image. Anyways, don't use this panel. It's got...

Hasn't taken place yet but it will very soon. I'll be posting details in a bit

Hi everyone, Sometime over the next couple of weeks I will be hosting a very special G-Wii assembly stream in which I will be putting together a G-Wii in a color chosen by the community. However, at the end of the stream when we have a completed G-Wii, I will select a random viewer from the...

This indicates there's still a short somewhere. What values do you get on the PMS with nothing wired to the Wii powering from just the batteries? That should help to shine a light in the right direction.
