Coming, not here yet. If you want to build a portable now please read any of the other 10 posts I’ve just replied to you with

DIY kits are coming for certain models, but you will still need to be able to follow heavily technical instructions and do careful delicate work in order to assemble one. It’s not that building a portable is hard, it’s just that building one as your first major DIY electronics project is...

Then you need to research more and figure out what the guides are saying before doing anything else. If you’re having a hard time understanding a majority of what the guides are trying to convey you will have a very very difficult time building a portable.

No one is going to hold your hand through making a portable. It’s a long and daunting project to many, but the most important component is the research portion. We can tell you exactly what you need but when all of these parts show up to your house you’ll have no idea how to use them because...

We’d actually prefer if you didn’t. One because you said it yourself, you don’t have experience so you really won’t know what goes on the BOM, but two and more importantly the BOM outdates itself quickly because links expire and the portablizing meta changes rather quickly. We would rather...

Wii G

Sure, as long as you don't go outside of this area it will be fine.

Joysticks in the GameCube controller use the "traditional" 10k potentiometer. 3DS sticks don't and have a smaller range than GC sticks, so it affects the range you're able to move the stick. If you open an app like Visual Controller Test on the Wii it'll show you how far the sticks "move."...

Not without a converter board, no. The 3DS sticks don’t have the range of the joysticks that the GC controller was designed to use so they won’t work well on it. GC+ accounts for this by letting you set the range of your sticks. If you want to use the 3DS sticks with no extra hardware then GC+...

There is no step by step guide on how to build a portable. There might be in the future at some point, but even then each build is different so the instructions won't be able to be followed 100% to the tee. Your best bet is to read the rules for the forums and read through all of the guides and...

Damn looks nice man. The trigger setup looks pretty flat from the inside, are you going to try and fit 4 battery cells inside or only 2?

It's been some time since the 2019 Summer Building Competition has ended. Now, we want to give you an extended look at just how the winners of this competition became victorious and how they placed where they did. We had 83 votes in this year's contest. A new record for community engagement...

Please stop bumping old threads.

There’s an exploit that was made available just recently that allows for homebrew on the Wii mini. But as cheese said when the relevant part of this discussion ended, we will not support the Wii Mini as they are harder to come by than a normal Wii and far less of them were made meaning that...

Damn, this is looking killer so far. I've always wanted to make a Pi portable but never really got around to it. Maybe now that the 4 is out I'll finally have to check things out and see what I've been missing out on. So as of late whenever I print a case in a solid color, I've found that wet...

Wow, this is awesome! Great job!

lol

Fixed. :D Looks great so far! Can't wait to see where it goes!
