Got an update on this project, and a bit of a cry for help. After taking the machine apart and looking at the screen, we realized that the screen was actually using a serializer on the RGB lines and sending 5 LVDS data streams to the screen. It was pretty easy to source an appropriate...

JacksonS measured pretty much all of the passives on the Wii years ago, Shank's super thread should help you identify most of them: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/threads/shanks-wii-super-thread.66/ Best of luck!

All right, a half booth has been reserved! Hope to see lots of you there

Hey all! There's been a bit of discussion in the Discord about hosting a meetup at Portland Retro Gaming Expo this year, so I wanted to set up something a little more permanent to gauge interest a little bit better. PRGE is happening between October 9-11 of this year. It's a big expo in...

Weird project I could use some advice on, so I figured I'd make a thread. Short version of the story is that I've got a tinkerer nearby who knows a decent amount about coding, but is clueless on hardware. He's working on modifying an existing keratometer to be more flexible, and run...

You're right, I bet Kamp spends all day kicking his feet and giggling thinking about how he made some progress on a shell and posted about it, solely to get negative attention from dickheads like you. You are not entitled to anyone's work or time. The fact that you see Kamp working on other...

Santa sent me some questionable Pikmin/Waluigi merch, an original PS1, and a Japan exclusive Pikmin terrarium! The terrarium was even the Bulborb one, which is probably the one I would've chosen given the chance. Thanks cyframe!

I dunno the angle, it was very steep. I did 0.08mm later height, top and bottom took a while to print, but I don't remember the times

Did you calibrate your joysticks in the controller menu of RVLoader?

Nobody's made a thread yet? Guess it's my turn. Every year the BitBuilt crew meets up at the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee. I missed the last couple of years, so I was really looking forward to making it back this year. This was the GingerOfOz POV for most of the event. I chilled next...

Ah, a couple of weeks, a couple of months, if you think in centuries they're basically the same. The process of modeling the crab took way longer than anticipated. The CAD work was a real challenge, but it was really satisfying to work out the issues with each piece. I ended up getting a...

I opened up my box to a mountain of various passives, a 6-layer Wii motherboard, and a micro-USB cable. Why a micro-USB cable? It must be for the PlayStation classic they sent in a nice carrying case! I'm tempted to turn it into a miniature crab, but I gotta finish the big crab first. And...

The "Playstacean" is a really cool art concept by the artist "AnhDangerous", and I've been obsessed with it since I saw it on Twitter a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, it only exists as pixels on a screen. And as an art print... and a shirt I suppose. But nobody with soldering and CAD...

Figured I'd ask here in case any of you hoarders have held onto some leftover components from the motherboards you've sacrificed for PSOne portables. I'm working on a reshell project for a PS1 slim and purchased a broken one for dimensions and such. I was able to revive it with some help, but...

Wait, are you on RVLoader 2.1? for whatever reason the audio gets cranked up to max in Wii games when you have the audio amp connected in this config.

You need to connect the volume up/down signals to the Wii as well when you use RVL-Amp. Volume maxes out in Wii games if you don't. Take another look at the 4-Layer Tech diagrams, one of them shows where to connect those lines.

Can't say for sure whether that trim will work, but it might if you do a really good job of sanding. Is there not a way to mount the Wii to the back of whatever case you're using? That way you don't put any weight on the screen

Is there a reason you aren't using the mounting points that already exist on the Wii's motherboard? Properly sanding small holes like that is pretty difficult to do

It's worse than you could imagine. People here pretend to be bad.
