    Question Trimmed Wii Won’t Boot RVL 40

    I do see a u10 wired to the wrong pin in the photo. Like the post above mentions it's a good idea when sanding to not sand flush the edge but adding a small chamfer carefully around the top and bottom, it helps to ensure the PCB layers are separated. The photo is from cropped your image you're...

    Worklog Wiide-Boy, 4.3" widescreen portable

    I couldn't keep my hands off.... I didn't feel like leaving it at composite. VGA patches on and wiring done. Thanks Benge for finding that pinout photo, I had failed to probe my RGB locations on the driver prior to trimming it. Kinda hard to take a clean photo of the screen but it looks great...

    Worklog Wiide-Boy, 4.3" widescreen portable

    Wiide-boy progress report: Trimmed and ready to play, almost still waiting on postal service. So far driver board for LCD is trimmed a bit smaller, had a mishap with hot air so one driver board is more or less toast. Wii composite is working, I'll have to get a controller port and usb added to...

    Worklog My first portable (PS2)

    I know it's been a while, to update my board ran fine and still is running well. So make sure all those voltage locations are connected from the guide and you'll be set.

    That's a good way to approach it, your design is very awesome.

    U-Amp wiring

    Might as well tie headphone sense pin to ground as well for the moment as you don't have a headphone jack connected, this will also help output to speakers. With what Ethan said above

    Worklog Wiide-Boy, 4.3" widescreen portable

    Been bouncing the idea around for a little while now of doing something like a g-boy inspired portable, my ps2 portrait portable turned out well in the end, chunky but working, so I inevitably ended up tackling the first bits of a Wii portable. Just concept phase currently with some hardware...

    U-Amp wiring

    So if you could can you post a photo of the connections from the audio amp on the PS2 and the wiring on the UAmp as well? No audio at all from analogue on the UAmp can be caused by a few things. The UAmp needs jumpers soldered, an input voltage on the ivdd pin and possibly the headphone sense...

    PS2 Portable, like an oversized gameboy

    I'd like to finally present my first portable adventure, a PS2 portable with built in raspberry pi SMB loading. This has definitely been an adventure and learning curve, originally I aimed to go simple and do a standard trim but as I figured out how to model and print my portable shell it...

    Worklog Ps2 portrait with pi smb

    So epic updates, unit is almost finished! Found sometime this weekend to do the finer details on the portable. RPi 3b is now hooked up and running on the 5v line, seems to run just fine with 30awg power lines. Ran into some design issues, so some minor Frankencasing happened with the rear led...

    Worklog Pi-Xel

    Love the design of your pi build, one question I had was your PMS mod. The 5v buck boost is that the one that is by default list on the BOM for the RVL PMS? I had assumed it would work but wanted to double check

    I really wasn't plannning on using i2s from the pi to the uamp, I was going to pull headphone audio out to the analoge on the uamp, it's been done plenty of times for the pam8403. Just keeping it simple.

    Worklog Retro Lite CM4 - A StonedEdge and Dmcke5 collaboration

    Thanks, I can't say about the rails from the 5v buck but the BOM lists a 5v 4a buck boost for the PMS, the 3.3 was to have the uamp analog added in. I believe the pi 3.3 rail was not adequate enough for larger power draw

    Worklog Retro Lite CM4 - A StonedEdge and Dmcke5 collaboration

    Just getting an opinion, aside from a decent amount of weight with 20000mah and being lots of energy, would a modified rvl Pms for 5v/ 3.3v and 10000mah be sufficient for running a pi 4 portable?

    Model BitBuilt Store switch breakout holders + Joycon Joystick holders

    In the event that someone is looking for an example in a portable, I've attached what I hope to build at some point, my alignment of the buttons is a bit off. I did add the tweak and update the joycon abxy model from the first post, less spin movement with the keyed buttons.

    Worklog The Two PS2p

    I can't say what would make a linear reg half dead but if you're not getting 5v that would definitely cause the system to not work properly. Those 2 capacitors that you circled are following the L/R audio channels from the amplifier to the original av port those won't affect power. That's why...

    Model BitBuilt Store switch breakout holders + Joycon Joystick holders

    I'll start off by saying thanks to the ones that made the PCB from the store these will be great in portable projects. This model I decided to make should help anyone using those style of PCBs, my cad skills are a bit limited so this was made in Tinkercad so I can only provide STLs. I know the...

    Worklog The Two PS2p

    So from the image that I can see of your trimmed mobo, I'd recommend double checking where your system voltage is coming in I'm assuming your 8.5v is that white wire, when I did the standard trim I had my 8.5v (and battery input) connected to this pad underneath, also white wire The split white...
