Hey, I finaly took the time to recase my project so,... there's a few pictures. Features: 5" 4/3 screen 2x 3400mAh 18650 batteries (2-3 hours of battery life) Wii PMS and UAmp MicroSD slot I wanted to try something hinged for this project. I used a DSLite hinge with the original piece...

I don't know much about glass, but if it is not tempered, could'nt you grind it?

Yes.you just need to do that.

Well, I've never done ps2 modding, but I read there were some compatibility issues with vga and the PS2, the screen would have to support it. Anyway, here is what I had to do to use 5V.

Yeah, that's a nice idea, I guess I could harvest the parts from the bluetooth module I bought to make something more compact. I never designed a pcb before, I'll see I got the motivation to get into it.

Hello, these are picture of the board, keep in mind that it is quite tick. It is easy to conver to 5v tho. I've moved the capacitors with wires on mine to gain a bit of thickness on mine and it is working fine.

This is really nice. The only thing that I could say is to try it in a case, because when the cable are flying it is quite nice but when you close it you sometimes discover that you would need some shielded wires.

Hello, I tested it extensively and I love the clamshell design, especialli with this 4/3 tn panel that have far from perfect view angle. I have an issue: the single dslite hinge is not enough. I will use a blocker to keep it open. But if I move it would be closing. I guess I'll have to use some...

Hello, I bought that to put in my portable. measure: 35x15x1.5 Have not measured to see if it would work with 3v3 yet. It can certainly be trimmed, but is not that small. It is quite cheap tho and the sound quality is not bad...

Hello, I gues you are already doing it, but have you try to debug it using the pickit, doing step by step to see the values. The thing I could see is that the reference is the middle of the pot, but since the switch joystick one does not seem to have one I don't know how it would be possible...

Can't help you much, but have you tried with another screen?

Hello, It has been a while, but I have a working prototype, it is quite confortable to play and well balanced. However, I'm not entirely happy about the design, so, any advices would be welcome. It is quite bulky due to the driver board of the screen and the gamecube buttons, but I cannot do...

Well, since it is L21, I guess it would mean that it is an inductor. I guess this is a step down regulator from 5V to 3v3 or maybe a transistor, you would need more knowing person than me. My take is you should test if you still have 3v3 on the pin and if not, maybe taking of the component and...

Hello, There is some improvement in my design. I now have a working hinge. It is a DS lite one, I cheated a little by using an oem part. I have a question for the clamshells makers: Is magnetic wire sturdy enough to be in a hinge? Or should I use some multibraided wire (ie: an old usb...

That looks good! I had some issues with the joysticks when the gnd cables were to long. You could try to calibrate the joysticks with the GC+ calibrator soft in BBLoader. You can change the window to get the homebrews in the config file of bbloader. There is also an issue that a guy had with the...

My bad, I should have check my infos, thank you. To be a bit more explicit, you would need to either bridge the 2 pins on the U3 (enable and vin pins, could be done on any regulator, but easier on the boost one), or put 5v on the resistor near the PIC (could be found on top of C26 ie).

Actually, I guess you could just short the on pins without removing any components, it should work out of 12V(since it is needed for sound/wii2hdmi/sensorbar), but it has to be tested. Would be nicer to reprogram the PMS however.

That's a good idea, thank both of you, I was thinking of the Nintendo SS, since it's single screen, but something tells me that the name is not ideal. Maybe I'll do that if I don't manage to use the 3DS hinges. it may be quite easier, although I would need a locking mechanism when it is...

Hello, I am doing a new portable wii. This time it will be a clamshell. I ordered different sorts of hinge, for a notebook and eepc, but they are quite big. I plan to use some 3DS xl ones, but they're the last one to come. The screen I will use is the 5" screen from the store. For now this is...

I guess that it would be way easier to insulate a cargo trailer. What I was thinking of was insulating a regulat RV trailer with non rigid foam, since the ones I've looked at have really thin wall, but it would be way harder for it to look good in the end. I've only done a light insulation for...
