Fantastic update, keep up the amazing job!!!

For the black bars you would need to have a custom GCVideo firmware that properly scales horizontally, but that requires knowing FPGA coding. I am wondering if some of the RVL_DD code could be back ported to GCVideo? Also, will you be testing with the Hollywood-2 chip directly? I am asking...

Very impressive work! I like that you decided to natively support GCVideo, works well for regular Wii as well as a portable Wii with a drive board supporting HDMI. Keep up the great work!!

I also suggest using a laminated IPS screen for a professional finish, like MP3 is using for his 3-Wii: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/3-wii.5104/ You can get it here...

Excellent design, I just love the DMG form factor, looking forward to your updates! Why not push the design just a tad further with a DMG-like power switch, volume analogue wheel and contrast wheel?

Great progress and super interesting info on the Hollywood-2 GPU, looking forward to learning more from your findings!

Good luck on your endeavor! 3 Wii motherboard recreations for portables, this is definitely the best timeline! I really like your approach using GCVideo and HDMI, it offers plenty of options for customization directly at the source I’m sure it’ll look great.

I second that, I think laminated screens is definitely the way to go for a professional finish! Looking forward to seeing your progress! Do you have an RVL_DD from the original run? Also originally it only worked with bigger panels than the 3.5 inches.

Truely a work of art, the Sistine Chapel of Wii portablizing. Fingers crossed you get the issues ironed out!

Thank you for keeping us updated! I think you are attempting a real first in the history of Wii portablizing, super exciting! In bocca al lupo!

Wow this is top notch work! I really enjoyed the video, very didactic and also pleasant to see that even though some X360 boards died and the chip shortage is awful, you keep on making progress!! Looking forward for the next update keep it up!

Wow great work! This paves the way to all-in-one Wii portables PCBs, potentially a new era for portablizing. Keep us updated!

Thanks for your reply. That definitely worked a lot better, by using a hobby knife. I also looked at GingerOfOz' Wiiboy color build video where he scrapes the audio vias to mimic his moves. It's always great to have examples you can follow. For those interested here is the video timestamped:

Hi, I have a Wii mother board with most of the vias covered with solder mask. I’ve been practicing on unused vias to scrape away the solder mask and try to tin them. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get the hang of it, as out of 4 vias I have tried tinning, only one worked out. Here I scraped two...

Incredible work! The real thing has surpassed the render IMO. In the video you show the GameCube startup video, do you have a custom RVLoader running?

Awesome worklog! Really inspiring stuff!

Excellent work! I really dig Game Boy styled portables they look the best IMO. Great job on the multicolor N64 logo, it looks incredible! Where’s the L button? Do you have a size comparison pic with a Game Boy or a GBoy? Looking forward to reading more on the design process

Awesome video! They keep getting better after each project. Congrats!

Nice job! Really like what you did for the L and R triggers. You should post this on the Gameboy reddit and the Gameboy discord! One question though, does the audio hiss/noise cleanup work make a real difference? I am contemplating doing this mod as well. Also, how does it compare in thickness...

Pretty impressive mod! How do L and R feel with respect to the original ?
