This is looking pretty cool. A case like this probably makes the Xbox go from weighing as much as a car to like one Wii.
What adapter labelled "ATX to XBOX" is that?
I remember debugging it, but concluding that it just wasn't talking to the Wii for some reason. I'll look at it again, maybe I missed something. Unfortunately I'm going to school again which takes precious time away from me :(
But I'm convinced there's a problem with compiling using this...
Before the boards arrive, I thought I'd program and test the ESP32 and PIC32 which are part of Jackson's BT replacement system. I tried to do this almost a year ago, I got Jackson to help me through the process, but eventually determined I'd fried something because no wiimote would connect to...
Where I live, some people also put them up for like 150EUR. But if you know where to look and with a little patience you can get 'em for like 5 or 10 EUR a piece. Would be a lot less painful for you I think
Looks good - good luck with your project! And by the way, I'm pretty sure the 6 layer NAND vias don't line up with the flex vias. That's another good reason to get a 4 layer, I don't know where you're from but in most places Wiis are pretty cheap. You could also manually wire up the NAND with...
Finally did a battery test with a trimmed Wii after a mouser order arrived and I could repair my PMS. Had to use a larger battery than I will eventually use, since I overcharged the correct one.. somehow.. :facepalm:
It ran for about 3 hours which is not too bad actually:
Compared to the...
Currently attempting to do this mod, board files have already been sent to the fab.
Installed the software side, which was kind of a hassle.. Currently switching screens using an extra button soldered to the ds. This'll be pretty cool if it works
Ayy good job! Looks good.
You could solder in a potentiometer in between the amp and the speakers:
You wouldn't be able to make it any louder than it is now, though.
All right, I'm probably spamming this thread too much but here goes:
I modeled part of the PCB, the IO board in kicad. The idea is that it slots in besides the cooler assembly and hopefully not get too hot...
Don't think I could've made the left and right spots any denser:
Needs some polish...
In a portable, ground is ground so you can just connect any ground spot to the VGA output. Also definitely use magnet wire or similar for those H and V sync pins. GL!
Welcome! You would need to unzip the isos firstly, then if it is running Portablizemii:

Thanks guys :)
You're completely right, that has been the hardest part about this project. I couldn't make it any thicker than 14mm since the Switch is 14mm which is pretty hard (18650 lipo is 18mm). That meant I had to find the thinnest battery that had a reasonable capacity, so I finally...
Finished the mechanical parts of the unit, it's designed to only need one type of 6mm screw. Everything that I wanted to fit fits now and it's surprisingly still just as thick as the joycons (14mm)!
Switch lens mounted:
Back plate is mounted with five 6mm screws:
I was concerned that 1mm...
Thanks :D I'm really not expecting much from the battery life for this one since the battery's so thin. Gonna try and set up a test tonight, what game do people use to test battery life? I'm thinking of using the MKWii title screen..
Well, they needed to be ~100mm in length and less than 10mm in height so I could exactly replicate the dimensions of the Switch body. The only other size I could find was 3mm, so I ordered two of those, making the height 6mm. Aliexpress sellers claim 5000Mah.. or 6000.. or 4000 depending on...
