Thanks for your reply! There is no 1v8 line going to the Wii, the pictures make it seem like it though for some reason? Anyhow, I tried shorting reset to ground and cleaning the flux off. Still a black screen.
I should have installed the ioses before trimming, jup. I'll definately do that for...
Whenever I try to boot up my trimmed Wii with a PMS, I get a black screen.
To power my board, I am using a PMS bought from the BitBuilt store which outputs the correct voltages on every voltage line. When I power on the PMS, I get 3.2v on pin 4 on U10. The bottom three pins of U10 are connected...
@Stitches, you are a goddamn genius. I looked at the controller board scans and noticed a trace going from the uh.. metal box component thingy at the bottom left of the board that I destroyed because I trimmed too much. That resistor you mentioned was actually connected to that metal thingy. I...
Jup, those pins are both GND. Shouldn't matter if they're shorted or not ;)
Not really, I just happened to have a spare controller and wanted to give it a shot.
Any more ideas fellers?
I'm having some troubles regarding my GC controller trim. I've managed to pull off a successful trim already, but one leg of the DOL-A chip broke off. So I just thought: no big deal, I'll just get another controller. I did the exact same thing with the new controller. This trim didn't go as...
Alright, I'll have a look if any of my Plus Wiimotes work with this setup. If I don't have a TVL one, maybe @JacksonS can share some info on how to identify different Wiimote revisions?
Or I might just scrap this idea entirely and wait for @Koksi_90 to release his PCB project.
You're kidding me! How do I know if I have a TVL wiimote? Is the model number TVL? And is there any way to bypass this? Maybe pull down the wiimote contacts to ground?
Anyway, thanks for mentioning this, it'll change a few things.
Only because you asked so nicely :)
But seriously, I was...
Thanks for your reply, Koksi. I really wanted a seamless way to switch from gc to wiimote to nunchuck, but it seemed too much of a hassle to truly make it really seamless, so I settled on using three switches; one to cut off power to the gc controller, one to cut off power to the nunchuck and...
That was actually a stupid mistake I made right at the beginning of the design and I didn't realize afterwards. Haven't put in the effort to change it until then :\
Probably should do that soon...
Everyone strap on 'cuz I'm back! And stronger than ever! Now with better software, better ideas and better tools!
I finally ditched Sketchup for Fusion 360 because it was becoming more and more clear that I needed something with more features and I was pleasantly surprised with Fusion. Despite...
What do you do when your top screen decides to just die? You rip it off of course! Saves some battery I guess. Pretty straight-forward mod, took me about an hour to do. Quite a few DS emulators will allow you to swap the emulation from the top to the bottom screen.
I've successfully managed to cut off the ground planes on the Wii mobo and it works just fine. I may end up trimming my board since space is becoming a concern now.
I've decided to ditch the SD card slot and dual USB ports for a single USB port. I'm kinda stuck on the power side of my portable...
I know a lot of people use this 128GB Samsung flash drive because of the great compatibility with Wii homebrew but I think the price is a bit steep and I don't think I would use all of the 128 gigs, I'd rather get the 64gb one. Has anyone used it with PortablizeMii before? It'd be great to know...
