This log is like having a first child for me. You can't have enough pictures lol!

Huge update today!!! Huge thanks to @Gman & @SparkleBear helping me troubleshoot/guidance! I took off the cap to the video driver board and connected the PMS 5V. Made sure all my voltage points were good on the Wii and did a test. Blue screen win! Then didn't realize this until later that I...

U10, SDW, & SCW (wiring) complete! VIAs are pretty difficult and time consuming for sure! Very happy though with the connections :)

Tested with a battery and the fan spins and the USB shows up on the computer!!! I've never been so happy and nervous to get some plastic moving around in a circle in my life ! I'm super pumped!

Got the fan all wired up.. and the 1v, 1.15v, 1.8v & 3.3v all wired up as well! Trying to use different colored cables to help me differentiate :). Coming a long slowly but surely!

Great job!

Looks great man. Love the 3D print. Nice work!!!

Drilled out the holes on the bottom of the case and got the button caps to fit! Not perfect but good enough for now. Wired up the PD board and got more to go but its progress :) @Ethan @SparkleBear @Cyframe You guys are the reason I have gotten so far! Of course along with all the amazing...

LDO removed! Was really satisfying to watch it slide off.

Alright! Update time! I got me and my wife's work desk in the office together and ready to start jumping on this G-Wii some more! Cut the board more on top and bottom to fit and made sure to stay away from important nand lines! Grinded LDO chip and will slide it off tomorrow with some solder!

Hey thanks! That is a super nice compliment but not sure if I could part ways with my first finished wii portable :). I will keep you and others posted though in terms of progress! Speaking of which here are some button caps to help keep all the tac switches matching with the white button theme!

Alright copy that. I will trim and make sure it fits with the batteries in that case and go from there. Thank you! Edit: Small update: Mounted couple of the boards.

Okay got ya. Thanks :)! Yellow is my favorite color.

Gotcha! Thanks :)

Sadly looks like no :(

Trim complete (Wii + MX Chip)! I went from 240 and worked up to 1000 grit. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions or if the cut looks okay!

That looks great! Awesome job. Looks just like the GameCube controller (but with a screen)!

I wasn't aware that you needed resistors for the G-Wii build (trying to make one now as well). What purpose do they serve?
