Thanks Stitches. That worked.

Hey! I have another question/update. I got the 4-layer Wii for $24, and it came today. I got the homebrew launcher and RVLoader. For RVLoader, I patched out wifi and enabled VGA because I want to use the 4layertech screen. After I installed RVLoader, I got a black screen. This is what I was...

Your experience was probably the same as mine when I got started. If you want to learn, start by looking at the Definitive Wii Trimming Guide, and that will explain how a trimmed Wii motherboard works. You might not want to trim from what you are saying you want to make, though. You can also...

Check out the The Definitive PS2 Trimming Guide. That will explain a lot of stuff. For the materials 4LayerTech will have some stuff, but most of that is for Wii portablizing. In general, you will need the same stuff: a battery, screen, speakers, controls, etc. Also, make sure to read a lot of...

Okay, after a while, I got most of the controls working! I was able to solder wires to points on the board for push buttons, and I was also able to do it with the joysticks. This works. Here is an image: I need to figure out something for the triggers though. Is there a way I can do a...

Hi guys. I have another update. The buttons and the breadboard arrived, so I started working on the controls. I haven't soldered it yet, but I put them in for the D-pad. I'll do this for the ABXY also. Then I'll solder those to the board. For the joysticks I'll desolder them and reconnect...

Can you send the link?

I have another question. I have a 6-layer Wii, so would the Wii trimming guide still work?

OK here are some updates. 1. I came up with a name for it, the WiiCube (because it is like a GameCube but also because it really is a cube) 2. I made a design of the case. Here is a picture: 3. I have decided to use the GameCube controls. I got a breadboard and some buttons, and they are...

Ok, got it.

Thanks a lot! The advice is super useful, I've never did this before.

Okay so I still have a lot more questions for my Wii portable, so I'm going to post some here. 1.) I'm not trimming the motherboard of the Wii, but I want it so that the Wii will turn on automatically when there is power making the power button obsolete. Is there a way I can do this in...

I have another question, and this is for VGA output on the Wii. I found the 4layertech screen, but I couldn't find any documents for the soldering. I am curious where the wires need to go, so can someone send a link or attached file of the wiring document. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I think I've decided what to do. I practiced some soldering and was able to make the buttons connected, so I think I'll do what I said I would in the first post.

Thanks Stitches, that's what I was looking for.

Hi again! I have another question for my portable. I'm wondering how to set up speakers. My plan is to get speakers like this. My question is where do I solder them to? Also do I have to get some sort of board to control it for the Wii? Thanks! [EDIT: Don't get these speakers. I was trying to...

Thats great to hear!

Thanks, GameCube4Life! I looked through the settings, and date/time isn't there. It's probably in the RVLoader config. I'll look more later once I get my controller back together.

Wow, Shank! Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it.

Thanks for replying. I got a Wii2HDMI convertor for testing on my monitor and decided to just use it. Also, thanks for the info on the ABXY buttons. I thought that maybe they have 4 inputs because they looked a bit different. You're right about getting the GC+2 and working from there. I'll look...
