I'm in :D. I like the idea of it being something custom. It wouldn't have to be, but we are all modders. Most of my ideas for "small" projects can be done for under $50, but I'm open to whatever budget you guys want.

If it doesn't flash when using the normal cable, it's probably the converter. They're known for being iffy.

Gman's BOM. It's the one we all refer to for parts

I'd just get the laptop then. The whole point of a portable is that it's a custom setup that is fully compatible and is made to fit the user's needs in terms of size and button layout. If you just want to emulate games, I'd put your money towards a laptop since it can do other stuff as well. If...

The wii is the cheapest part of the portable :P I usually pick them up for $5-10, and shipping is barely worth that. It's the battery, regulators, screen, buttons, Bondo, epoxy, paint, speakers, amplifier, tact switches, etc, etc, etc that add up the cost. What is your budget?

I believe there is no better way to learn things than fixing stuff. It's super cheap, plus you get all sorts of consoles out of it. It teaches you about all sorts of electrical components, how to use a soldering iron, the importance of organizing your small parts, and it's practical knowledge...

Bridging is connecting two points. In the case of a fuse, you check for continuity between the two sides of the fuse using a multimeter or ohmmeter. If they are continuous (connected), your fuse is good. If not, you can use a tiny wire to bridge (or reconnect) the two sides of the fuse.

I love this! I notice that the c buttons actually slide into the dock. Does the dock have a space there fore them? I could see them catching fairly easily. I love your work so far :) keep it up

Hi :) welcome to the modding scene! There are some things that you won't know you need until you get there, but there are some things you can buy up front. -At least one wii console. You probably want a four layer wii since they are all around more effecient. All non white wiis are four layer...

How many amps is your power supply giving it/ how many does it need? I found that if my gcp wasn't getting enough current it would do something similar to popping. Edit: also, did you sand the edges of your board really well after trimming? If you didn't, the edges could be shorting something.

Revision: RVL-CPU-40 Serial Number: LU12224897-7 Color: White I've looked over the table again and it seems like all of the white LU1... consoles that are six layer start with LU10 or LU11. LU11 can also be four layer, but so far all of the higher numbers like LU12 or LU15 are four layer. So...

You don't know hard difficult regular wire is to use until you have used enamelled magnet wire. It's a lifesaver.

Customizing your console can be a very enjoyable project, but involves a lot of experimentation to find what works for you. This guide is going to go over some basic knowledge of types and brands of paint in order to help you decide what to use for your project. Paints: One of the most...

After spending countless hours building a portable and working on your case, the final step before assembly is painting. A good paintjob goes a long way in making your portable look nice, so it can be frustrating when your paint doesn’t come out right. Hopefully this guide will help with finding...

I have recently started on a Wavebird controller project that involves dissecting and documenting the circuit board. I have ammassed some useful information that I hope others can use as well, so I'm posting everything I have so far. I will keep the link and images up to date, since I'll still...

Your movie education is seriously lacking XD (My big fat Greek wedding)

Do you mean the shell/housing for the console or a case for it? IIRC I checked the dimensions of my fat psp and an OMGWTF trim wouldn't fit. I don't remember if I checked the LMAO trim.

Wow, you've been hard at work haha. Lookin good! Thanks for sharing :)

Yep they're different. This fits the non-xl buttons.

This is my design for holding 3ds buttons that I used in my Wii S Lite. The files are in Sketchup (sorry :P) but they're there if anyone wants to use them. The buttons are for the original 3ds, not the XL, and are made to work with the circuit board for the DPAD. There are screw posts for it...
