I won't lie, this has me on the edge of my seat. Definitely a bold move cutting the shell in quarters like this. I'm going to trust the process though, I'm genuinely dying to see where this goes - I don't doubt this can be done successfully. It's safe to say I've never seen anyone take this...

I've got two updates for this thread: The first update is to do with international shipping. I recently had a customer in Canada that I needed to ship to. Shipping via UPS would've been around $70 while shipping via the U.S. Postal Service ended up being just over $40. Shipping...

Now that OpeN64 is finished, it's time for the fun part: Making cool stuff with it! After much deliberation, I settled on making a second revision of Cyxty Four for my first N64 AIO project. Cyxty Four rev 1's internals were okay at best, and downright unacceptable for modern standards at...

That definitely could be what happened. That's like rule #1 of electronics... You shouldn't solder to a live board...

Yeah... To kind of add to what Bubberiffic said here, N64 projects are more difficult and complicated than things like the Wii. I suspect you may have shorted some of the pins on your first board if you ended up killing it. These flexes aren't easy to solder, and I don't think it'd hurt to...

The silk screen already tells you where everything needs to go, but I made a diagram to make it even more clear: Where S goes depends on what motherboard revision you have. On Rev 01-04 boards, you can connect S to U4's 14th pin, or U5's 5th pin (either will work). Rev 05-09 use a...

I'm assuming you mean the PIF? And yes it would since the cartridge slot is no longer connected to the PIF with this flex relocation!

This actually isn't true. I've got Ashida and Louii builds with the IR receiver relocated inside the unit, and the remote works fine. I have to aim the remote at the bottom of the portable since the screen blocks the IR light, but it works really well even on my reflective blue Ashida! You...

Do you have any of the PIF connections wired? It doesn't look like you do unless you connected these after taking your picture. All of these pads need to have a wire going to a pin on the PIF or the CPU. I think there's one on the video chip too though I'd have to dig to find where exactly...

I didn't know there was a 5.6" 4:3 screen floating around out there. I'm interested in seeing how it looks in a portable. G-Wii wasn't designed with this screen in mind though, so your easiest approach is to hold onto it for a future project and a compatible 4:3 5" LCD. If you're interested...

None of the settings in these files transferred over into Prusa Slicer unfortunately. I imagine what you shared here is probably better than anything I could come up with seeing how it's done in a software more people use nowadays. Here's a screenshot of what Prusa Slicer came up with using...

Thank you! People say that newer printers blow the Prusa MK3S+ out of the water so I imagine you can probably do a lot better than this. I don't know of anyone else in the community right now who offers 3d print commissions. I imagine there's probably someone you could message who'd be happy...

Last I checked, there didn't exist a tree support preset for the Ashida. I think you'd have to manually brush on the tree supports in Prusa Slicer (or whatever slicing program you use). One of these days, if no one else gets around to it, I'll see if I can set up a working tree support...

As someone who's printed quite a few Ashida shells, I can safely say that the default settings in Wesk's published .3mf files work perfectly well. Here's a screenshot showing all the settings: You shouldn't need to set any of these yourself since the .3mf files should have these settings...

Thank you for the vote of confidence James! STEP RIGHT UP TheCATDoctor because CY has a DEAL FOR YOU! For just $40 (plus shipping) YOU TOO can have your very own G-Wii shell printed including all the 3d printed brackets, buttons and doohickeys your heart desires! Here's an Ashida shell I...

Wow this came out really nice! I'm always a sucker for custom art printed into the back of shells like this! The textured finish looks especially nice here, I can't even see any print lines on the front side of it! Has a super clean black and red aesthetic. Beautiful build all around!

What grit of sand paper did you sand up to? I like to start with 220, then go up to 500, and then hit it with 1000 for a bit. I think you can get away with up to 500 though. Also, it probably also wouldn't hurt to post pictures of your board. Either way though, based off your resistances, I...

If you had a short between your voltages or ground, you'd get 0 ohms of resistance between said voltages or ground. 1.8v is kind of an exception since it normally has a very low resistance between it and ground on the Wii. If you're worried about the layers being shorted anywhere, I would...

Thank you! This project was a ton of work, but I really wanted to do something like this after seeing some of the stuff that had been done on the Wii. It just felt like a really obvious project to me after I realized we can easily desolder and resolder the CPU, RCP, & RAM on the N64...

Truly a stunning and lovely build! So cool to see you've finally got one to call your own! Soldering looks really solid too! Great stuff dude!
