I know this is a bit of a different animal, but this is reminding me of a 6 in 1 Sega Genesis mini console I had growing up. I always thought it'd be neat to try and make like a portable version of it. That said, I think the idea of having this console's video feed accessible locally via...

@fluffypenguin covered just about all the bases, but I did want to add that you should really shield the GC Player 1 data line. The Ashida is a very noisy build in general, and the controller inputs can cut out on that line if you don't shield it. I would also recommend experimenting with...

4LayerTech's website covers modding the screen for 3.3v here. This covers power and ground points. The wiring for video itself is really self-explanatory as it's silk screened on to the back of the driver board. The Wii end of the video wiring can be found in The Definitive Wii Trimming Guide...

Gman gave me permission to share it, so I posted it here since it's more on topic. Enjoy!

I saw someone on the forums asking for the file for the Gboy stand, and after digging extensively on the forums, I wasn't able to find it anywhere. I remember @Gman sending me the stand file on Discord a few years back, and I was able to find it in my file system after a bit of digging. I went...

The files for the Ashida stand/holder can be found in this thread. I don't think the files for the Gboy stand/holder are public. I do have the file for it, but I wanna ask @Gman if it's okay to share it.

You sir have chosen violence... Joking aside, I think this has high potential! The way this mod is made, it should be real easy to stretch it out and add a keyboard in place of the screen. The back end is almost entirely flat though, this was done to accommodate the cartridge slot which...

Just got done watching your showcase video. This is such a cool project! I really love what you did with the passthrough! Has so many cool features and it's really wild how you expanded upon it and took this project so much farther than anyone expected! Hoping you do well in the contest man!

It's good that your trim resistances look good, but I will say that the edges of your trim still look rather jagged. The edges are supposed to look smooth like this: You don't need to round your corners or anything, but you really do need to sand until the edges are smooth. Most people start...

It's so cool seeing a portable PC handheld like this! Love the trackpad integration and everything! I remember theory crafting something similar to this using a Raspberry Pi and Linux, but it's really wild to see a full on Windows 98 machine handheld like this! So cool to see you figure out...

Not every day you see such a good clean franken case like this! This and the PS3 portable definitely have my votes! I think you two will place high!

He's doing a wonderful job as a stand-in for the community who'd also be stopping you from using hot glue.

No, don't! You have so much to live for! Joking aside, I'm so glad you've found the time and are having fun with this build! I can't wait to see what comes next! These types of builds always hit different from 3d printed builds these days.

I'm just waiting for you to finish this in 3 days and then dig everyone's graves with it. Joking aside, I love these old GBA case portables! Looking forward to seeing this come together in the not so distant future. Loving the Ashida audio PCB you just cut in half too lol.

Time for another update! I got most of the schematic together, and I decided it was best to start putting the PCB together so I could use it as a checklist for the few remaining things left over on the schematic: It might not look like much has been done on the PCB end of things, but I...

Adapter and micro SD card compatibility with the Wii is a bit spotty. Glad it was a simple and easy fix!

It looks like you don't have a file system connected to the PD, but I'll assume that's just the picture. Your USB Data positive and negative wires need to be short and twisted tightly in order to work. Your wires look like they might be a bit long and also maybe a bit loosely twisted...

Interesting, I should open my Louii back up and see if doing this fixes it. I'll also send @Gman a message letting him know about this.

It's time for a mini update. The AVE section has mostly been mapped out now on the schematic: This schematic has been a lot less work than I was expecting. I know I've still got quite a bit to do, and I've been moving at a snail's pace because I haven't had the motivation, but this really...

The diagrams I've found online tell me that the line on the cart slot side is labeled as CSync or VID_CLK, so the line itself is probably a video clock line for syncing the timing of the video signal. If you want to know which line gets connected to it, on Rev 02-04 boards (and most likely rev...
