    Your skills are really incredible from your video editing/entertaining videos to engineering the portable itself. Really impressive!

    Wii-C

    The Wii-C was intended to not be too complicated and to use some old parts I had laying around. It is complete and fully functional. Specs: - 5" 4:3 via VGA from custom relocated AVE Board - Digital Audio & Bluetooth Audio for Headphones - 10,000mah Lipos for 3.5 Hour Battery Life - Dual Z...

    Yes I have an interesting setup. I have the PMS V1 wired up fully inside the portable, and a PMS V2 wired externally just for testing temperature powered off the batteries and with SCL/SDA and T- and GND wired up. That's awesome you guys are working on the firmware!

    Wow 34C is nice. Wesk mentioned to me the Ashida is gets as hot as 50C-60C so that Noctua fan must work wonders. I have a blower fan in the middle with vents on the top and the bottom, blowing throw the heatsink fins on the top to cool the motherboard and blowing through the bottom heatsink...

    I was getting no video after trying to turn on the portable today even though it was working just the day before. Nothing changed other than it just sitting on the desk. RVLoader would boot in safe mode and show safe mode menu just fine, but otherwise would only have a black screen. I found...

    Yes I remember we had a chat on discord about this a while back. However the vibration motors just started working randomly, so I won't be asking how or why, I'm just glad they work and feel great haha. I'm not getting any video now however, so I have more troubleshooting to do... Thanks...

    Thank you! This was supposed to be just a thrown together portable from parts I had laying around, but now I feel I’m investing too much time into it haha. They're just mini flat styled rotary motors, but I soldered the jumper anyway just to see and it still didn’t work. So my next thought is...

    Yes, I updated it as well and still doesn't work. I replaced the motor drive ic since I have some spares and now I at least get a slight screech noise but still no rumble. I'm sure I can figure it out.

    Everything is wired and confirmed working just fine except vibration and the original Micro SD to USB adapter. - My micro SD to USB drive stopped working somehow after trimming the ground off to get it to fit in the case.. piece of junk. So now I have the Kingston wired in for testing. - Since...

    Looks nice! I like the sneaky placement of the USB C. Do you have any internal pictures?

    Thank you! - At the moment, I still have some testing to do since the heatsink is a kind of "in theory" idea where it should work well given how large and dense it is. - I plan on wiring the PMS V2 paired with the RVL-NTC that I have and run some temp tests to give me an idea of how efficient...

    After finishing the PS2P, the case felt pretty comfortable compared to all the other small portables I have built. I decided to use the same case and modify the internals for a Wii instead. I am calling this the Wii-C (C standing for Comfort). The goal of this portable was to not go all crazy...

    Worklog An attempt to recreate the PS2 PCB

    Haha, if it looked like this then that was me on a PS2 portable I was working on a couple years ago. I was just learning PCB design myself then actually. That's awesome! I was going to do a crazy trim on a board so I can fit it behind a 5" screen but it would require relocating the Video DAC...

    Dang, that looks really nice. Love the PS2 development on the discord/forums lately. I was looking into doing this at some point as well, but your research on the motherboard is way ahead of mine haha. Looking forward to this!

    I have removed the Wii's CPU/GPU with a hot air station just fine. I heated from the underside however so the chips didn't take direct heat. That factory solder was pretty tough if I remember correctly...

    El Cheapo - My First Wii Portable

    I think you should create your own design around simple premade boards you can get at 4layertech or other source. The Ashida is very well designed however is pretty large. On the plus side, most hobbyists here enjoy the learning curve of creating something yourself rather than building what's...
