FPCs through PCBWay are indeed very expensive. These FPCs through JLCPCB are $15 for 5, and they also currently have a one time use coupon available for a free 2 layer flex PCB order for boards less than 100mm^2. Perfect for these if you want to give them a shot!

For what its worth this doesn't necessarily always happen to 6 layers, just a thing that can happen. I have a 6 layer Wii that I've had since launch and its still chugging along and working great, just depends. Also, yes, all colored Wii's are 4 layer boards, if you're getting one to use as a...

Gonna need pics here, video artifacts can mean a lot of different things, and a pic of the screen/internals will allow us to confirm whether its a GPU fault or something else. Please send some pics or a video of the artifacting you're seeing. A clear pic of the front and back of the motherboard...

Several things you need to check here: 1st off, please make sure the display you're using accepts 15KHz sources (aka 240p, 480i), most PC CRTs that accept VGA do not. You'll need a scaler if you want to use this on those. 2nd, please clear any sorts there might be, especially when it comes to...

For PU-22, the process is exactly the same as PU-18 and a lot of other revisions. The GPU is the same between these revisions and also breaks out the H/V sync lines into convenient vias and test points. Sorry for the crude diagrams, did them on my phone. Theres 2 locations for H/V sync, firstly...

I love the use of an FFC to connect the two halves! Excellent work!

You're welcome my guy! Hope you enjoy it!

None of this setup will work for you. You need a regulator that is capable of supplying 5V at 2.5A minimum, which this Adafruit board cannot do. If you want to use lithium batteries, you also need a BMS (battery management system) that can properly manage charging & discharging, ideally...

Teensy 4.1 would be extremely overkill here, especially for the price. I'd recommend picking up an RPi Pico for $5 (which even this is overkill but RPi Picos are a really good price and are very widely available), or even an Arduino Pro Micro or any AVR board that can do USB HID. Would be much...

I too have also received my Secret Santa package today! Kinda weird how 3 of us all got ours at the same time... heh. This year I got the legendary @Gman, and he sent me an electric screwdriver! I was actually in need of something like this, so he pretty much read my mind, and this is...

Just asked Marshall, if you got a board from them then they were tested before they were sent out, so you should be good to install it.

Oh perfect, thanks for the honesty and clarification! I'll clarify that I wasn't trying to be accusatory in any way, it's just important for people to know these things going in when dealing with lithium batteries. What I'd recommend for your test setup is to do a full charge and discharge...

[snip] I should also ask, have you tested these cells and can you make any guarantee in terms of functionality and remaining capacity? If so, do you have a testing setup that you could show us so that we can confirm this guarantee? You are selling these for quite a high markup compared to the...

Nice work! Btw, maybe it would be a better idea to use one of these replacement AV ports for your project, since they seem to have an overall smaller footprint? Entirely made of PCBs, so you might be able to incorporate the overall connector shape into your build and just slot a PCB that has the...

Also, fun fact, WUT is also the name of the homebrew Wii U SDK, aka Wii U Toolchain :D Incredibly great work man, I've been eagerly awaiting the completion of this trim! I'm astonished by the possibilities going forward, and can't wait to see what the community comes up with!

Afaik, no, but you might be able to use my PS1 PMS design if you tweak the resistor value for the 3v5 reg to have it output 3v3 instead! Alternatively, RVL-PMS Lite should work, but probably way overkill for an N64 build haha

Hey everyone! Quick update for you all, as I'm not quite ready to put out a full update with the progress I've made yet, got a couple more things that I need to finish. I would like to announce though that I have made all design files for this build that I have completed so far open source...

Sorry for the lack of updates on this thread, but I got a lot of progress done to share with you all! I will preface this by saying that I'm not super hopeful that I will be able to finish this in time for the contest. Parts of this project have taken way longer than I anticipated, and I still...

Analog2HDMI would be one way to go but it does draw roughly 1.5W on 5V - something to consider as that is definitely not a negligible amount of power, but it's less compared to something like Shinobi Scaler, so it's probably your best option. Unfortunately, that 3.5in display driver doesn't...
