I ended up re-doing a lot of the Wii SPii PCB, including adding my own SD reader that will convert the SD signals into USB 2.0. The little Micro SD port there will be spring loaded, so that the SD card can also be easily accessed from the side of the portable as well. It is a little redundant...

Sorry to be blunt, but this type of build does require skill which PortaPackIt (at the time of this build, no idea if he has improved or not) did not have in the slightest way, shape or form in order to make something that is safe for himself, let alone his customers. Not only that, but the...

I already tried all of the above, including removing the mosfets and tried to charge it with a 12V 1A AC adapter, but the same shutdown was happening. I appreciate all of your advice though. I double checked all of what you mentioned but I don’t think that is the issue. Hopefully the mods can...

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately I don’t think that this is the problem I’m facing. Rather, I think the BQ25895 ICs thermal pad does not have a good ground connection for heat and thermal conductivity to the GND plane. Upon further inspection of the PCB layers in a gerber viewer, you can see...

I might throw a PMS in there for now just to make it work, although it isn’t an ideal solution really but let’s see, maybe it’s best to have a working solution than nothing at all just so I can enter.

Okay, so I have disappointing news again. After playing it for an hour or so, the same issue arose and I had to pull it out of the case and basically restart the entire build, so I am now “officially” not participating any longer :'( I don’t know what the issue is at this point, but the PCB...

And I’m finished! Here’s a quick little shitty video showing that it works. I will record my contest video this weekend! As you can see it’s pretty chonkalicious, but this helps with it feelin’ extra bootilicous. I recorded this at 3am with my toaster so you’ll have to forgive me for the...

I think Ginger meant that he forgot to include thermal vias for his ICs on his original PCBs, and included them on this run. Looking great Ginger!

Unfortunately I might be out of the contest. My batteries just won’t charge, no matter what I have tried it seems futile. I know I said it was complete, but I don’t want to submit a half assed non-complete project. I have tried replacing the BQ several times, I even replaced the BQ25895 with the...

Hot damn this is looking sexy as fuck. I hope you don’t encounter any more issues with the N64 mobos and you can complete it on time! Those curves look so comfortable. Good luck!

NOTE: The SPii Rev 1 is dead - rebuilding this entirely from scratch now, both CAD model and PCB. After 8 months, she’s finally complete.... it died : ( It is actually surprisingly comfortable given the nice grips!). It’s 2am here now, so I am going to sleep, but I will make a video later...

Thanks to BocuD for hosting the stream tonight. 9 hours later and this is how far I got. Hopefully I can close it up tomorrow. A lot of case flaws that I have noticed whilst building that will hopefully be fixed with a revision 2. It’s not as perfect as I would’ve liked but it’s fully functional...

Rule 1 of the contest: “All work must be done by you and only you.” The craftsmanship here is incredible it almost looks like you broke rule 1 of the contest by just buying this straight from a store. I’m jealous that I can’t even come close to this masterpiece this year with my entry, but...

My thoughts: THICC Very nice work! I love how large the display is, must look fantastic with VGA.

So this was a bit of a nightmare weekend from hell for me... >:) I was planning on streaming with YveltalGriffin this weekend for everyone to see the build process, but my iMac’s backlight boost converter decided to die and well, that put a dent in our plans... and my wallet... ooft. I also...

“It will be mine, oh yes. It will be mine.” I think it should have been a Wayne's World themed portable, but I guess Mario is more relevant. PARTY ON!

After debugging one of the nand pins that came loose during trimming...:awesome: Pizza MEMES coming through with the absolute flex! First LMAO trim —> success! :D Sorry for the double post, but the trim works, I feel like crying I’m so damn happy lolol. Hallelujah baby. I know that the...

Trimmed my own LMAO trim after verifying that the NAND relocation worked after a few hours of troubleshooting. The flex boards are indeed awesome. The OMEGA definitely wasn’t necessary! A LMAO fits perfectly inside an SP shell as you can see below. I plan on adding some screw posts to the...

Yes. People are willing to help but edit your current post rather than posting 3 times in a row in the same thread. This prevents the forums from becoming clogged up. Someone will reply, you just need to be patient.
