Deep research from the NoldCave discovered that the components in the top right of the gpu had been trimmed off. (Thanks @Nold). Those are necessary. I spent a while researching that little filter and attempted to rebuild it... The threeway capacitor takes 3v in the top, the center point is...

Ill give that a touchup, thanks @Gman ... Here are the resistances with the wii trim disconnected from everything WITH the u10 relocation: Im used to seeing the 3v3 resistances about 6k across the board... or atleast consistently a high kOhm value across the board. This discrepancy has me...

In troubleshooting this I made the 1v8 pad on the wii bigger for "more bite" as @CrazyGadget put it. I also switched over to PMS2 to see if it was a u10 relocation problem. Still no boot though...

Studied up more this morning and tried out the trim... The board's resistances were normal. NAND and AVE relocation was confirmed booting on untrimmed board. Relocated the u10 and confirmed 3.3v there. Also relocated R71 on the top of the GPU to the NAND flex cable. Trimmed the board down...

A few weeks ago I fried my PMS1. Woops.. I finally fixed it last night. Learned to program PIC chip (thanks to tip by @Aurelio : https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/how-to-program-your-gc-board.2541/)... Replaced the BQ and bam... working pms1 again. This unit was only populated for...

For the longest time I have wanted to take on this challange. The "illusive omega trim"... After a breif but welcome vacation from wii while diving deep into the n64 project, I'm inspired and ready give this a try. I've been studying the compendium after transferring it over to photoshop...

Thanks @Gman , I just tried that test you recommended and the meter does not show any voltage when A+B are pressed in the controller test program in RVLoader. I also tested to make sure the motor rumbles when touched to 5v and ground; it does... I am not sure what else I can test... Here are...

This seems like it would be a no brainer but I am having issues with it... I have soldered the red/blue lead from the wiimote motor to the M+ and M- on the GC+2 respectively. I hooked MP to 3.3v and also another test at 5v... I tried LRA jumper open and closed. Nothing has yielded a rumbling...

Thanks for your dedication and foresight fellas.

Great job buddy! I've been only following this through our DMs... its cool to see the whole log here for the first time. You are rocking it... this is gonna be really beautiful with the yellow and white. Are you thinking about custom buttons? or just standard colors? Keep crushing bro...

Yahoooooo!!! I'll take two please. Great work y'all...

Alright fellas, the ghost in the machine came back... I spoke too soon. The controller behavior is very strange indeed... It seems that when I cleaned the pif board that first time and it worked I jumped to the conclusion that it was the flux... then a few minutes later the controller stopped...

Thanks mate! It was the loose junk/flux... I was starting to prep another pif breakout board... but discovered we could just clean it to make it work! A good ipa wash down got it sorted. Both you and @Gman had the "clean that up" message. That turned out to be the trick! :) Before and after...

Hey all, I've been running into issues with inconsistent p1 controller data problems. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Right now it DOESN'T... sigh... I've re-soldered different sets of wires and tried different controllers and controller ports. I am measuring perfect continuity to...

Trimmed down the EverDrive... Made a sweet little angle on the side and cut off the development usb port on the battery side. I also trimmed down half of length the pins on the everdrive. I really wanted it to fit behind the n64 in a sleek way; so I followed the edges and angles of the trim...

Hey y'all, finally swapped out the bad driver board and now I can consider this build officially buttoned up! Woot! I learned a ton in the process of my first two portables; being the G-boy, and the black gwii I built. This one was a meditation in tidy wiring and integration of the wii skillset...

The Joystick PCBs came in, surprisingly. As did my mouser order. However, I ordered the wrong ATTINY24 format... got the little square chip but I need the SOIC-14 format... whoops! Also, seems Micro's v3 joystick converter boards need something a little different size than the gamecube box. I...

Upon waking up this morning I immediately began my investigation. I discovered that I accidentally wired the cartridge with the top and bottom row swapped!!! That is atleast one reason why it was not booting. I thought I may have blown my board and my everdrive. I tested my ED on my home console...

Today, I picked up my PIF Breakout boards from JLCPCB, and the FPX / PMS1 / 64AMP from Mr Pickles (@Ethan )... So I will finally be able to start the PIF relocation and attempt to boot the trim. Here is a snapshot of the BOM for the pif relocation: I had to harvest the capacitors from a scrap...

Sounds good man…I actually really love the sketch! You are going to maintain four controller ports?
