    I broke the resistors that I harvested from the screen control daughter board.. they come with the screen.... but you can also just incorporate the daughter board into the build but I wanted to save space. Usually people would use smd resistors but I couldn’t find any on short notice. Hence the...

    Day 6: Yesterday morning I sorted out the button situation. Had to redo x and y a few times to get them to the proper height... Glued them down on the back plates. Used a dab of super glue on a and b soft tacts to keep buttons from rotating. All seems to be good! Meticulously wired them and...

    Day 5: Today I didn't have a ton of time to work on the project. Package came with copper plate, squishy tacts, button caps and resistors for the button board. I fixed the button board with out too much issue. Not as low profile as with SMD but these little 1/4watt resistors will do just...

    Day 4: Today, I wanted to sort out the LED situation. After chatting with gman, we tested a standard LED and discovered the power and address lines were not fried. Thought maybe the led might be damaged. But Gman noticed scw and sdw lines were twisted together. So here, I learned that the wires...

    Day 3: Yesterday, I wasn't planning on doing too much so I decided to install the LED because it sounded like a good idea. Little did I know that would turn into a full day of work on the portable... Allow me to explain. On my gboy, the LED always seemed too bright. I didn't want that to be an...

    Day 2: Today I tackled the trim and wii wiring. I pulled out a board I thought i had prepped for trimming a few weeks ago but it wouldn't boot! I discovered if I plugged in the Wifi chip it would boot! DOH... but this was a non gamecube board and it would boot right into either priiloader or...

    Hey y'all... I finally got started on my Gwii build today. I still don't have all the parts from AliExpress but I couldn't hold back any longer. I've had so much fun building and dialing in my first portable, a purple Gboy, that I am already excited to make a second portable. Its been so...

    Amazing and inspiring! I’m about to start mine too… just waiting for the last of the parts to arrive from Ali express. I love the idea for the Wiimote sync button rather than the LED. Nighttime sessions are also blinding with that LED in my experience too. I’m also curious why you bridged C...
