One use case of this scenario would be that your untrimmed wii has a power fault and wont boot up due to that power problem. Ive seen this behavior looking like the wii power light flashing green for one moment then going either red or orange... i had to desolder all regulator circuitry and then...

Unless your school books regularly make the sound of a whirring cooling fan it might be a tough sell to your teachers... i like the idea though. You might be better off trying to conceal a GBA or something that is passively cooled and completely silent. Maybe massive heatsinks and a noctua fan...

If its your first, I would recommend going with the Ashida for now as its very straight forward with plenty of community support via worklogs. Granted the most difficult part of any portable is the Wii wiring which will basically be the same whichever route you go. Having the other parts all...

Alot of the screen drivers use specific resistance sensing to know what button you are pressing. The driver boards that come from 4layer do not need relocated resistors as the daughterboard is only tacts. The resistors are mobo side. So all you need to do to activate those button presses is...

Wowwwww! Great job on the build! Inspiring me to do one for myself one of these days!... Huzzah!

Wow Red! Great work mate!!! Im really excited to see how the rest of assembly goes. Are you planning to relocate the u10 relocation for the final PCB? You don't necessarily need to follow the u5 pad location like the guide suggests. If you're planning on integrating the mx chip too you will...

@meepledemeep The most common BIG mistakes have to do with power. Battery polarity swapped, hooking up batteries with shorts on the voltage lines from Wii layers or wrong wiring. While you’re working, just be diligent to just do a continuity check between voltage lines and ground before...

Starting to build the internal components in Fusion 360... Learning curves. Phew. Got the main motherboard bundle pretty well mapped out. \\ Also made rectangle place holders for PMS, Screen, and driver board. One step at a time...

The boards are designed as 2 layer (top and bottom) copper layers. So 1 layer boards will not suffice... 1 layer per side? That’s ok :)

I couldnt find the dpad either... Wiirdo D-Pad. Do you have a printable model of the dpad by chance?

No, dont remove it. Ground is GND is GND is Ground... you can pile them up on one or use any of the GND points scattered over the board. Its nice to use easily located ones for shortest and cleanest routing though. here is another photo you can reference... my last gboy build I did not end...

This post should be in the general wii section … This is a thread for completed projects, not questions… That being said… Just make sure the wires are running from pad to pad with the same labels… I think that the photos are just out of order. Nothing is hooked up incorrectly though ( in those...

Im getting 5 of each of the pcbs from JLC. PM me if you want one or two of them ;)

The only thing keeping me from building Louii Oneii was the lack of real dpad. Im DEFINITELY building one now... I love the abxy layout for my SNES games. Thanks mate!

Awesome! So, the most recent revision arrived from JLCPCB -- and it looks great! Saved so much space versus the last one sided board. Populated the board after cleaning with IPA: I tried to find a 2mhz xtal oscillator that would be more low profile but they are wayyy obsolete... Found...

Basically, 34awg magnet (I like two colors so I can twist and differentiate, 24awg stranded wire for power rails and batteries. I like the power wire to be pvc because it holds a bend. Silicone insulation wire is nice because it doesn’t melt but it moves around like those wacky inflatable...

Looking good Caleb!!! Cutting edge look out!!

Usually Mm. Pcbway has nice prints for utr clear and transparent resins. They will also paint for you. A bit pricy but really hard. Jlcpcb has nice white resin and SLS nylon and is alot cheaper. Or someone you know can print for you… they will need the 3D model files that are posted on ashida...

Wave bird receiver will definitely fit in there behind the wii mobo on the right between the battery and the cooling channel. There’s lots of space and the receiver is only like 3/4” thick after you remove shell. It’s electrical connections to the plug are on a header so it’s easy to mod non...

Sweet! So I just made a condensed revision. I put the ram chip and PIC on the back of the board and added some extra filter caps to the power rail for good measure. I did get to look at some of the design choices RDC made on his miNi64 v3 board... helpful reference :) Definitely saved a lot of...
