    Concept Idea: An All-in-One Wii Portable Carrier PCB?

    Funny enough, we have been working on something just like that for a while. It integrates basically everything you mentioned (minus GC+, which is optimal to have on its own board) plus more (like undervolting) on a single board, designed to fit on everything from the most basic trim to the most...

    Worklog G-Wii Rebuild Project (The RepairMii)

    This is excellent! Great job on those pcbs, it really cleans things up. I second what cy said about brass inserts; they are game changers. I dont think I will ever do another 3d printed build without them.

    Question Shoving extra batteries into an Ashida: could it work?

    I used to be all for stuffing the biggest battery I could in a portable, but my perspective has really changed in the past few years. The heavier a portable gets, the more uncomfortable it becomes, especially for prolonged play. What has really changed my perspective to smaller internal...

    Release Sega Saturn cdx

    This man will not rest until he puts a Sega Saturn in every possible form factor imaginable. He will invent a whole new dimension just to have more room to put all the processors. Crazy work as always dude. Love it.

    Question Wii GCVideo Analog Options

    So the first, major thing you should do is make sure you have deflicker off. That will substantially increase the sharpness of the picture. You can force it off by forcing video mode to NTSC (or PAL) in nintendon'ts settings. Its also worth noting that basically every single analog to digital or...

    Question Custom SteamOS handheld on a budget ?

    I think you are going to have a very hard time making one for that low of a price. The steam deck itself is sold at a, in Gabe's words, a "painful" price point; which means either low margins or lost money on every sale. They are working at crazy economies of scale to get the price low, and are...

    Worklog [2024 Contest Entry] PS Pocket

    I think you should step back and look at what you accomplished here. A hobbyist designed an impressive, hand-assembled project that integrates a product of your design into it. Clearly this is a hobbyist doing this for fun, and not someone who sells products; sourcing playstations at scale to do...

    Silent Fan for Gboy Rev 3

    If the issue is caused by PWM, why not skip using fan pin altogether and simply connect the fan either directly to one of the many power rails the Wii utilizes? Or if all the rails push either too much or too little current, utilize either a series resistor or a dedicated tiny linear regulator...

    Question VGA issue on Ashida portable Wii – image turns green when all colors are connected (help)

    Check the load resistors around the AVE. You make have knocked one loose. If I recall correctly, supposed to be a resistor to ground running from the green line to properly attenuate it the signal. You can find which one it is specifically by checking the compendium and following the green line...

    Question HDMI Compatibility Question

    It may be that you plugged it in after booting on the console its not working on. Try restarting the console with the mayflash plugged in from the time you start it up. The 480p being grayed out means it does not detect the presence of a Wii component cable, detected by connecting the sense line...

    Worklog Kawaii

    This is an insanely hard DIY project, not something you will be able to buy. The news sites were misreporting it as a complete product that will be for sale, but this is not the case. The game library will be whatever GameCube games, Wii games, virtual console, and homebrew you install on it...

    Lumadoub's core circuit is based on the ADV728A Eval board. The schematic can be found on Analog Devices page here. Startup Sequence can be found in the datasheet here. Example scripts to get the ADV7280A (and ADV7391) running in this configuration and others can be found in a .txt file here...

    Worklog LumaDoub: An Open Source Line-Doubler and Transcoder

    I spent a stupid amount of hours investigating avenues for native RGB input. I'm like 95% sure the chip can do it in one of 2 different ways, but the feature is locked out. Instead I'm taking the approach of adding an RGB to YPbPr transcoder for the input stage. It pretty much doubles the pcb...

    MGC 2025

    MGC was a blast. I was so busy I forgot to take photos. I did take this photo though, which I think truly encapsulated the spirit of Midwest Gaming Classic.
