So it turns out, the HDMI board I bought is faulty. I don't know what exactly is wrong with it, but Shank suspects it is running the wrong firmware. Either way, I was able to get audio on the replacement board I ordered. I suppose that's what I get for ordering from Skent though, One of my...

I'm overdue for another update and I actually need help this time, but we'll get to that. After nearly 3 months of waiting, the screen finally arrived! So I decided it was the appropriate time to print the front of the case. I had a few dumb technical difficulties with getting the scaling...

You can do what Crash said and that will work just fine. Sometimes I skip measuring resistances and just sand with 100, 500, and 1000 grit paper. I know I've sanded enough when the board feels smooth and good. It doesn't take a TON of sanding on each grit, but it is important that you do...

Time for an update! I'm still working on the top half of the case, progress on that has been slow, but it is almost finished. Here's a shot of my HDMI mounting solution completed: For this project, I'm using the Electron Shepherd HDMI board. It has two screw holes which mount into a bracket...

It looks like Crazy Gadget beat me to it, but I'll make my post regardless. The Ashida BOM has everything you need for the build listed with links. If any of those links are down, you can do a search for the part number and it should come up elsewhere. The STLs for 3d printing can be found at...

Hello all, I recently found myself printing a G-Wii shell in a certain filament because I wanted to see how it would turn out. A while back, Noah built one like this during one of his streams using this filament and a thread showing a completed one made with this filament exists here. I always...

As MP3 said, one of the first things you should be doing when preparing a Wii for trimming is installing RVLoader. RVLoader is our replacement for homebrew apps like USB Loader GX and it helps to protect the console from being bricked upon temporarily removing features like Bluetooth and Wifi...

I've also had issues like this with Microcenter's micro SD cards when they're > 256. For me Mario Kart Wii's demo would slow down after a while, but it wouldn't crash. Playing it or other games would sometimes crash though. This was consistent across untrimmed and trimmed Wiis, and was only...

Making themes is down to replacing the files in rvloader\themes\main. Ideally, you'll wanna create a copy of the main folder and start editing the files in there. In my most recent case, I created 2 variations of each theme to accommodate 16:9 and 4:3 screens with the only difference being the...

UPDATE! All the themes in this thread are now defunct and no longer function with RVLoader. I have left them up for preservation purposes, but I strongly suggest you switch to using the newer background system. If you want to use the backgrounds from this thread, this little guide I made can...

Thanks a lot for releasing these Ginger! I've modified the Front STL to accommodate OEM Switch directional buttons. It needs to be re-scaled due to my modeling software, syncing the scaling to the other model in Prusa Slicer should do the trick however. Credit for this goes 100% to Ginger since...

So nice to finally see this come to fruitation! Internals look great for a first project. Nice work and so glad I was able to help!

Nice, I've actually just started work on one as well, good luck with this!

After taking the portable to MGC, I learned a little trick from @Gman about re-drilling screw posts. First you fill the screw posts with a mixture of super glue and baking soda, and then you re-drill the posts. This made screwing the unit closed easy! After getting back from MGC and surviving...

I was able to get some decent shots even if my phone's camera quality isn't the best. Here's what the portables were looking like: Kill Mii pic came out blurrier than I would've wanted I wasn't gonna not get a shot of my G-Boy right next to Shank's. If only we had a third stand I...

I didn't think I was gonna get it together in time for MGC, but it looks like I was able to! The screw posts for closing the case were hell, and I will need to iron out a few things, but it's all working as it should! Here's a side by side comparison with an actual GC Wave bird controller...

Always appreciate the words of encouragement. I wish you luck with finishing yours if you haven't already! In the meantime, I forgot to mention this when it first happened but when putting my fan in place I almost completely broke it. What happened was, the area to put the fan in my unit is...

So, this update has some good news and some news that's pretty much ruined my night. Good news is, I got the Wii to boot and my trim is working! Bad news that's pretty much ruined my night is, my PMS is fucked. I've been having my dad screw in the 4 layer boards because it can be really...

Noted, I'll be removing it here shortly, thanks for the explanation! Also noted, Thanks both of you for the info, I should be getting back to work on this unit tonight so expect to seen another update soonish.

I think @Stitches has answered your question accordingly. Thank you! This build really shows how far the community has come. I'm really looking forward to finishing this up and I'm especially looking forward to playing it! We talking the one occupying the space 3.3v gets wired to? I haven't...
