You can definitely do this; you just have to take into account the different analog range of sticks vs sliders. Sliders have a lower analog range compared to joysticks, which is why the GC+ has a calibration feature. Putting a full sized stick in a DS would work, but you'd likely experience the...

Sometimes people straight up create a newer updated version of someone else's old project and just tack their name or an extra word onto it to differentiate between the two. As long as you're not undercutting someone's commission business, most anything's fair game if you give credit. More cool...

Don't worry about the name btw. There are only so many viable puns, some overlap is inevitable. No-one really cares all that much

Very well done!

There's also no accounting for reshelled Wiis and the part intermixing that happens within the suppliers between revision deployments

Oh and because the definition of "commission" in Rule 1 was a common point of confusion last year: It is entirely allowed to use and customise any open source project or publicly purchaseable component in your builds, and you may use fab-house services like PCBWAY to make your custom PCBs, have...

Yeah that would be a no go for the comp. All work of yours regarding your entry must have commenced no earlier than April 2025. What you can do is make a sequel to an older project. We allow V2 type entries; the requirement is that the V2 must be a substantial evolution from its predecessor...

I would offer to attempt to repair it if I shared a continent with your friend, but I live in Australia. The cost to ship it here and back would be absurd

I have excitement!

Don't worry about the boot.dol, that's from a wayyyyyyy old version of a different loader. When you unzip the RVLoader archive that you download from the github page, it will make a folder with the same name as the .zip file. Open that folder and you'll have one folder labelled RVLoader_v2.1...

The structure of the games doesn't affect booting. If the console has no display when powered on and the battery is confirmed functional, then there's a physical problem. It could be any number of things with these cheap shit units, so the list of things to check is pretty long. If your friend...

Lot of goop in that one...... The correct file structure is just all of the folders within the RVLoader_v2.1 archive extracted to the root of the SD card. The SD card must be formatted as FAT32 with 32k cluster size. You can use the guiformat tool from Ridgecrop for this if Windows won't do it...

That soldering needs serious cleaning up before any guesswork can take place. There are wires with loose strands sticking out all which ways, and some very over-exposed solid core wires. Both of which are just begging to short against anything they can touch.

We'll need photos of the board and wiring to be of help

How many wires come out of the SD socket? If it's only 4 wires then it is in fact a USB adapter. If you can get your friend to provide photos of the internals, we can try to determine if it's a physical problem like a broken wire. Also, can you describe specifically what the system is doing...

If they used the Nintendo tri-wing screws in it, you can buy any cheap tri-wing screwdriver on ebay or amazon to get it open and inspect the internals

It's possible that there's an internal SD card to USB adapter, otherwise I'm not sure how it ever worked correctly to begin with.

You appear to have RGB wired correctly, so that isn't the problem. Normally my first suggestion would be to swap H and V sync in case the board has them mislabelled, but if you have probed every endpoint and tested it with another device and it worked as expected with the labelled pinout then it...

I can't speak for compatibility, but there are many companies selling replacement hall effect sticks for existing game controllers now. Switch Pro or Xbox compatible sticks would likely be close to the right form factor to slot in for a Wii portable. If you want to know what makes are good...
