OK. U10 relocation is now complete. I must say that the desoldering was a lot harder than the soldering. Eventually I just cranked up the heat on my iron and the chip came right off. Now I’m building up the courage to start soldering to those traces. Unfortunately I’m not able to test my...

I probably started this work log too early but oh well. I’ve finally decided to start my project! So I kinda got into trouble on the first soldering part. After removing all of the components on U5 and finally desoldering U9 (one of the legs on U10 snapped) I wanted to clean all of the pads to...

So it will work but they just won’t charge very fast. I’m honestly ok with that as long as the charger can keep up with the wii it’s worth it for me because I won’t need to carry an extra charger. I’ll get my hands on somebody breakout boards then! Almost forgot to say thank you Jeff for the...

Ahaa thanks a lot for that Jeff! But 5v 3a could theoretically keep up with the wii, as long as the batteries can handle that simultaneous charge and discharge rate, right?

So a quick update on my planning. I'm very close to finally starting this projects, I just have a few more things to purchase before I dive in. I'll post a picture of all of my parts once they all arrive. However I did have to re-order a new audio jack because stupid me didn't get a switching...

That’s great! That means I only need to get a usb-c breakout and a few pull-down resistors on the cc-lines and I should be able to lose the 2.1mm jack. If only my PMS could get shipped...

Hey gman, does the PMS disconnect the batteries when you plug the charger in while playing? Also, how hard would it be to edit the code to allow the desired input to 5v. I’m considering this because I would like to hook up the PMS to a usb-c breakout. BR

Thanks a lot for all of your answers guys! I'm currently debating with myself whether or not to bother fixing this thing. Pretty close to start my first wii portable and currently got myself head-deep in that. So I might pick up the project at a later date. But thank you to all you guys for all...

Yeah that makes sense. So if I want to even consider usb-c I would need to modify the PMS to accept 5V. So no usb-c for me then. Thanks guys. I need to upload this image for a PM. Does anyone know how to upload a file seperately from a thread conversation? Sorry if this is a noob question.

Thanks yet again @The hob for the advice. Just ordered 4 of those cells and awaiting the dutch truck to arrive between 14-21 days (that's slow driving). I'll also try to find a local place to get hold of a multimeter, or just order one online. I was also looking into usb-c charging. Do I just...

Thanks a lot for the advice @The hob . Made sure to order plenty of wire: 38 guage magnet wire, 22 guage wire (for GND), some 24 guage wire for power, and some 30 guage wire for anything in between. Hopefully I'll be all sorted now on the wire front. I just wish the boards I ordered from the...

I fix for you my friend. No but seriously, it looks to me like a region mod switch. Not surprising seen as I live in Europe and this was a Japanese GC.

Thanks a lot man. I'll make sure to stock-up on some of that. Pretty hard to find thinner than 32 guage wire here in Sweden but I'm sure I'll find some. Back to shopping!

Thanks for the quick reply Jeff. Yeah I honestly think the previous owner installed a region mod, can't find anything about there being a switch there in the stock version. I'll check the outputs of the regulator board once my multimeter arrives (such a noob didn't have one yet). I'll be back

Hey guys So I have a NTSC-J GC lying around and the reason for this is simple. A year or so back, when I obviously wasn't very switched on, I bought this GC and decided to test if i powered on. But being the moron I was back then I just used a regular wall adapter (I live in europe where the...

So already ordered 3x PAM8803's and 6x of these speakers + some IR leds, headphone jack, buttons. I've also ripped 2 joystick boxes out of a shitty 3rd party wii classic controller that deserved to die. Currently looking for places to find abxy-buttons. Found a place selling batteries of the...

Hi guys! I've been lurking around the forums here the past month after seeing madmordas video "Worlds Smallest Gamcube". That video just popped up in my "suggested" tab on youtube and since then I've been obsessed with portabilizing. I've been reading all the guides I can find on here like: The...

Ahaa that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the clarification

Hey Gman (This is my first post btw after weeks of lurking) Was just meaning to ask you about the cooling solution in your CAD-model. Is that heatsink really drawing much heat off the GPU? Wouldn't I need a significantly longer one to cover both the CPU and GPU? But then comes the question...
