Ah finally there it is, the true steam deck killer! (Nice steam deck btw). What's the case made out of? The end result looks THICC and got CURVES and looks super nice to hold honestly. EDIT: Oh maybe consider naming it something along those lines. Like the Xdeck or XBdeck.

Absolutely gorgeous piece there! That filament is spectacular. I really like the clear green you used for the A button. Is that clear PETG?

As long as you can output a solid 5v via the circuit you plan to build, you should be fine. What pi are you using?

It's difficult to say with certainty what you're trying to accomplish without an actual diagram to view. Id have to Google all of those components and compare. Personally, I used the Adafruit battery booster 500c. It turns your 3.7 battery voltage into 5.2v for your pi 5v power rail. It also...

Hooray I'm so glad the project seems recoverable. I can't wait to see it working some day. My fingers are crossed

Well everyone, time to mark this complete. It's amazing how time flies. I've had a blast watching everyone's work logs and their projects develop. I present to you! The Chicken Nugget Boy! Features: Dpad, start, select, L bumper, R bumper, A, B, hardware speaker mute button 2 inch color...

What symptoms is it showing? Is it just not posting to the portable screen? It could be a multitude of issues rather than the whole board being dead.

Best way to determine if your PMS is still working would be to check that your battery voltage is full (3.6/3.7v when charged) and that each of the power rails is outputting the correct power. Measure each voltage rail 1v, 1.15v, 1.8v(PMS2 only), 3.3v, 5.0v and make sure that they are within at...

If you can do clear colors then I'd love an atomic purple ashida and gboy!

Oh my goodness using a transparent cd case as the shell to house the actual cd drive is freaking brilliant. Such an aesthetic way to show off the spinning disc. The album is Destroyer by KISS

Your commitment to the format and theme is commendable. I love it. Can't wait till the next episode!

Oh wow it's beautiful! I really love those buttons. They look like little gummies. VGA would probably be plenty on a screen that size. If you went VGA, then you could also add an electron Shepard VGA to HDMI converter board so you can do video out to a TV. Cant wait to see more progress!

If you're brand new to electronics projects I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing a louii or ashida. They're "beginner friendly" in the sense that they are the more simple Wii portables to build since they're thoroughly documented to the point where you can build one start to finish without...

Ayyyyyeeee congrats! Always so satisfying when it boots for the first time. Huge breath of relief!

Take your multimeter and find out which wire is the center pin of the RCA connector and which wire is the outside of the RCA end. The outside of the RCA is ground and the center pin should be the AV connection.

Cut the black 3.5mm jack off. Then separate the white and red RCA jack. Remove the jacket for the cable and you'll have braided shielding and a wire. Twist the braided shielding together, that gets soldered to ground. Take the wire and solder to pin 3 of AV out.

Those HDMI converters require power to enable the conversion. You only have composite and ground hooked up. Pins 4 and 10 on the AV connector are power. With your current set up, that HDMI convertor will only cause you issues. Best route is to wire an AV cable to pin 3 and ground and plug into...

Yeah I'd definitely swap out that data line pair for a tightly twisted magnet wire pairs. You might also see some freezes or hang ups in the SW based on what USB drive you're using. There's a list in the RVLoader FAQ page of supported drives.

Did you test the voltages on the PMS board or the Wii itself? I would resolder your u10 wire. Based on your previous photo it's definitely in the hole of the via, but doesn't look like it's actually soldered to the via itself. Make sure to remove a bit of the solder mask so the via is nice...

It's gonna be hard for any of us to help troubleshoot with you if you don't include some photos of your wiring, solder joints, boards, batteries, etc. Lots of SW issues can be caused by faulty data +/- wiring, pairs not twisted correctly, the wrong USB drive, cold solder joints, etc. Lots of...
