    Also, Aurelio's DD is fpga based right? so wouldn't that lead to higher power consumption? seems like a steep price to pay for a more customizable output and smaller footprint. I really appreciate the praise; I remember when my brother showed me shanks killmii video (probably why I am a...

    I think there’s some talk about it. I still mainly want to get my hands on a DD board but alas. I’m not all too concerned with visuals though. I already have bad eyesight so they all kinda look the same. trust me it was a lot of butt clenching. Plus I did go a little overkill on the sanding I...

    Yup just did composite to check and make sure my trim was working. Hence why the set up is very bare bones.

    UPDATE TIME! Yesterday I got the boards delivered from 4 layer so I populated them and masked off the wii for trimming that was done today. Today I trimmed the Wii and did a little sanity test. - the trim went alright. My first cut was the diagonal which I ended up having to redo because it...

    Since I’m no longer getting rid of the LDO and u5 I decided to go with a PMS-lite. So I relocated U10 and with a little bit of pain and filling the via and pulling the magnet wire out simultaneously. I got it relocated and the guy is still working!

    That makes sense. Also I should really do what’s easier first and then try a harsher trim. So I updated my cut lines to hopefully make it a simpler trim. Also my explanation wasn’t very clear, what I meant was near the fan cutout the electrolytic caps there (I thought they were for composite...

    Like CrazyGadget mentioned it’s just outlining the vitals. From the research I’ve done with the compendium, definitive trimming guide, and quite a few of shanks posts. I’ve gathered the main functionality of the OMGWTF trim is to keep the nand and ave traces, voltage caps, composite filter caps...

    Don’t got much yet. My Wii has been homebrewed for 3 years now waiting for me to finally gather the strength. Well I am now just waiting for the parts to deliver and I did make a little breakout board to hopefully make troubleshooting easier. Plus I laid out my trim for the ashida. The black is...

    Another update I finally got the touch screen carrier board in and I strapped together a rough case (still need to get one 3D printed). But I have found a couple things that can be worked on Ongoing Issues: - there’s a noticeable break in the songs every so often. - CM4 heats up a considerable...

    AHA! I have an update with a little bit of finagling I was able to get the newest pi port of lineage and gapps onto my 400 to download Spotify (see attached photos). So the concept is possible. I also found a CM4008000 that I have bought and I have a carrier board that has a 5 inch touchscreen...

    BitBuilt Welcome Thread!

    Hi I'm new here but I've been a long time lurker in the portablizing scene. I do have an electronics tech background and am currently going to college to be an electrical and computer engineer but I wanted some projects that were going to be fun and frustrating and give me a better understanding...
