Well, we all got to start somewhere and to be honest I can't think of a better place than here to be as a noob. When ya got awesome people like @Noah @ShockSlayer @Gman @Aurelio @Shank @cheese , etc. just to name a few, (I didn't want to keep naming names or this would be a loooong post) to...

All good points... I was one that came from ModRetro to BitBuilt and from my prospective, and what all I had read, the GameCube was the way to go. They had a ton of documentation of the GC on the older sites compared to the little section devoted to the Wii. Once I found BitBuilt, (a beautiful...

Nice work so far, especially for a first portable!! I gotta say I too like the case you chose and the work you've done do it. Keep it up man, can't wait to see if finished!! :)

I have 3 WiiKey Fusions and 2 WASP Fusions laying around but I haven't had time to test them so not totally sure they all work. I got them from another user awhile back as a huge lot sale that included some GC boards, N64 boards, etc. I put in an order with BadAssConsoles for a couple of...

Hell yeah man you're/all you guys are killin' it!! I just wish I was a bit more knowledgable and could offer to help or be useful... but alas I'm still a noob. :) Nice, LMAO!!:XD::XD:

That little yellow on in the pic has been a pretty good meter and pretty accurate but one of the probes broke on me last week. I got it from ACE Hardware for like $10 or $15 a few years ago so it owes no service, lol!! While trying a spare set of probes I had laying around I ended up with a...

I... I... I... ... I'm speechless... ... I really can't say anything better than what everyone has already said other than, you guys are AMAZING!! Looks like Santa hasn't been the only busy one this year. I can't wait to see what 2017 has in store for the Wii... and whatever else might get the...

That does sound pretty sweet!! I have a buddy that works with all kinds of plastics in his design shop including engraving plastic and plexi... might have to hit him up for ideas and some custom cut pieces. :D. I actually though about using something like banana connectors or speaker...

I like the car battery idea... strap it into a fanny pack and hit the road!! :D That's what I was thinking was going with either 18650s or LiPo's. I know LiPo's are lighter but can be a bit more on the dangerous side if not handled correctly, (just look at the Note 7). I considered getting...

Yeah, they actually do still have the harness' included so we will see how that works out, hopefully good, lol!! Thanks for all the info so far!! Here is the first picture testing everything working together with PortablizeMii running. Now to figure out batteries and then start tearing...

Ok, so here is a project that I have been working on to help out with building my portables. Not a portable itself but I wanted to get you guys opinion on how I should finish it up. I took an old useless desktop and stripped all the parts out and figured I would use the power supply as a bench...

I've been meaning to make this offer but keep forgetting with all that's been going on. From talking to ShockSlayer the 10k resistors needed for install are pretty common but I just purchased like 100 of them off eBay. So if anyone that picked up a GCVideo in this batch, (above this post) from...

Ahhh, thanks guys!! I haven't had a chance to crack everything open yet but hopefully will be soon. So it is better to solder to the pads to make a good connection and not melt anything. They actually came with the plugs still plugged into each side so I considered just splicing into that...

Ok, so I've got everything I need to start working on a portable Wii project... especially since the weather her has put a halt on my GCp case work. Going to be a challenge for sure after reading through the Wii trimming guide so I might have a lot of stupid questions. My first is, since I'm...

I sure hope it turns out to be an awesome console/handheld, it seems to be going in that direction so far. And I can honestly say that Zelda is one of the main reasons I still play video games, lol!! It's also the biggest reason I even started looking into doing portables in the first place...

I've been considering going the ABS/Acetone route for awhile, think I originally read about it on ModRetro somewhere. Sounds easier, cheaper and stronger than the plastic epoxy I'm using now. Think I might have to try it!! :). And yeah, the Bondo and Glazing Putty is a pain but it looks SOOO...

Awesome!! Merry Christmas everyone and good luck!! :)

Thanks and naaa, it's all good man!! That sucks your case broke apart like that, it came out so nice looking too!! It has been a challenge working with the Acrylic but so far with the extra wood and screws plus a ton of plastic epoxy/epoxy putty it has been pretty sturdy. Trust me, I have...

Awesome for your first portable, great job!! You really got the smooth case work down. I'm still struggling with Bondo and putty tryin' to keep it smooth since I've never worked with it before. If you don't mind me asking, what all do you use? Can't wait to see some more of your work man!! :)

Finally got some photos uploaded for the case work. These are before I sanded it down to make it smooth... and I totally forgot to get some after pics before starting the second coat of Bondo filler. Looks like it is covered in Marshmallow, lol!! :) First Filler: Epoxy Putty
