I finally got the relocation to work! Only a few months later but hey, better late than never. :P Now the WiFi module technically doesn't need any of the pins going to the SMC/SOC, but there is a pin that needs to be pulled up for the module to function, just like on the BT module. I show that...

Quick update on the hardware side of things: I finally wired up USB. The top port is the 'USB0' port (for vWii stuff I guess?) and the bottom port is one of the front USB ports, just in case I need to boot into the recovery_menu for whatever reason (the UDPIH exploit only works on the front USB...

Thanks haha, it seems like I always make things look trivial.. lol. Eventually I would want to pull that pin high, but I dont have good access to it atm

I got the system to boot today! I gave up on trying to use an eMMC, so I am just using a redirected MLC. Works quite well (even with my less-than-ideal SD card wiring). The partition size for the MLC is just the standard 32GB. It's a 64GB SD card and I don't want/need any crazy sizes to store...

Be prepared for a picture-heavy post, today has been a long day for me and got lots of work done, and I come with great news! Relocated the 5Ghz module (the one used for the Gamepad). It took me a few tries but after changing my routing and adding the resistors, it worked immediately. Next I...

The Japanese Wii Us have arrived. Both are WUP-50s! As you can probably already tell by the image, I already tore one apart and am going to be using that one for the Wii U Mini. The other board I showcased here I started sanding down instead since it was most likely dead when I tried something...

I've started sanding + scanning the WUP-50 mobo. It is only half of the board, but the other half is pretty much the same as the WUP-01 and the half I am sanding will be useful for a compendium for troubleshooting trims (since the LOLWUT trim line is in this area) and a complete pinout of the...

I lied, they were quite cheap. About $25 in total (the boards, a stencil, and shipping). I also had to redesign the SD slot slightly, I didn't realize that the one I used was actually a hinge-style, so I switched to the SD slot used on the cafeflex.

I actually started designing the flex not long after ordering the boards and BOM for the minireg. I'm pretty sure i've put everything I wanted on here, minus some TPs for the SMC if someone wanted to use those. It will be a while before i order these though. Spent sooo much money last night...

I forgot to mention this in last nights post, but the RPi5 power supply is handling the WUP-30 like a champ. It was running at 15v, but now I'm confident that it can power the WUP-50 with 5v. It might work with the previous board revs, but honestly supporting them with this makes no sense to me...

I started (and finished) the reg board: I'm calling it "minireg" because..well, its for the Wii U Mini. Since I am still a big noob at KiCAD, I based the design off Yveltals bistro, because it already had whats needed and it wasn't very difficult to adapt for this. The design is open-source...

After the thread creation, I wired up the bistro just to test the board (since I haven't actually powered it on in awhile). I also wired up the SMC/RTC and a pico (because I love the logging with the pico): But the system doesn't power on.. I am 99% sure I have the SMC and RTC soldered...

Guess it's my turn for one of these. I've been planning on doing something like this ever since I saw Yveltal's Preliminary trim and how similar it looked to the Wii Mini, and with the Wii Micro being a thing, I thought something similar could be done with the Wii U. I cut out a Wii U board...

this is from memory, but i think its mostly correct: purple - RTC EXI green - some TP400X pins. i doubt they are for the other players. blue - DRAM teal(?) - nRST red - 3v3 yellow - 1.5v black - GND grey - pins i tried but didn't work

i forgot to write on this thread, oops. i started to RE the Wii U SoC to try and find the other players, but i come back with some bad news.. The Orange pad is P1/TP69. One would assume that the other players would be near it, so thats where i started. All of the pads that are colored are for...

earlier today I tried finding the other player data lines, but was unsuccessful. I heavily doubt they exist, but I will still keep looking.

As the title says, yeah, you can do it. Not sure how useful it is for stock consoles but it could be a good Gamepad replacement for portables. In this context, GCC = GameCube Controller. How to do it: Get a GCC extension cable you wouldnt mind destroying OR steal the GCC ports from a Wii (or...

The SATA port is limited to GEN2 SATA, so the speed of a modern SSD won't really matter

The Wii Us SD bus is quite slow, so it can't exactly take advantage of a high speed SD card, but the Wii U is just pretty slow in general. You can mount a SATA SSD as a USB device for extra storage, but if you are using a rednand, you should get a decently sized SD card instead.

Honestly, I'd say that the best way for an eMMC relocation is simply don't and use a redNAND. Jan has been making some good progress with redNAND, and now you don't even need a real eMMC to use a redNAND. It shouldn't be a big issue either on the software side, since portables should have...
