Be sure to also ground the composite connector, your TV won't be able to read the signal properly without having a common ground between it and the Wii. If you haven't already, be sure to check with a multimeter between any of the voltages and ground. Also remember that you'll need a button to...

Howdy. I'm looking for an intact GameBoy Color. Doesn't need to work or look really nice, it just needs to serve as a prop and something for me to take dimensions of. So as long as it has basically all the parts you can see from the outside the shell, that's basically all I need. Let me know...

Not sure, probably a fair bit. DM me and I'll see if I can get an estimate.

You can't solder directly to Switch sticks, so breakout boards are needed to be able to use them. I've gone ahead and assembled some extras for people to purchase. For people based in the USA, you can get 2 for $7 shipped. If you live outside of the US, it'll be $5 for 2 plus whatever...

Step 1: Use Nintendont Step 2: Buy a MayFlash GaneCube adapter for Switch/WiiU Step 3: Plug that adapter into your Wii and run Nintendont Step 4: Enjoy your non-jank solution of playing GameCube games on a Wii without GCC ports.

Do NOT use these regs to power your portable Wii. One test at a voltage the regulator is actually rated for is not proof that these are good regs. What happens if the current varies a lot? What happens when the regs are in an enclosed space like they will be in a portable? Multiple people...

Looks pretty good, you will need to connect 3.3v to the main board as well as the Bluetooth module, and you only need to run one ground wire to the Wii, as long as it's 22 gauge.

I'd always reccomend using the PMS board just because it's so good. They should be back in the store this week as Gman just finished assembling another batch. In regards to your ground question for regs like PTHs, you're good to just daisy chain all the ground connections on the regs together...

Here is my video submission for the contest!

Yes, you can connect your voltage to any of the spots indicated in the guide. The voltage points are all internally connected inside the Wii, so you only need to run one connection from each reg to the Wii.

When the BOM of a portable is several hundred dollars, spending $20 extra on regulators that work all the time, don't heat up ridiculously, and don't blow up is just kind of a given. If you're going to drive something at above 50% the rated current, the secret to fixing it is to GET A...

It's one of the selectable sources, but you have to connect component video in through the VGA port.

The best thing to use is Isopropyl alcohol, but be sure to put masking tape over the BGA chips (GPU, CPU, RAM) before trimming to limit the amount of dust that could potentially get in there. You shouldn't need to do much scrubbing to get the dust off, I'll usually just wipe along with a paper...

I wouldn't attempt this for a first design if you don't have any experience with PCB layout and such. Big boards can be pretty pricey as well, which is why we generally use smaller modules that we then wire together.

So the plan was to build another portable for the summer competition, but due to a combination of factors (got my first commission, leaving my workstation for 2 weeks in August) I am not going to have the time to make the WaluWiigi 2.0 into the portable it deserves to be. So.... This is my...

All of our GameCube guides are located in the guide hub. However, the cost of a portable is very expensive, and as Wiis are only $15-20 it is absolutely not worth it to build a GameCube portable anymore. GCPs get less battery life, run hotter, are much harder to build, much more expensive to...

Not sure about which controllers are considered too mushy and which ones not, but we call them squishy tacts because 99.99% of all the tact switches out there have a hard, clacky feel. The orange tact switches feel pretty similar to the actuation of GCC buttons, but it's not an identical feel...

I've spent my entire internet life thinking ftfy meant "fuck this fuck you" so thanks for the clarification lmao

So what you're planning is very advanced for any build, let alone a first one. I'd reccomend changing these things for a more reasonable build: First, drop WiFi as a desired feature. What do you want to use it for? It's very difficult to properly relocate, and if the relocation fails then...

Just so you're aware, both the GC+ and my Micro-USB adapter are meant to be assembled by hand, hot air may speed up the process a bit, but neither uses extremely hard to solder chips.
