It's worse than you could imagine. People here pretend to be bad.

Diagram looks fine, just know that H and V are flipped from what you have labeled there. You shouldn't need to change any Wii settings. This screen automatically switches between HDMI and VGA depending on what signals it receives, so you don't need a separate controller board just for that...

Doom was always a very funny guy, both in person and online. At MGC 2019, he bought a Waluigi figurine for $10 in the vendor hall and brought it to me have it signed. This was before I was any sort of niche internet micro-celebrity, he just did it because "You're the Waluigi guy, so I need...

I implemented the same friction fit style that Wesk used on his G-Boy remix. It locks in really, really tight on an FDM print, it would have to be a pretty serious fall for the screen to pop out. There's also a lip on the bottom of the screen that does tuck inside of the case, so if its held...

Oops, it's almost done I've done two rounds of prototypes, with the first one having a few big issues and the second one having some small issues. First prototype looked like this: @supertazon donated a version of the 3.5" screen with a built in protector and some sleek looking bezels, so...

Only 1 entry is allowed. There's no original hardware rule, the project just needs to be a gaming related project. It can be as big as you'd like.

I guess it's time. I stopped building Wiiboy Colors because I did not enjoy assembling the USB-C and old PMS boards needed to build them. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough space in the case to fit a PMS-2 and a PMS-PD inside, so I never bothered to do a redesign to use modern boards. BUT...

You should probably reach out to whoever you bought that G-Wii from for help. It's impossible to tell from those pictures what's going on.

This man peddles shrines for the anti-christ Our little town will not tolerate this

When Spencer retired from portablizing back in 2020, I happened to live in the same town as him. He sold me a bunch of parts and equipment very cheaply, including a sleek, blue case for a portable Wii that he never got around to finishing. Since 2020, the case has lived in various corners of...

I've got a Wii board that runs very stably (so far) with the 1.15v line pulled down to 1.02v. I've undervolted a PMS-2, connected the 1v and 1.15v lines to a single 1.02v reg, and put it inside of the WiiX, so I'll report on how it does

Sometimes a Wii is still able to boot up, even without the U10 relocation. When this happens, it boots up into an almost half-awake state, where it might be able to load RVLoader but can't do anything past that. Definitely make sure you're using the right via in the future.

My guess would be an issue with the data wire. It sounds like you've checked for continuity there, but sometimes the act of closing the case or shifting it causes the connection to loosen up. If your screen is working fine then it's likely not a voltage issue, so I'd recommend just redoing the...

Just back back from holiday travels to find my secret Santa package! Inside the first part was a diamond cutting wheel and one of those tiny GameCubes. No 20 year old gummies inside of this one though, apparently my Santa was too hungry to leave those in. The last item in there was a Waluigi...

The aspect ratio being weird is because your Wii is outputting in 16:9 instead of 4:3. You can change that in the Wiis home menu settings, or with a homebrew program like SettingsEditorGUI

2S2P battery config? All cells need to be in parallel, if you're feeding 7.4v to your PMS then that's very bad

If you're new to soldering and working with hardware, then any portable Wii project is going to be pretty daunting. I don't think that means you can't start by designing your own though. Nothing in your list of planned features is unreasonable, those are all things that are implemented through...

Quite difficult. Judging from that thread on how you broke your Wii, I think you'll need to practice your soldering quite a bit to be capable of tackling the BT and Wifi relocations. Buying a new Wii is the better option here

If you're using the included RGB led, you'll need to go into the RVLoader settings and set it to the correct LED type for it to show any colors. It's set to simple led by default instead of the addressable RGB one.

When I first got interested in portablizing, the specifics and methods behind Wii trimming and how it worked were some of the more confusing parts for me when I was a complete beginner in electronics. A couple of weeks ago I went ahead and did a 6 hour livestream where I did a thorough...
