In the guide hub, there is a 6 layer expansion to the general trimming guide that details where everything is on a 6 layer board. There are two U10 vias in that diagram you can wire to, you are able to use whichever one you prefer. Good luck!

Q1 - I don't think there are any good videos right now that shows the trim being done. Safety wise, as long as you wear safety glasses/goggles and don't cut super close to your fingers you should be fine. Definitely cut outdoors as the dust is less than healthy. Q2 - Yes, you can output video...

Have you checked out the cooling kit in the BitBuilt store? That kit has all the same parts as what the Louii uses. If you need just the fan, then there are some on eBay like this that have popped up recently. Unsure whether they ship to Canada though.

Have you gotten the trimmed Wii to successfully boot since you did the trim? If you haven't, then I'd reccomend removing BT and MX for now and just try to get a booting board with the bare minimum. Some of the soldering looks a bit sketchy, definitely use thinner wires for power on the Wii...

Well, that all depends on the size of the screen and control components you use. I'd reccomend getting those parts in hand so you can take some measurements and base your size off of those.

16v is also a fair amount higher than what the input voltage is rated for on the 1v and 1.15v PTH regs. Using those in this situation is probably not advisable. What is the project you're working on?

Unfortunately the 7900X models are the only ones supported for trimming. I'd reccomend trying to get one of those if you're looking to trim, I can generally find them on eBay for $30 or so.

It sounds like you're interested in homebrewing your Wii U moreso than building a portable. Wii U Homebrew must be done on the console itself, as the gamepad is just a fancy controller that talks to the Wii U, it doesn't have any intensive processing on its own. BitBuilt doesn't have any...

Check out this hack: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/gc2wiimote-beta.2945/ I've played a bit of Xenoblade with it and it seems to work fine. You'll need to set up a nunchuk configuration, the classic controller hasn't been implemented yet, though it will be supported in the future.

Made some decent progress this past week. First big step was trimming the PS2. The trim went pretty poorly by my standards. My dremel was struggling to cut cleanly and it took me a long time to cut out the entire motherboard. Unfortunately I had one big slip, which happened to bring the...

You'll want a 4 layer Wii, the eBay link is 3 6 layers

Yeah, be sure to not take the cover off the copper plate as well if you want to be ultra-cultured. Excited to see how this design turns out, it's looking super clean so far.

Unfortunately yes.

You want 8 ohm speakers.

Uncertain what I'm going to title this project, so for now it's just a PS2 thing. I've never had a whole lot of drive to do a PS2 portable, just because I've never had any interest in the games for it. I bought a 79001 off of eBay shortly after Gman released the PS2 trimming guide, but it has...

It doesn't, the Wii will prioritize native controls over the adapter. You'll need to include some way to disconnect the internal controller's data lines when you want to use the adapter.

Using a case made by a big company not intended for portablizing consoles is ok. Using a portable case designed by a portablizer for your portable is not allowed for the summer contest.

Been making slow progress on this design over the last few months. Here's where the project stands right now: CAD work is mostly done, with some slight tweaks and additions left to go. Everything seems to fit as planned. Triggers are a bit tricky. This is what they're looking like right...

The GameCube and Wii use different voltages. So it won't work.
