This is a pretty neat mod! Reminds me a fair bit of Wesk's PS2 Ultra Slim. Did you have any plans with the additional cooling? Or was it just for the sake of improving the console's thermals? It's really neat to see someone doing all these kinds of enhancements to a slim model! I know that...

The USB port just passes straight through to the player 1-4 points on the motherboard. There is no micro controller or anything, this does mean that the hub is only compatible with my unit and wouldn't realistically work on a PC or anything like that. If you're talking about the female port as...

Have you verified that the speakers are making proper contact with the controller boards? I had to manually hand wire mine since mine weren't. To that end, have you also tried wiring directly to the speakers?

Ah the dreaded roach Wii... Sorry you have to deal with that on your first go around. From what I can tell, your via soldering for U10 looks surprisingly good especially for a first time! The U10 relocation itself does have room for improvement, but still looks decent enough. Have you tested...

I did also want to say that I've been able to get IR LED receivers to work with IR remotes through the shell of a portable without drilling any holes and even without a transparent shell. I can't say for sure that it would work (at least, not well) when using a Wii remote, but I did want to say...

Wanted to update this thread with some commissions I've done over the past year or so. Here's another Ashida shell I did for someone a few months back: Here's an N64HH shell commission I also did a little while back: Finally, I made this one for myself because I wanted to see how...

To connect the Wii remote to the console in the first place, you'll need to do a bluetooth relocation (just mentioning this in case you aren't already aware). For the sensor bar itself, you'll need some infrared LEDs to place inside the console. The Ashida doesn't have a place for you to put...

If this happened, your solder joints were probably cold to begin with! You should be able to move the wires sideways - relative to their length - and feel noticeable resistance, especially near the solder joint. If you don’t, or if a wire comes loose while you’re cleaning off the flux, the joint...

Other user-friendly builds are the G-Boy and G-Wii. There's also @Xenii 's Xii-Boy which is essentially a much more streamlined version of the G-Boy with almost no wires. Really it's up to you what you want to make. The Ashida is the most user-friendly build at the moment though. Real...

Some people still opt to relocate MX for games like Animal Crossing and Pokemon Channel that utilize the RTC. I seem to remember hearing that Aurelio may be adding in proper RTC support without requiring an MX relocation, but that's just pure speculation. Even if it does get added, this is...

I always thought a Wii U DS style portable would be neat! Any word on whether this project will have touch screen support? I seem to remember the Wii U having a touch screen although I'm not sure it goes used outside of UI navigation. Looking forward to seeing where this project goes!

Introduction: Along the way of making your first Wii portable, you're going to run into some wiring diagrams that ask a lot of someone who's new to soldering. From U10 relocation, to USB wiring, to VGA signals, to even audio wiring, Wii builds are infested with these tiny solder points. This...

These shells all look amazing! Almost makes me wish I picked one up. One of these days I'll need to make one of my own mini Wii consoles. Awesome stuff as always dude!

Glad to hear that worked! That's how it usually goes with fuses. Just be glad it was the fuse that got blown up and not your entire console! I know I was when this happened to my N64. As a result of this, I started checking the resistances between all voltages whenever I do anything to a...

It's soooo cool to see how few wires portables are able to get away with nowadays. I know this is Xenii's design, so he deserves credit for that, but I still love seeing people assemble these kinds of builds. Love seeing the laminated display in use too! Soldering those ribbon connectors can...

Looks awesome as always Wesk!

It sounds like you may have soldered the solder braid to what you were trying to wick up. You need to heat when this happens so you don't rip the pads up. You probably also used too much solder if you bridged the legs. The legs on this component are small enough to where you need almost no...

If you have solder braid, you can easily remove the bridges. Your soldering iron may be good enough if it has a temperature control, if you're not going to be doing much beyond fixing this console, then it might not make sense to pick up a better iron. I don't know for sure that your iron...

I took a quick and dirty look at the layers in GIMP to see what is immediately under that layer and I wasn't able to identify anywhere these pads would connect. Between that and the fact that they aren't clearly connected to any traces or vias on the board, it appears as though they are unused...
