I'm glad I was able to help! This project really came out beautifully! The finish is especially lovely on this one! Looking forward to seeing this beauty at MGC! :D

As @fdraghi said, this isn't something that you're going to be able to do quickly. You need to order components, wait for them to arrive, and then seriously take your time when you do eventually start putting everything together. Soldering itself is something I've seen a few too many people...

This really came out beautifully! I totally get what you mean about getting to mirror things. I was tempted to mirror the right side of my Cyxty Four once I had the buttons figured out, but working with the left side scan ended up being a better choice. I'm so glad you were able to save...

Annnnnd it's done! No, like actually! This past week I've been actively working to get this portable finished up. I started by doing exactly what I said I was gonna do. I connected the various voltage and ground wires between the two halves until there was nothing left to connect. The only...

Progress on this build has been real slow since I've been balancing relaxing and enjoying my time off with other projects (including this one). With that said, I think I still have time to get this done before MGC if I keep making steady progress on it. Last night I got the batteries wired up...

I've always found the idea of not trimming a motherboard for a Wii to be interesting. Having a fully reversible and easier to build portable seems like a neat concept. As CrazyGadget was saying, there is an aliexpress Wii portable that comes close to being untrimmed and here's what the...

I'm a bit late to the welcoming party welcoming you back, but it's great to see you back! Your Wii SP consoles were always an inspiration to me! And I totally get the whole not wanting to design your own board thing, I personally don't like having to wait for the boards to arrive. You've...

From what I understand, you should be able to connect them to the joystick breakout boards that 4 layer tech sells and then wire them up to the GC+ from there.

So the original set of PCBs I ordered ended up never arriving thanks so the US postal service sending them to the same three cities for a month and then sending them back to JLC for some reason... No clue what in the world their problem is, the PCBs were literally in my state for a solid month...

Recently, I found myself revisiting the connections made in this project for work I was doing on another project. I'd like to thank @YveltalGriffin for teaching me the basics of two layer PCB design. I'm no electrical engineer, and I don't plan to change majors, so asking him and other people...

I've got a lot to say in this post, so please stick with me because all of what I have to say is good advice. First off, the edges of the trim look very jagged. Have you sanded the edges of it at all? If you have, you definitely haven't sanded enough. I would strongly recommend reading...

Glad this is helpful. A few people still use some of the legacy themes I made and I wanted a place to point them whenever I see them using one of my themes since they tend to break things in newer versions of RVLoader. I went ahead and updated the original post here so that instead of a file...

In one of my own recent projects, I found myself using the code for this in for a GameCube T3 joystick. After programming the micro controller, I ran into a pretty egregious problem. After going a certain distance on the joystick, it would somehow consistently end up going in the opposite...

Thanks! I've recently started work on proper controller boards for Rev2. Here's how the progress on them is looking: I've ordered a set of these and am currently waiting on them to arrive. I'm already aware that I'll need to improve the button pads for better longevity, and I'll be doing...

Thanks I guess? I wanna make it clear that I didn't do hardly any work at all here though. Aurelio added the background feature into RVLoader many moons ago, all I did was take the backgrounds out of my old themes, make a few new ones, and make a guide on updating to the background system (for...

I'm so glad it was working initially! Yeah, twisted H & V sync lines are a bad idea. I probed the V sync line on an untrimmed board and 2 trimmed boards with Mr. Multimeter to sanity check your suspicion. I was having trouble seeing the exact resistance value (given that holding the...

It's all looking pretty good to me. It's been a while since I've worked on a Wii though so I could be missing something obvious. I see you even have mode connected to 3.3v. Something that did jump out at me though was the H Sync and V Sync wires being twisted. I remember hearing you never...

It's about time I've done some sort of update for all the themes I've created. A long while back, Aurelio made it so you could easily make any 640x480p or 800x480p image your background or "theme" for RVLoader (depending on if your portable's screen is 4:3 or 16:9). After this update, my...

Congrats on getting this working! Does this confirm the potential for a Nintendo Switch style dock for a Wii portable? One that charges the console AND feeds video through? Also, do you think you could have PCBWay or JLCPCB assemble these boards for you? It'd be great to avoid the...

This isn't much of an update, but I may as well give this update since this will be the last one for a few weeks: My repair worked and it screwed in without any problems. I had to manually shave down the screw post with a dremel since the geometry I copied was supposed to be printed inside...
