After taking the portable to MGC, I learned a little trick from @Gman about re-drilling screw posts. First you fill the screw posts with a mixture of super glue and baking soda, and then you re-drill the posts. This made screwing the unit closed easy! After getting back from MGC and surviving...
I was able to get some decent shots even if my phone's camera quality isn't the best. Here's what the portables were looking like:
Kill Mii pic came out blurrier than I would've wanted
I wasn't gonna not get a shot of my G-Boy right next to Shank's. If only we had a third stand I...
I didn't think I was gonna get it together in time for MGC, but it looks like I was able to! The screw posts for closing the case were hell, and I will need to iron out a few things, but it's all working as it should! Here's a side by side comparison with an actual GC Wave bird controller...
Always appreciate the words of encouragement. I wish you luck with finishing yours if you haven't already!
In the meantime, I forgot to mention this when it first happened but when putting my fan in place I almost completely broke it. What happened was, the area to put the fan in my unit is...
So, this update has some good news and some news that's pretty much ruined my night. Good news is, I got the Wii to boot and my trim is working!
Bad news that's pretty much ruined my night is, my PMS is fucked. I've been having my dad screw in the 4 layer boards because it can be really...
Noted, I'll be removing it here shortly, thanks for the explanation!
Also noted,
Thanks both of you for the info, I should be getting back to work on this unit tonight so expect to seen another update soonish.
I think @Stitches has answered your question accordingly. Thank you! This build really shows how far the community has come. I'm really looking forward to finishing this up and I'm especially looking forward to playing it!
We talking the one occupying the space 3.3v gets wired to? I haven't...
So when ordering the battery clips I couldn't find the exact ones I are supposed to go used in this build. I ordered ones that looked like they'd work and spoiler alert: They didn't. I was able to make them and the batteries fit, but it was putting too much pressure on the batteries. I could...
Thanks a lot! This takes me a huge step in the right direction although I still have a few questions.
Edit: I had a few more questions, but I'm all good now.
Good to hear thanks for the feedback!
Despite still being up to my ears in homework, I made time to do some things with a quick late-night session.
Z1 Tact has been properly relocated:
I'm still really not clear on what needs to happen to the screen driver board to make it work but I'm aware...
I've gotten the Z button switch out and I'll be putting it in the correct way soon enough. Since trimming the motherboard takes a decent amount of time, I wanted to get that done yesterday. Here are my results:
The other end looks like it might've gone into the NAND traces - while my dad was...
It's been a long time coming, but it's FINALLY my turn to make an Ashida! I'm hoping to have it done in time for MGC so I can show it off to the bois. My shell was printed in sla by The_Random_Guy and I truly couldn't be more grateful for him kindly selling it to me for an utter steal. While...
So last night I had a dream that HackerBilly lived stupidly close to me(which isn't too farfetched considering Noah lives unreasonably close to me). I ended up discovering it because he posted his wifi password in #general of the Bit Built discord for some stupid reason. For whatever reason, I...
I see the standards are high this year. This turned out beautifully! These smaller portables never cease to amuse me, I feel like it's rare to see a small portable like this that also looks comfortable, you pulled it off though. Best of luck in the contest!
