Thanks! I thought so! It's Anycubic's purple PLA. I linked it in the text for this post.

I like having people handle business matters over forum DMs since there's a better record of that in the event something goes wrong. If you want you can add me on Discord. My Discord is "cy02541", feel free to add me.

Agreed! The front came out real nice! Love the analog gates! Love the 2 tone aesthetic! Ahh I see, thanks for explaining! Loving what the bamboo printers are capable of now days! Looks wild!

I believe the original PMS2 has a better battery life indicator than the PMS Lite. I think the 1.8v rail is also missing off the PMS Lite. You technically don't need the 1.8v rail if you don't remove the LDO on the Wii, but some portables require the removal of the LDO for clearance inside...

Such a clean print! The back of the G-Wii is such a blank canvas for custom art like this! I especially love the details in the fan intake! The edges of the shell also look great too, are they part of the filament you're printing with? Or was that detail you added? Either way, this is a...

It's definitely possible on the Wii, but it's extremely difficult to remove and resolder the CPU and GPU properly. Mods involving a custom Wii motherboard wouldn't be very accessible as a result. That said, there do exist functional custom Wii boards, although the success rate of transferring...

I'm glad the documentation is helpful. This isn't really my documentation though. I'm actually not sure who originally documented this, but I will say that the diagram that Elektix posted earlier in this thread was the same diagram I used to make this. I'm not sure how arcade joysticks...

Just a quick little update here. The latest revision of the boards has arrived! Things still seem to check out electronically, so I imagine these probably still work. Looking forward to seeing CrazyGadget assemble one of these bad boys! Thank you again @CrazyGadget for providing scans...

Heck yeah dude! There's really nothing like trimming your first Wii and getting it to boot successfully! This is always a GREAT sign for these projects and it's one of the toughest hurdles to overcome! I don't know if this will help you to improve your micro soldering, but I made a guide for...

Thank you both! Yeah, I've been thinking that an N64 mini is definitely among the projects I'd like to see come from this! I've done some additional testing on this project since my last post. I tested expansion pak support, ran the unit for over 4 hours straight, verified SummerCart and...

It's time for a major update! The assembly process for this was rather slow seeing how there were TONS of components to relocate. As seen in my previous post, I transplanted everything on the back first. So after that, I went ahead and moved on to the front: My first major priority with...

I'm really starting to run out of things to do on this project. There are a few misc internal file things that I've gone ahead and done, and I also changed the names of a lot of the nets since they were auto-assigned names by KiCAD. Here's how things look right now: This itself isn't...

Time for another update: I've added the majority of the silkscreen and I have just about everything together at this point. There's a small handful of things missing, for example, the cartridge slot's silkscreen is incomplete. But that's something I'll look into adding a bit later. Before...

Update time, here's the front: And here's the back: There's still plenty of work to do, but progress is coming along well. Initially I had the voltage planes filled in with filled zones, but today I corrected that. That's all for now, just wanted to post a brief progress update.

Yeah, that's what it was. Someone in the BitBuilt Discord was able to help me resolve this when I was going over ground plane connections. It's exactly what you said it'd be though so I appreciate the help! It's been a little since I posted an update here, so here's where I'm at: I'm not...

So I'm continuing to work away because I still have the motivation somehow. Would be really cool to get this done in time for MGC, but that's very unlikely. Anyways, here's how the board is looking: A lot has been added. I've initially chosen to make vias my main focus due to how safe of...

After doing a bit more digging and looking a bit more closely at the schematic, it looks like I overestimated how much there was left to do. As far as I can tell, right now the first real draft of this schematic is done: I've compared my schematic with the official schematic quite...

It's been a while since I've posted a progress update. I didn't realize I had made as much progress as I have since the last post, so here's an update: The schematic is coming along rather well. I want to say it's around 70% of the way there. It's difficult measure my progress, but I eye...

Funny you mention this, I thought this would be a great use-case for this project! Having said that, this project is unfinished right now, and the current progress on it isn't far enough along for release to allow for something like this. I started working on this again tonight, but expect my...

This project is going to be open source, so if people want to start building custom N64 boards using this as a base, nothing would stop that. I won't be making boards to sell for this project, no. The main goal here is just to provide the community and the internet at large with a "good...
