    Galaxy Black G-Wii

    I did a thing again. In all seriousness, this one took around as long as the first one for all the wrong reasons. I'll be creating a thread at some point called "Cyframe's Notes" per Shank's suggestion where I'll detail many of the stupid issues I ran into. I learned a lot more this time around...

    After testing with other micro SD cards, I've concluded it is the card. I'm going to test this micro sd card further to see if this issue exists in any other capacity or if it's just every once in a while when loading pre-rendered cutscenes. It seems harmless enough and otherwise it seems to...

    Great suggestion! It hasn't happened at all when plugging my G-Boy into another Wii. So with that information we know it's either the adapter, the card, or the filesystem. The problem still happens when I remove the adapter from the G-Wii and plug it into another Wii; so I've ruled out it...

    I never stopped to consider that, at first I doubted that could be my problem as I've run into the crashing problem I mentioned earlier with games other than MKW. But apparently this is a completely unrelated issue to the crashing I had though - I just tested the file system out on an untrimmed...

    Alrighty, so this was originally intended to be an Indigo G-Wii but things happened and plans changed. It is now a galaxy black G-Wii. That said, I've been having the strangest loading issue for a while now(see the video I posted). It has happened across multiple Wii motherboards. I've had...

    Probably, the fact that not does this decides why can't be I user more as because I doubt really sure register are loading times toasters... I'm afraid of toasters....

    It's been a bit since I've posted an update so I'll do just that. It turns out my issue with freezing/crashes wasn't bluetooth, and it wasn't USB lines, reformatting the micro SD card didn't do me any good either. I'm still not at all sure what the problem could possibly be, at this point...

    I did probe the voltages and I was careful to ensure ground and 3.3volts didn't bridge. I'm still not certain that my solder joints from bluetooth were causing it to freeze, but I've done like an hour and a half of testing games and I haven't seen it happen again. If bluetooth didn't require...

    Update: So I've spent the past week+ testing this unit, and out of nowhere it just started freezing randomly and giving me disk errors on games. It wasn't at all consistent and would sometimes happen on the RVLoader screen as soon as the RVLoader logo got displayed as well as mid-game session...

    Mario Themes (OUTDATED DO NOT USE!)

    I plan to update these themes soon, I decided to wait on updating them or making new ones until the new version of RVLoader was out for the sake of not having to update more stuff. Expect to see more themes by me soon!

    Per Gunnar's advice I've ordered some 750 ohm resistors as I have other motherboards missing this component. I've closed this unit and tested the battery life on it. I've gotten 3 hours and 45 minutes on my first test with a second test currently in progress. The unit has been on for around 2...

    It's a long story. Basically Noah told me that he had a bad one on one of his Wiis back when I was working on a separate project. This motherboard is a leftover attempt to replace RA1 on a different board which ended up not working because it was the PMS on that build all along. I seem to...

    I had to re-solder that resister and the ground pad had lifted when I accidentally removed it when I was working on the board a while back. Basically that's my way of re-attaching ground to that resister. I already asked this question in the discord but I suppose I'll ask here as well. I've...

    Update: Looks like I had a short on the 3.3 volt rail. Thanks so much again for all the help Gman! I'll be taking/posting pictures here once I verify it's more stable.

    Alrighty so update time. I've essentially finished the unit, (wired up controls, audio, MX etc) and I've even closed it and fully charged it. For some reason, the Wii is losing power after a few seconds of turning the unit on now. I've looked inside and nothing looks loose/bridged. I'm...

    Solved Screen driver board

    Due to interference and panel issues I've had to replace the screen in my G-Wii. Luckily I happened to have another 5 inch screen on me, but I'm having trouble modding it for 5 volts. It appears to be an alternative model of the ZJ050NA 08C screen as that is the screen I ordered but the driver...

    Today I wired up and mounted one of my trimmed Wiis. I'm still waiting on some grey squishy tacts for the rest of the controls since I have basically everything else done at this point. Here's how that turned out: Pardon the unconventional trim, these things happen sometimes. What matters is...
