    Discussion Ok hear me out

    I would suggest trying the current tools (RVLoader) before attempting to revolutionize the way things are done. RVLoader allows you to access everything without ever needing a Wii remote. GC2Wiimote, included in Hiidra/RVLoader, allows you to have your gamecube controller function as a Wii...

    Do these cells have any lithium protection circuitry between them and the Wii itself?

    Discussion I just wanna talk about my failure of a wii

    For anyone finding this thread in the future, nothing in the initial post should be taken as accurate information. Disc drive board has nothing to do with "no emulation". SNES portables have existed for well over a decade before BitBuilt was a thing. Disc drive daughterboard board can return...

    Question Building a "flight safe" wii portable?

    I've never had trouble with my portables. Often they will bug me for other things in my bags, like cookies or my laptop, but not my portables. I bring them through in a single aluminum flight case with pluck foam cutouts for all the portables. My thought process is this gives them a clear...

    Question Megaman X Collection No Video USA version

    My understanding is that game runs in 240p. Not many screens/devices accept a 240p signal through vga.

    Solved Is my wii fried, and if not how do I fix this

    If it's 3.1v on the input, something is wrong. Did you sever the trace as recommend in the guide? The input of the u10 should be directly connected to the 3.3v rail. If your 3.3v rail is 3.1v, then your voltages aren't correct. Measure the voltages of each rail on the Wii motherboard itself...

    Solved Is my wii fried, and if not how do I fix this

    Post more pictures of the board in question. Measure the voltages under load, so the voltages under load. Also, if I remember correctly, I'm not sure if the PTH regs have enough current rating to power the 1 and/or 1.15v rails. It's been years since I looked at 6 layer board stuff, but I think...

    Worklog Portable Xbox 360 (slim corona)

    If the schematics are from illegally obtained/leaked documents, then they should not be shared here. As for the squiggly traces, this is for impedance/timing matching.

    Worklog Wii-C

    This is nuts. Looks amazing so far. Love the ffc breakout cable for the ave data lines. Few questions: 1: How heavy is that copper heatsink? 2: How well does it work? 3: How did you insulate the other electronics and pads on the PMS board from shorting on the copper heatsink?

    4Layer Product Line Update

    Hello all! Today we have some news regarding the 4Layer modular product line pricing. When we started up 4Layer, a chip shortage was on the horizon, and we made a significant investment in initial inventory. Sales have exceeded our expectations, and while this is exciting for us, it also has...

    As per rule 7, please host images on-site, and do not use externally uploaded images. Externally hosted images will disappear once hosting site goes rogue. See: tinypic, photobucket, and half the older threads/guides on the internet lost to time

    You actually did it you madlad! Thank you for your contribution! Do you have any other documentation you created along the way to get here, such as board scans or schematics? Would love to see how you got to this point, and see if others could use your notes to take it even further.

    This came out great! It looks delicious. The contrast between the internals of your 2 Ashidas is striking. It's a huge improvement, and you should be very proud!
