For the longest time I struggled to get solder braid to work. I thought it was useless and garbage. Then i realized the problem was that the specific solder braid I got was useless and garbage. Gman recommended me this, and it has made life so much easier. I highly recommend giving it a try, it...

For the actuators I used orange squishy tacts. For the buttons I used regular GameCube buttons, but I filed down the guide pieces, and instead glued a solid core wire (like a resistor lead) to the back of the button to be the guide piece to keep it from falling out

I did not. There wasn't a way to integrate it without it sticking out like a big ugly tumor. It's not particularly useful though, especially for the types of games you would want to play with a gamecube controller

I like it. Those handles look like hips/thighs. Maybe the name could have something to do with that, say, Thunder Thighs?

Bet yall never expected an update to these files. Just released update 1.1 for the poor souls still trying to make these.

The 3d printed part that mounts the stick also holds the tact switch, and the Z button in place

Alright boys, No promises. No guarantees. But lets see what we can do. The Wii U MIGHT be capable of portablization, but there are a lot of caveats. It is going to take a lot of work to get there, assuming it even is possible. Even if possible, the amount of work and complexity to make a Wii U...

Can you leave some sex appeal for the rest of us? You are hogging it all.

If you wanted to make it "smaller" than the Kill Mii, you are gonna be hard pressed to do so. What you save in removal of the buttons, screen and battery, you will have to give back up for: 1: The ports to connect things 2: The cooling to make it last more than 10 minutes. @Nold, one of the...

Some boards and the components to populate them came in the mail. One is a PCB for some of the ports. For HDMI out, I plan to use a VGA to HDMI circuit stolen from a cable of the aforementioned function. The 75 ohm resistors will be removed from the converter board, and the screen will function...

These numbers were measured by me, and written down by Cheese as I read them aloud to him over voice chat. I performed the measurement with the 1.8v rail running on LDO. I performed a test powering the 1.8v rail directly, but I don't know where I saved those numbers. I do remember though that...

ITT: Shank does something that has nothing to do with the Wii The Real Boy will be a pocketable, Virtual Boy handheld. -4.3" 480p 16:9 IPS fed by VGA (via Virtual Tap with custom firmware with a modified resolution. It'll put out 800*480 instead of 800*600 with a letterboxed 2x2 pixel doubling...

Goddam, this is intense. This looks awesome, seems like it could be useful for both general purpose use AND highly integrated portables. Really excited to see what you do with it all, and very happy to see yet another great project come from the work put into the compendium.

You even milled in the screwposts, are you even human dude?

Looks fantastic! Wish I could do body and paint work like that :D

:facepalm:

Very ambitious. Looks awesome so far! Really excited to see this project come to life

Incredible. What are you using for the game controller?

Mmmmm yes. Tiny and lots of battery life. THIS is my kind of portable. Glad to see this project is still alive and kicking. Cannot wait to see it done!

Just entered. Can't wait to not finish in time again this year!
