I've been using these forums for a while now, and finally decided to make an account and try my hand at this year's summer contest. I know a lot of people on these forums like to create portables, but I decided to go a different route. I am going to attempt (I hope successfully) to create "The...
After working on it off and on for a few years, I finished my first Wii Portable build almost a year ago, which was a G-Wii modified to have HDMI out and external GC Controller support. Now, I believe I'm ready to tackle my first original design, which I plan to make a clamshell. It'll be at the...
I’m attempting a Wii portable at the moment and I have a very strong, almost irrational dislike of the GameCube controller’s D-Pad. It feels so small and unsatisfying when I’ve tried to use it to play SNES or GBA games.
I’m curious what people consider the ideal D-Pad, portable or otherwise...
Hello all!
I've been a bit active on the discord lately but havnt posted much on here on forums yet.
I'm take a stab at building the Xii-Boy Ultra (BETA V3). Looking at all the other builds - the mess of wires was beyond intimidating. After reading this project was mainly ribbon cables and...
Heyo hello! I'm a regular newbie dumbass looking forward to working on baby's first portable build, an Ashida. I don't have all my parts in yet (I haven't even ordered all of them), but I am both too excited and a little too nervous to wait patiently about it, so I figured I'd get something out...
Hi there,
Another Wii repair project here, this is one out of 4 Wii's I got from a lot recently for parts or service.
I want to bring it back to life, but I'm hitting a knowledge barrier and would like some more experienced input on my current findings.
The Wii is a North American system in...
Hello,
I just picked up a Wii for repair locally, didn't know the history on it other than it really needs some love.
Once I got home, I started basic testing, other than the disc drive being a little noisy (I'll look into the gears later). The Wii functions correctly, except, once I tested...
About a year ago now, I built my first wii portable. Despite people in the community saying that the ashida was the easiest portable to build in the community, I decided that I didn't like how bulky the ashida was and settled on a g-wii.
I did this all for my highschool “capstone” project. A...
This is super low importance but I've been thinking about it a lot recently, maybe it's relevant to other people too. I can't seem to find a database of Wii games that lists tech specs, specifically aspect ratios and controllers supported.
Basically I'm looking to build a Wii Portable with a...
Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm about to start my Wii Portable journey and I thought I should start a thread and track my progress. I'm a novice console modder and an *okay* solderer from Australia. Also a huge GameCube fan and I'd love a new way to play some of the...
Hi everyone, as the title says i have a problem with my ashida.
I almost completed the project exept minor issues. One of them is that I can't access wii system because of some errors. I opened priiloader from rvloader and clicked system menu, and it shows the errors in this photo.
Someone had a...
Hi, I'm not really sure where to start with this worklog because with the projects I usually do, I just make a writeup after i'm finished, but here we are!!
I am currently making the Okama Gamesphere into a real and working Wii micro! For those who don't know, the Okama Gamesphere is a fictional...
A simple project for the Raspberry Pi Pico (and other compatible boards) to read Wii/Wii U debug port error codes. Useful for several things, including troubleshooting a trim not booting.
How to use it:
- Flash the uf2 from the github release to the Pico
- Wire the Wii (U) debug port to the...
Hello, I am Greater Michigan Modding, and i am from, well Michigan USA. I am 14 & completely new to the wii scene, as i only got a wii in may. I have been really bored recently and decided tha i want to build a wii portable, but i have too many questions. i know basic electronics, and have...
I got to the point where I can boot up the wii with pms lite and relocated a temporary usb, temporary av port and mx chip and Bluetooth. Mx chip works, so I wanted to test Bluetooth. I soldered a port bought on aliexpress to 1 of the four pins for data gamecube as shown in the guide photos, 3,3...
I am planning on making a portable ashida wii. I am up to the stage where I am testing the trim, and nothing is output to the tv. The trim and sanding went smoothly.
My suspects for the cause of why its not working are:
1. When I tried to remove the on board voltage regulator I accidentally...
