Wii Revision Checker A problem I've come across often when sourcing Wii consoles is determining if they are suitable for portabilizing or not. There is a very helpful guide to identify these "4-Layer Wiis", however it requires removing the battery tray if the Wii has a white shell. The vast...

Hey guys :D , in this thread post i'll basically document all my steps for creating my first ever wii portable, for anyone who wants to know what parts i've bought and i'm using, here's a list with them: 1x Untrimmed Wii Family Edition Motherboard (it has 4 layer board and low consumption which...

OPEN SOURCE ON GITHUB! Kawaii is a functional metal Nintendo Wii keychain created by @YveltalGriffin, @Wesk and @Ding. It's a technical tour de force that prioritizes aesthetics over practicality, and fully utilizes the OMEGA trim. Kawaii may be the zenith of Wii portablizing as an artform...

Hi, these days I’ve been having problems with the games I have on my SD card, especially the WAD-installed ones. Most of the games have stopped working. When I try to open them, a message appears saying "This channel can't be opened." This message only shows up with retro games like NES, SNES...

i have a non trimmed wii with only one problem that is that the wii doesnt recognize any disk drive so i installed rvloader with a external disk drive (generic case + 500gb toshiba 100%) and when i load a gc game loads just fine but wii games stuck in waiting for es

INTRODUCTION: For anyone unfamiliar with the Xii-Boy line of portables, these are projects created by @Xenii that enable you to convert a Nintendo Wii into a portable console with a Gameboy form factor. The Xii-Boy Ultra (XBU) is the latest and greatest by Xenii, and is possibly the best...

A year or two ago I joined this group to make an ashida because I thought it would be fun. It was pretty fun, and I learned a lot, but I'm pretty busy with work, music and other projects. I don't play it at all, and I figured I would get rid of it. I will warn you it does have some issue with...

im using a custom wii case made by blake3dcake 3d print files I added support for the disc and light around it by using a soldering iron to melt the plastic and a dremel to sand it down and cut down the wii disc drives light. I also added a gamecube logo to the jewel in blender This is a...

I soldered in an area I wasn't supposed to an accidentally ripped it off. The Wii works fine except for the video signal. Does anyone know how to get video signal out of a Wii that is messed up like this?

I'm looking to attach a screen to an untrimed wii and then attach it to a custom wii shell. I just want a method of wiring a screen to it, I would also be ok with screen recomendations.

I've been posting about this on Discord for far too long, so I figured it was finally time for me to make a worklog. (Thanks @SimplyStevii) This console started out back in August last year, as a rough recreation of the UltraWii Sakura, since I was impatient and didn't want to wait for Yveltal...

Hello! I'm currently looking for a simple and affordable first Wii portable, my budget is $200 and I know literally nothing about desiging portables.

Hello! Long time lurker... Finally decided to give it a shot and build a portable. For obvious reasons I decided to go with an Ashida. Even with all the hard work from the community making this build as streamline as it is, it's still a heck of a challenge, but I'm having a ton of fun with it...

Hi I am currently doing my first mod and am curious about the U10 relocation as I watched two different video where one person did relocate the u10 and one didn’t so I’m just curious on weather I should do it or not?

I have some generic Sn99.3/Cu0.7 (Not SN100C, it's older than that) lead-free solder and flux from a few years ago that works fine for through-hole, but it's 1.0mm and I've already failed using it for anything SMD that's more complicated than 0805 passives. Any recommendations for a lead-free...

Hi so I am a student in high school and as my capstone project for the class I have decided to build an Ashida Wii my teacher liked the idea and I have been wanting to do something like this for a while. Unfortunately when downloading pvloader I came upon an issue with the IOS36-64-v3608.wad not...

Good morning everyone, I asked these questions in the Discord server, but I also wanted to ask them here in case anyone in the future has these issues! Assistance with these issues is greatly appreciated! I've just about finished my third Ashida and I've run into a few issues that I have not had...

So the Wii Direct Drive is pretty darn expensive and I dont really see any quality benefits in comparison to the FujiFlex and HDMI driver board combo. The problem with that however is that the driver boards are big, bulky and unneccessary and mostly use rtd2660 chips or derivatives which are...

Hello everyone ! I just have some weird problems with my Ashida: When the SCW and SDW wires are connected to my Wii, RVLoader boots. But after only a half second, the signal's gone. Then the screen shuts down. I thought it was just a crash. Howerver, I was able to connect a Wiimote. The weird...

Hey there, I’ve been working on an Ashida and recently trimmed my motherboard and have been having issues getting it to start. Currently, when I try to start the Wii, I feel it getting warm but when I tested it with my multimeter while the Wii was powered on, I was not getting any current from...
