Worklog Ryan's wii portable

[Toaster912]

You might get this a lot but I didn't know trimming the motherboard was this hard. Also how do I test my PTH08080s with the multimeter to see if they are working or not?

You will need something that provides 7-12v, so a variable power source would work. Wire ground on the regulator to ground on the supply, and wire power on the supply to the voltage in part of you regulator. Put your black lead anywhere on ground and your red lead on voltage out, and you should get a number close to the voltage. If you don't get a number, make sure you don't have any Bridges on your board.

The power supply that comes with the wii is 12v, and can (obviously) supply enough power to run a wii.

Hi, does anyone know how many Ohm resitors and wires I should need?

Um... A lot. Get some 22 gauge wire, some 34 gauge wire, and a fat pack of resistors. There are no specific quantities of anything, a roll of each wire should be sufficient. You will be glad you got a lot of resistors.

Some people suggest using stranded wire instead of solid, since it's more flexible, but I think that's really just a matter of personal preference. Make sure to get some thin magnet wire like Ginger said in any case: http://www.remingtonindustries.com/magnet-wire/magnet-wire-34-awg-2-oz-1011-length/
And try to buy a resistor assortment. You'll use 'em, trust me! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5Y76XX/

So just get all of those and I will be good for relocating the stuff for my motherboard? thanks

So, for the PTH08080s, you'll need specific resistors to get the right voltages. For the 1V regulator you need an 87 kilohm resistor. One that's 88 or 90 kilohms will work. For the 1.15V line, get a 33 kilohm resistor. You need a 1.8 kilohm resistor for the 3.3V line, and a 330 ohm for the 5V line if you decide to use a PTH08080 for it. Try to get 5% or 1% resistors, not 10%. The lower the percentage, the more accurate the resistor's value.

Thanks man

No problem. Just be sure to browse through the old threads. I'm more than happy to help out, but just so you know, a lot of your questions will be answered by reading through other folks' questions!

Just another question, do you have any links to some work logs? I tried finding some but they didn't really have any pictures of the internals showing at all.

For sure. Jackson's Wii SP portable has some of the best and cleanest internals in my opinion: https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/wii-sp.323/

Thanks so much! I'll be sure look at that!

UPDATE: Custom regulators came in, ordering tact switches, flip switches, resistors and compactors. Does anyone know how to do spoilers? Lol.

Word. Click Insert > Spoiler.

I could dream my wii portable could be like this

Then make it happen. What's your plan for constructing it?

 

[GingerOfOz]

Then make it happen

Honestly though, that's totally doable. You've got an OMG trim, so fitting it all in there wouldn't be an issue.
