Every thing is so tightly packed, but at the same time incredibly clean and tidy. It's all laid out so well. Screw posts, neat wire paths, and so much more to appreciate. I love this project so far. Cannot wait to see it complete.
Hey guys 
Long time no see. I hope you are all doing well!
Unfortunately I had to pause the project for the past few months... My new workingplace is not finished yet![:\](/forums/../images/smilies/uneasy.png "Uneasy :\")
And on top of that it seems the Wii is broken 
. I don't get any video signal from it... Neither from the component nor the composite (if I remember that correctly xD)
I will have to order a new Wii to continue my work. So this will take a while
Thats it for the moment. I will post updates asap.

So I bought a "new" Wii as replacement... Unfortunately it seems to be softmodded once. As I tried to run the cheese installer an error occured and the whole thing shut down. A bit of try and error let me manage to run the installer a second time, now with a different error message 
Do you guys know a way to restore the Wiis isos (and everything necessary) to default? As far as I know this doesn't work with a simple update.

Also, since cheese installer is probably not happy about the failed install, delete everything on your SD and copy it all back from the zip you downloaded. If you don't have that zip anymore, just put the correct region and any mac address and you'll be good.

Half a year has passed 
.
But I finally got the time (and motivation) to resume my work on this portable.
Pic as prove
New mainboard is in. Also the Wii2HDMI had to be replaced. I made some modifications for the layout.
Not so clean like the first one, but it will (hopefully) work anyways.
Update:
It's working

Is it possible, that the WiiHUD can get really hot? I think it has blown :/
What happened: I ran the Wii for half a minute or so and suddenly it shuts down. I wasn't able to start it again. The WiiHUD was very hot (some hot glue on top of it has melted) and only after desoldering it the Wii turned on again.
I am rather sure that it was my fault... But I'd like to understand what I did wrong. The WiiHUD was fully soldered, only the speakers were not connected.
And on top of that I can't get the GC+ working -.-*
Nor can I get any original controller to work.
I'm going to sleep

That looks really great
I also had the idea to build a WII switch and wanted to try this as a second project,
but I was playing with the idea to make the controller removable
And finally a German-speaking member: D
Hmm this is new to me, I never had one of those amp getting hot. Can you post a picture of the wiring? Also sadly I don’t have replacement ones. I can order parts for it, but it will take a whileIs it possible, that the WiiHUD can get really hot? I think it has blown :/

lol - and he is not alone
I have some pretty ambitious ideas for the next portable, if I were to make one ever again.
Practically the same design as my Swiitch, but with the focus on Wii games. Detachable controllers (nunchuck and wiimote), working wirelessly. Would be fun to design that thing.
Unfortunately so many things broke in my current portable that I'm dwarfed to build another one.

Got a litte overview for you.
The video doesn't have the best quality, but it gives an overview of the nearly finished product.
Still missing: Sound.
Got some pros and cons on this device, but I will talk about them tomorrow.
I'm happy with the result
