Ghosts the shiild concept (discontinued)

[Mc moron mods]

Hello, I am currently working on my own portable Wii call the Shiild what is basically a Wii put into the Nvidia shield handheld so I’m just gonna upload the concept art of it

This is a concept of when it’s open and it’s basically the Nvidia shields parts besides like the actual boards and screen but I’m gonna change the buttons in the center and I’m going to use a 480p screen instead of the regular touch screen that it regularly.

as for the back it will have usb type c charging and to add roms you will need to disassemble it to pull out the micro sd card and it will have the basic headphone jack and it might have Bluetooth but I don’t really know yet.

Why not do what's done on the GC nano and use a USB switch to allow you to access the internal SD card through the same cable? It uses the PI3USB221A IC as the USB MUX.

I'd recommend using the RVL PD 2 or 3 from 4LayerTech. https://4layertech.com/collections/modular-line/products/pms-pd-3
It allows you to directly plug it into your computer to transfer files.

Both are currently out of stock at the moment though.

i have stopped working on this project due to the BOM being worth more than my parents grocery bill andd due to my understanding of foldables being low and not knowing what do about the triggers but if anyone wants to do it you can and maybe you can use my "sketches" as a rough draft but either way im not working on this anymore.

U should continue this

 

[Mc moron mods]

I might after once I get a stable income but I might not use the Nvidia shield as the base design

 

[marizzerdontmods]

What do you plan on designing it after

 

[Mc moron mods]

Maybe just frankencasing something together, I might do my own design depending on if my modeling skills ever get better

 

[marizzerdontmods]

will u use old parts or use wtv will be relevant at the time

 

[Mc moron mods]

I’m gonna use whatever is easy to use and works

 

[marizzerdontmods]

Is it gonna be themed after anything?

 

[Mc moron mods]

Good question, I’m considering giving it interchangeable cover plates like the new Nintendo 3ds has

 

[marizzerdontmods]

Are you going to put a sensors in the portable?

 

[Mc moron mods]

Depending on the size I might and if I can’t I’ll try and make a accessory To mount a wireless sensor bar to it

 

[marizzerdontmods]

Will it still be a foldable

 

[Mc moron mods]

hopefully I will

 

[marizzerdontmods]

Will it use actual joysticks

 

[Mc moron mods]

Not likely because that makes it thicker, but if the case is has enough extra room I will

 

[marizzerdontmods]

Are you gonna put the Wi-Fi, MX, Bluetooth etc chips in?
