Been wanting to make this for a bit, maybe I'll actually finish it this year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Goals:
So far I have most of the parts in, waiting on the plastic bit that covers the camera hole, the bezel piece, regulators, audio amp, heatsink, and some other parts I probably haven't thought of yet...
I got myself a usb battery bank from Walmart, 20$ for 10,000mAh ain't bad. Almost immediately ripped it apart, two flat cells in parallel, with a fairly tiny protection/regulation/charging pcb. It has a 2.5A and a 1A output, perfect for the Wii and it's components.
My trimmed Wii from last year's content is still screwed up, so I'm gonna trim another one. I'm still using the messed up Wii to make sure everything will fit when I put the new Wii in there, after this I'll fix it, but I don't want to in this portable
I've started to lay everything out inside, and so far it all fits! I should be able to fit the rest of the stuff, since there is a decent amount of space around the sides that is open for stuffing. I need to try and get the weight a little more even though, the battery makes the right side heavier to the point that you can actually tell when holding it... May end up putting some weight in the left wing of the shell to even it out
Goals:
- Look as stock as possible
- Last as long as a gamepad (at least 3 hrs)
- Work
- Come up with a good name

It looks amazing, exactly what i need. I cant possibly mess this up. How expensive is it gonna be? Or hasnt that been decided?
