As the title states, this is a Wii portable inside a GBA shell. This has been my dream portable for a while, which I have always been putting off for later. The goal is to have a near 1:1 replica of the GBA, but as a GameCube-themed Wii portable. Because of the size constraints, I had to cut back on some things. This is primarily for novelty. Here are the target specs:

3.0" composite LCD
LMAO trimmed Wii
Wheel potentiometer for volume
Sliding switch for power
RVL-PMS 2
RVL-AMP
GC+ 2.0
Dual Tact triggers
Original GBA side wings and buttons
PS-Vita joysticks
Resin-printed shell
2 1500 mAh batteries for at least an hour of playtime.
Special thanks to @CrazyGadget for providing the Wii trim + Nand & U10 relocations, because I couldn't trust myself to use a dremel, and to @Wesk for providing the GBA shell scans, which I used to make my design.



So far, I printed out a test shell and soldered on most of the RVL-PMS connections.
