Ive been thinking about building a wii portable for coming up on 6 years now basically since covid but didn't have the soldering skills or money required back then (arguably I still don't have either of those things).
I have a very rough plan I've been cooking up:
Trim: Not decided yet but if space allows id rather go for the OMGWTF trim (Definitely not the OMEGA trim that is beyond me)

Screen: 5-6 Inch TPS display not decided specifics yet

Battery's: Between 2 18650s or a 10,000mah Li-Po from something like an Anker 313 I'm leaning towards this because that seems to be most cost effective option

Power Delivery: I know this will sacrifice a lot of battery life but I'm just going to use some buck converters as its cheap if there are any majour problems with this other than heat and battery life please let me know

Charging: i have a bag of standard lithium battery chargers (i think these ones) i believe these should work fine

Controls: instead of using the GC+ im going to use a pi pico as it has the same number of gpio pins as the GC+ has input pins

Audio: Im going to use some cheap laptop speakers & a cheap audio driver board possibly with bluetooth but most likely not

Other Features:
  • HDMI output on the bottom next to usb-c port for docking
  • Bluetooth relocation so i can still connect Wiimotes
  • IR LEDs for on the go gaming
For the design i saw the Wii U revival concept art made by Yanko Design and thought it looked cool so my design will be loosely based of of that

My wii should be here by the weekend ready for me to trim I'll update then
 
That Yanko Design looks really cool. Are planning to 3D print the case or CNC machining?
