The Wiikey uses an FPGA, so Arduino is out of the question. Whoever designed it reverse engineered the Wii/GC DVD interface and did not share any of their information. I'm sorry, but no one is going to be recreating that because there is little to no demand and very few people have the skill and...

GCVideo is accessible enough now that I don't believe this is an issue. In fact, GameCube is the only one with a publically available solution to output 480p VGA. You need VGA (or HDMI), not component, since component LCDs are virtually nonexistent.

As far as I can tell, that LCD driver board is capable of taking S-Video or composite video input, both of with the GameCube have. Though I can't really tell where those connection points are. I have to imagine they're in the white connector sitting below the LCD connector.

I started messing with GameCubes when I joined here 5 or 6 years ago and it led me to a lot of new hobbies. I was only in 7th grade back then, now I'm graduating high school, so it feels like ages ago. I don't think I'm "OG" but I remember following the evolution of GC mods and it's a little sad...

You could write a simple program to do this on something like an Arduino Nano or a PIC microcontroller. You may need to cut the trace between the button contacts and the IC so that you can fully control when it does or doesn't trigger.

There are some other 3rd party options, like the SH350 portable dock made by Coov. It's on Amazon. It only has one USB port, but you can probably attach a USB hub. It has the added benefit that it can be powered by any power source, even a regular 5V phone charger. I don't know if the Nyko dock...

The ad for the Pelda Pro Switch case shows video being displayed on the portable screen and the TV simultaneously. I'm almost certain that's impossible, so I wouldn't trust it unless there is more proof that it can function that way.

You're right that the USB C port can be used for data even without the dock if you have an adapter. What causes the switching is not just a simple transfer of power; the Switch goes into TV mode when it is able to communicate with the hardware in the dock, which will happen whenever the dock is...

I like this idea. I think you could use the laptop casing from a small laptop the same width as the Switch, although that would probably be a lot thicker than you need. The only issue I see with this is that you can't prevent the Switch from going into TV mode when the charger is plugged in. So...

I don't know if anyone has them or if anyone has posted them elsewhere. I'll say it before anyone else does: it's probably easier and cheaper for you to build a Wii portable since there is a lot of documentation on those and no Wiikey required. Otherwise I hope you can find the diagrams.

Yes, you can do that. I did it for one portable and it looked really good, far better than composite video, but it may not if you don't get a good adapter as mentioned above. It does use an excessive amount of power. The best HDMI option for Wii is GCVideo. There's information regarding that on...

What is the convert you're using? All of the HDMI to TTL decoders I've seen don't scale the video, so the input video has to be exactly the same resolution as the screen or it may not work. The board should be able to provide power to the screen without any soldering.

I just PMd you the schematic I have. I hope it helps.

I have only ever used ABS and it is very sturdy with 2.5 mm thick walls. I have heard that PLA works well too, but you might need to make thicker walls because PLA is more brittle. Regardless, I recommend 3D printing over vacuum forming. Vacuum forming requires that you cut out all the holes by...

I use OSHPark. When you order, you have to order a minimum of 3 of the same PCB. It's $5 per square inch (that's for all 3 PCBs, not just 1) and usually takes about 2 weeks to arrive. Since the price is dependent upon size, it's totally up to you what it costs. Mine costs $60 for 3 PCBs because...

Yes, this is basically what I did for my Wii SP portable, except I didn't include a nunchuck option. You have a couple of options with this. 1. Cut power AND ground off from whatever controllers aren't being used. It's important for the controllers to be as isolated as possible from each other...

It's just an adapter. It's only good for a device that accepts YPbPr through a VGA connector, which Dalian screens do not.
