    Wii Laptop 2.0

    Hello everyone! This is an update to a project I started nearly 2 years ago and thought I was done, only to have the board completely fry when I attempted to run letterbomb. By that point that was I believe the 3rd board that had gone bad, so I hung the project up indefinitely. Fast forward to...

There are very minor cracks in the bottom that are just barely...

    Wii Laptop (COMPLETED)

    After two months, and two wii motherboards, I finally finished my Wii laptop, mostly anyway. I have a few kinks to get out, but it is put together and functional. I used the ZN-40 and ZN-45 cases from Polycase and spray painted it a gloss gray color. Nothing fancy as far as features. I'm in...

    Wii works fine, but has no green Led light?

    I asked this in my progress thread, but wasn't sure if anyone would see it there. The wii I'm working on works fine, power up, as far as I can tell everything is good. But the led doesn't then green when it is on. It has the red light when it is off, but when I power it on, the led just turns...

    Wii Portable V2.0 Progress and Questions

    So, I posted a few questions about possible batteries for the new wii portable I'm making, and decided just to make a general thread for progress and questions because I don't want to make a bunch of different topics (mods, you can combine the battery topic with this one if you want) With that...

    I'm making my second wii portable, focusing more on aesthetics this time as I plan to sell this one. I want to put an internal battery in this one so it will be completely portable. I know it has to have 12v output to work with the wii, but does anyone have any recommendations? Also what would...

    Wii Laptop

    Hi everyone. This is my first post on the forums. I just finished my first portable system a few days ago. I basically modded the board a bit, took off a few components, and attached a screen to the existing Wii housing. Right now it runs off a charger still, but I will be putting a portable...
