PTH08080 are generally the go to for basic switching regs.

What are you building a battery pack for? There are boards that allow you to have charge and play through a single port, check out this thread. There is a lot of information, but it's all really, really good. The other issue you're going to run into, is the fact that we haven't found a board...

Yep, that PCB should work fine for protecting your batteries. One thing to note though, is that it doesn't have battery balancing circuitry, unless I overlooked something. With a 2s2p configuration like that, you should e perfectly fine without one so long as you always charge and discharge...

Yo walle, what's up. He didn't put hours into his frankencase just to 3D print it. You still have no reputation whatsoever. (The front face of an old Ashen portable isn't enough) Don't get banned here please.

3D printing :p. Used it for my case and was so happy to not have to cut up controllers, epoxy them in there, try and make it smooth, and all that fun stuff. The whole TI designs idea is neat, but power regulation for the Wii is pretty custom. I doubt there's a good pre made board for that...

Good luck with this, it'll definitely be a challenge. The frankencasing alone almost gives me a heart attack just thinking about it. When you mentioned your custom regulator board, do you already have the parts picked out for each line and know how you're going to design it? I've also been...

If you can't spend the money to buy a used console, you probably won't have the money to build a portable. The console is generally the cheapest part of building a portable. I'm finishing up a Wii portable, and for my first portable I've spent almost $450 on parts and $150 on tools. And...

Wii2HDMI and similar products are not good for portables. I got a generic adapter for my portable, but when I tested it on my screen, it looked just as bad as composite, and far worse than component. They are also EXTREMELY difficult to solder to correctly, and they use up more power than it's...

Hmm..... Let me think for a moment. Little micro computer.... Wii.... No.

Yeah, we won't because you clearly don't know what you're talking about... All the Homebrewing methods that work (other than the installation of a Wiikey or something similar) require an SD card. Game exploits all require a special save file or something on an SD card in order to get to the...

He said that a battery pack would be impractical because of the large amounts of power his system needs.

You may have to *gasp* earn your own money. Using non PTH08080 regs is a sure fire way to fail. They overheat super easily and are prone to not working. There is no way that you're going to build a complete Wii Portable off of that budget. Compromising with poor quality materials will ruin...

May as well add some generic piano music to the background to make it feel more like a silent movie.
