To Wii, or not to Wii

[PalmerTech]

I have a Wii. I am making a portable.

Should I go the easy way and make it normal sized? Or should I wait for Tchay to sand his mobo, then painstakingly rewire everything?

 

[Joeyjoe9876]

make it as small as possible.

edit: changed my vote lol.

 

[robm]

Just make the Dang thing.

It'll be the first Wii portable, at least so far as I know. Small ones can come later.

If you make an amazing one now and a more amazing one later, it'll be like breaking your own world record. Also, more publicity.

 

[zeturi]

Just make one. Perfectionism will make you take a long, long time. And you're more prone to breaking something vital on accident. I wanna see a Wiip!

does everyone forget about SS's Car battery Wiip? it is technically portable and running off a battery

 

[βeta]

No.

 

[PalmerTech]

No integrated controls for SS.

Fine, fine, I will just finish this. I seriously have all the guts running, so I just need to make a case.

One more thing: 7", 4.3" widescreen, or 5"?

 

[snowpenguin]

Isn't the 4.3" screen a higher res than the 5"?


Go for the largest screen you can fit in your case, and make your case as small as possible without going out of your way and trimming the mobo to flax, etc.

 

[zeturi]

Whichever has the best picture with the wii.

 

[XCVG]

4.3" widescreen, because it'll have integrated controls which screams singleplayer.

EDIT: It's the one with integrated controls right?

 

[PalmerTech]

Yep.

I am going 5", gonna save the 4.3" for the smaller one.

 

[samjc3]

is the 5" the alibaba one?

 

[PalmerTech]

Naw. It is one of those RicketTheShadow screens.

 

[samjc3]

oh. where did he get those? they are psone equivalent quality, right?

 

[PalmerTech]

He got a bunch on ebay a long time back in early '09. They are excellent quality.

 

[Tchay]

STOP! WAIT!

Why? Because I am beginning to catch up in school AND Spring break is in 3 weeks for me

I could have made a Gamecube portable months ago, but I have taken much longer to make it small and badass. I say you wait and do the same with the Wii.
