I've seen those Wii cases before, and scoffed that they were utterly useless... Boy was I wrong.

You should connect the usb's power supply with the wii's, since it isn't a usb powered hd,but then what'll be the point in that?What you could do is find a usb power cable that fits into the back outlet of the hd and connect it to the wii, I remember seeing one of those on a laptop cooler,That could make it usb powered if it worked,but use up the 2 usb ports.
Btw this looks awesome, please post tutorial, I have everything even the fan now I just need step by step instructions.

Guys, I got laid off and need cash. If any of you would like to buy this case/stand I'll sell it to you.

I can sell it with my 120 gig hdd in it (but I'd have to delete the games

) or pull my hard drive and just sell the modded case and power supply.

My email is [email protected] if you wanna send me an offer. I can accept paypal or snail mail payment. We can even do the transaction through e-bay if it makes you feel more secure.

just the case?
you know now I wonder to myself after reading the cases review how is this portable if the wii can fall of, though I really want it and at the same time I'm thinking that I have the same setup, usb next to wii and it just doesn't look as pretty, yet its so awesome!

Like I said, I flipped the lid open and my kids played it... alot. It would get very warm to the touch but I wouldn't call it hot. I also have a 1TB My book for my Wii and it doesn't have a fan at all. I have a USB fan I planned to install in the bottom of it but I just haven't found the need to so I held off.

It is neat looking, there is no doubt about that.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
