Hacking Hardware Project Need help with a custom handheld

[TheDuck3000]

I am making a Wii handheld and need some help with a few parts:
- How can I connect a screen (https://www.ebay.com/itm/251878770018?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) to my trimmed wii?
- What is the easiest and least expensive way to add power to the handheld? I need a charging circuit and regulator circuit.

Another quick question: once I fully trim the board, how can I sync a wii remote? Is there some sort of software button in RVLoader?

Would it be possible to reuse the regulators the Wii comes with?

If you want something cheap, a Wii2HDMI adapter will work. Otherwise use something like a WiiDual or similar for the best quality.

Pick one or the other.

A reminder that if you have an internal battery, it can be a literal bomb if the power circuit is poorly set up.

Just use the boards people already made. Much smarter people have perfected this years ago.

Sure, if you don't trim the motherboard at all and plug 12v / 14v straight in.


I suggest reading all of the guides on BitBuilt, which is a forum dedicated to making portables.

Do you think Allah's cultists would enjoy playing Wii games? Asking for a few friends...

But yeah, I recommend already created schematics. Don't fuck around with batteries if you don't know what you're doing, and even if you do, wear some degree of armour. The Lord doesn't generally do stupidity insurance.

So a different screen with VGA / Composite / Component would be better. Do you know another one I can use that would work good in a WiiU gamepad?

If I were to use my own regulators, where can the parts the cheapest? Also where can I get the specific resistors?

Also, is there a way I could use a RP2040 to emulate a Gamecube controller?

I have also already checked BitBuilt too
