Hardware PD4Wii, PD4WiiU - A DIY USB-C replacement for the Wii and Wii U power adapter

does an iphone charger work ?

If the charger delivers enough power...then it should work. But I bought a 65w charger and am happy with it.

and 12v at 2.5 a

So turns out I've only got a notification about new posts in here now, wonderful... So anyway...

Maybe? Entirely depends on if that charger supports outputting the required voltage and amperage. Check what's written on the back of the back or the specs sheet of the brick. For all we know you could be talking about like some ancient 30-pin iPhone charger from way back when.

If it supports outputting the required voltage for the console at at least 3a then yes. Only thing that *might* work with 2a or 1.5a (at 12v!!!) would be the final revision (RVO-CPU-10) of the Wii Mini which draws just above 12 Watts during game play.

this is better than the ZYPDH ?

That entirely depends on what you're trying to actually do. If its just playing on an unmodified console, a PDC004 will be just fine with it's limit of 3a at voltages below 20v (USB-PD does not officially support >3a on below 20V). If you'll want to play an overclocked Wii U you may want to use ZYPDH with a QC compliant charger because QC supports 5a (or maybe even 7a?) on voltages below 20v.

and the kind of power supply with multiple usb c and usb outpout that sit on your desk, do you know one that is good and that cost not to much and that can handle 100 w

it will softmod because right now i don't have a power supply for a wii so prefer to create an usb c charger

it will be mod with nintendont for external controller (ps4, switch and ps3)

Instead of printing a dongle like this (which is a good alternative), I would recommend to buy a USB c cable from aliexpress. Or solder in the USB c board directly and mount it with this piece from this reddit thread. Looks nice imho. And no cutting required.

You can find ready to use USB-C cable for WiiU or Wii on AliExpress. About 6$.

 

[Esdeath]

Just be careful with those all in one aliexpress cables and double check the voltage and pin layout.

There's a v3 of the STLs available for download now. The part that goes into the Wii U console is dimensionally more accurate than the previous versions and instead of being screwed together it's meant to be glued together now. The part of the print that houses the PD decoy has been made larger too, now being as long as the grey part of the original AC adapter of the console making it easier to fit the thicker wires needed to safely pull 5 amps using a ZYPDH on a Wii U. V3 parts should also be stronger than their older counterparts, making it less likely that they break off.

I'd like to thank @BaamAlex for helping me out in testing the new design and providing me with honest feedback. Thanks man!
