I realize I might be too late to the party, but I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a clear shell for the Wii. I like the look of seeing the internal components, but I can't seem to find one to purchase.
Hardware Where to get clear Wii shell?

The shipping cost will be too high.

post some updates on your findings, I was going to order one myself but I'm looking for a wiiu one (cant find them)
Sure, when it finally comes in I'll take pictures before and after transferring the Wii.
My only concern is the power LED. My Wii is in my bedroom, and I might end up transferring the power button, but I'll see how everything looks with it all clear.

Ok, it came in much earlier then expected.
Got this it all installed. FYI, I kept the original slot bezel for the duct cover. The replacement didn't have one. I also kept the original sync button because the aftermarket one is a real bright red.
EDIT : This is the exact one I ordered -https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32916717909.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.cdf919974k3V4h

Very cool, I'll probably order one soon, I believe my dust cover/cd loader is red I changed it years ago. For the price you can't complain I guess
Thanks, I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Where did you get the dust cover? I would like to replace the white plastic with the clear one, but I don't want to loose the dust cover.

I honestly can't remember, probably aliexpress but it was around thetime of the wii's initial launch date, so nearimpossible to find without a deep dive.
I'mcurrently trying to find a ipl loader for my gamecube so i can boot swiss without game or burnt DVD and having no luck

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't had any luck finding the dust cover, so I think I'm stuck with the white plastic if I want one. I have checked aliexpress with no luck so far.
Kinda sucks, but it could be a lot worse.
I have no unfortunately don't even know what a gamegabe is, so I wouldn't know where to start looking.

Do GameCube-style cases exist for the Wii?
I have a white Wii and I'd not mind switching it although the black Wii will stay as is. Consoles in black look great.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
