Totokan's official 'PiiWii' topic

totokan · Post by **totokan** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 6:55 pm

Ok, so I'm making a Portable Wii. Dubbed the PiiWii, I need it to do three things:
1) dock to my normal Wii until I get a mod-able one
2) Have screen with built in sensor bar
3) Have Batteries
Hopefully, this temporary setup will do until I get a permanantly moddable Wii. Anybody have ideas part-wise? I'll need help with info on power output, as my multimeter is out of commision for now. Also, Video Out with sensor bar is probably the easiest part. All I need to do is add 2 or 4 IrLED's to a screen

Hope you do it as a portable wii is a cool idea (I pretty much want to do the same thing with my wii

just make a dock and bring it with me everywhere.

As usual, you say; "Cool idea, good luck with that!"
Of course, I have asked for help, not moral support. If I wanted that, I'd go bother people I actually live with. Also, SS, your lack of n64 DS emu (or is it DS n64 emu?) by 2 months is astounding

Well then all that you want to have is a psone screen with ir's on each side and a case that holds the batteries on the bottom that's connected to the screen and go's under the wii. Then have a plastic box type thing and put the ports in the proper placesso that you can just plug your wii in and it will work.

Yeah, that's what I said in the first post. I'd like to use a larger screen, but , Unfortunatly, I've no idea where to start looking for a good one. I also need to figure out how the power is supplied to the Wii, and my lack of multimeter screws that up. Finally, I'd need to figure out exactly what capacity battery and what physical size battery I could use. Physical size wouldn't be much of a problem, as far as I can tell, as the screen's size should end up being the largest part.

My Idea. Do not alter your Wii in anyway (if possible) instead just make a dock around the Wii to make it into a laptop. Just need battery and screen and wiring. You can get some cash for that custom job. (unless Ben beats you to it)

He said he was doing this in his first post very very clearly...

good news is the wii has been proven to work on screens down to 1.5"!

SCREEN SIZE DOESN'T MATTER!!!

It's all about the width of the IR leds! It doesn't matter if the screen is .5" or 55"!
