- My new and improved Wii mainboard trimming guide.
Based on Bitbuilt's guide:
bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php...
This video took me a while but it was necessary for newer projects.
Now that I've made new, trimmed board, I can finally make some new cool stuff using wii's components.
Voltage regulator resistor values can be found here:

This is great to see a full trim guide finally on youtube but one thing I recommend is to relocate or at least remove u10 (or u9) before trimming so you don't accidentally damage it.
Yeah. That’s pretty good idea. I don’t know why I didn’t relocate it before cutting.
It’s probably better just to use u10 emulation on the pms lite from 4layer
@@ashykinsu10 Emulation? So you don't need to relocate it at all?
@@nytrouz_original depends on if you have the PMS 2 or lite from 4layer or not
@@ashykins They are the same, relocation is more reliable most people don't even use it when its available
Excellent video, I think it is the only one that explains with certainty all the steps to follow.
Maybe you will make the guide of how to adapt a GC control?
Thanks! I’m planning to do that in the future as well as custom voltage regulator board.
Manolo.... Thank you... I've been going at this for weekends and weekends. Probably 60 hours at this point.
I've watched this video over a dozen times. Studying every detail.
I just got my first Wii trim(3rd cut, killed the first 2) to boot! Time to add USB now!
I’m glad it finally worked out! It’s always awesome to see new portables.
Hardware people are a rare breed. We salute you!
Love the video, getting excited to try this myself. Any chance you can link the power connector? Want to move incrementally and want to make sure things turn on before wiring up batteries. Thanks in advance
Great Vid, Wanted to ask about how you tested the Wii. Did you just solder the video from an av cable to ground and that capacitor?
I'm planning on making a portable wii in the future and this just makes it seem a lot less daunting.
I’m glad it helped you out!
NICE! Thank you, that helped
Hello, excellent video, it was very helpful for me.
I have a question, do you know how to remove the black stripe that appears on the right side? I can't get the game to show full screen
Thanks!
Have you tried to change the aspect ratio to 16:9?
Maybe try other display ?
Hey again! I finally pulled the trigger on trying this and while I originally meant to keep my usb ports, some panicking after I trimmed made me cut them so I was trying to rewire a usb breakout board to the CM1 or CM2.
I've tried using 34 AWG Magnet wire and 36 AWG stranded wire for this and neither seems to be great, can I ask what gauge wire you used at 16:47? I and I'm assuming you didn't need to twist those wires because you already had a usb female cable that had that D+ / D- twisting built in for you?
This might be one of the most difficult resolders I've tried and I may not be able to continue past this point, but at least if I try again I want to have as much info as possible. Thanks!
Hi!
I’ve used a “Kynar wire” I don’t really know what gauge it is. I know for sure that it’s bigger than magnetic wire.
Hope that you’ve made the software changes before the trimming. Otherwise it won’t work
@@ManolloMancelli For sure! I ended up soldering straight to the traces instead of the CM1/CM2 with 34 AWG magnet wire, and it seems to work so far. I appreciate the reply though!!
What would be the way to reduce load times? As in, how would you store the games any way but usb?? Would using a larger sd and having the games play from there be faster?? Thanks for the video!
SD card could be faster but it would require additional wiring as you’d have to wire back the SD card slot. I don’t think it’s really worth it. USB load times are not so bad.
Can you make a tutorial on soldering to the u10 gpu via
What’s the difference between the red wire and blue wire? Why do I have to pick?
are you able to do this trimming as a service? i'm a bit too scared to do something like this myself.
great video. does motion sensor still work with this setup?
Thanks! It works but it's made primarily for GameCube games as it's designed for portable wii consoles
hey, if we enable VGA, (use h sync, v sync, Y PB PR pins)
Is vga disable yellow composite signal?
nice video btw
I have this question too
@@lun7n It doesn't disable composite but it does disable component video
4:11 My issue is that some of the WAD files are missing and I can only get one. The main one I'm missing is IOS58. Do you know a safe way I can get it?
(UPDATE) I'm now using a diffrent wii however it's a 6 layer. Is most pf the software the same?
Most software should be the same.
You can find IOS58 wad here :
wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS58_Installer
0:53 So my issue is I have a Wii without GameCube ports, but it's marked with "K02." Would that be a problem?
It shouldn’t be a problem since every wii motherboard has GameCube pins on the board. You just don’t have connectors soldered on.
@@ManolloMancelli Thank you!
What tool did you trim it with?
Regular rotary tool
I put the vga in yes what does it means?
From here can additional controllers be connected? This looks really cool but it's GameCube controllers I want to use.
You can connect up to 4 GameCube controllers. You’d just need to solder them to the board. There are connection pins available
@@ManolloMancelli do you have a resource you can link with schematics that highlight where to solder the connectors on a trimmed board?
People not using Magnet wire are the real modders
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
@@ManolloMancelli i mean Magnet wire
@@ManolloMancelli so many miracles
I try today make same thing of you but when I connect nothing happens on the screen 😭
Hello, tell me, I don’t understand what the numbers near the battery compartment of the tablet mean?
I think you mean the console revision code. Those tell you which console version you have
@@ManolloMancelli I don't know, 0:55 you have code 50 what does it mean? Can I cut my console as shown in the video?

Amazing ! I have Wii I want make this for make Wii portable un shall game pas Wii U ( sorry for my bad English )
Muy buen video!! espero que sigas subiendo sobre esta wi! yo estoy haciendo el mismo proyecto. tambien subir algun video en mi canal proximamente por si quieres verlo!. un Saludo
Yo i have my child hood wii that I recently broke when trying to fix the bluetooth module. Ik its fixable, but i was curious if anyone can turn into a portable without deleting the data thats on it. If possible, and if you could do it, how much would it be?
It has to be operational in order to install software required for trimming.
@@ManolloMancelli I can fix the port, but im more looking for an estimate right now, sorry i should of mentioned that.
@@thegaminggoblin1197 I would charge for trimmingabout 50 euro but you would have to buy all of the components like display, voltage regulators, batteries etc. There's also a matter of shiping costs as I live in Europe. You should ask on BitBuilt.net there are a lot of people that could help you out with this.
cool
I only came here for the real life dog cam.
i did everything according to the video but the rvloader or anything at all wont show up on the homebrew, i tried different usb drives
Have you followed the software guide on BitBuilt?
@@ManolloMancelli I've got it to run. Tried everything wasted so much time. The solution was pretty simple at first i put the whole folder on the drive, then after a lot of wasted time and frustration i just took all files from the rvloader folder and put it on the drive, then it worked.
This comment is to boost the TH-cam algorithm to get more people to see this video
This was excellent and gave me a lot more confidence into finally pulling the trigger on something like this.
I have a question about the voltage regulators, though: I bought the RVL-PSU from bitbuilt a while back, is that a more compact custom version of what you did with those three components + capacitors, etc? Just want to know if I need to get those components otherwise.
Thanks!
RVL-PSU is basically 4 converters combined into one board.
If you bought it then you’re good to go.
When I put my key usb with rvloader he say , don’t see USB key connected 😓
music made me piss my pant
I have a question, it's about the RVLoader. How do I install it? the 3 files shown, do I need to unzip all 3 to my usd drive? or just one?
You need to unzip only one file. 2 of them contains source code. Those are not needed. The one you need is named “RVLoader_1.5.zip”
@@ManolloMancelli Even though I unzip them in the root. It still won't load on the homebrew channel.
RVLoader*
based
Im too scared for this big and bulky is how ill make mine
but why...
For ultra portable/handheld builds.
I’m built different
your disassembly process made me severely uncomfortable
That makes me glad
HOW TO DESTROY A WORKING WII
