This is super neat even though it's basically just running the main board plugged into peripherals - I already knew the main board was pretty small but it's still surprising seeing it sitting on a table.
Makes me wonder what you could do with a case the size of a wii (or even a mini wii). Plenty of space for cooling, a 2.5" SSD bay, and I'm sure you could fit lots of other goodies in it too.
You know about the Kawaii? A Wii that can fit on your keyring! https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/kawaii.6474/
So... err... where do I put the disc?
It's kind of vague, but presumably it supports sd cards and/or a USB drive. The Wii is pretty easy to mod for digital "backups" from what I recall, and there were plenty of official digitally supported games (although I don't think that still works today).
Yeah that makes sense. Do you know if there's any more info about these projects? I'd love to know how they actually work under the covers but this post definitely seems aimed at people who already know a lot about the project!
No, that's the first I've heard of it too. That forum looks to be pretty active so maybe some insight can be gained there.
