Enough room in there to use a gutted ds4 mainboard and wiring in the wii u's native sticks and buttons to it? Would be neat to have the motion controls using ds4windows drivers withe motion controls now built in to latest cehuhook. Also, what touch panel are using over that screen?

Hi banjo,

first off awesome work. I like it.
Guess i do have a new project for me.
How much did you overall aproximately spend on this?
And could you link me to the parts u used?
Regarding the Display since u used a 2k Display wouldnt it be more powersaving to use a 1080p Display?
Is the last board in your pictures the one which says MG Design a custom board by yourself? Or is it a bought part?

Kind Regards,

TuxTaker

Parts will cost around 300£ + cost of any compute stick :D
I could use 1080p but the supplier sent me instead 2k one and 300mA is as low as you can get from 6inch lcd.
The board is a custom design I have made to avoid tapping into original pcb and to separate power button with different ground.

Wow. Great work. This tops your Pi build. How did you get Cemu to run on an Intel graphics card? It says on their website that Intel is not supported and will result in "heavy visual glitches."

So far I have tested couple of games like mario, mario maker, donkey kong, mario kart, captain toad and no glitching at all :D so intel inside compute stick is good enough.

Hey, is it possible to get a more detailed breakdown of your battery setup? Any kind of circuit diagram would be a big help. Also what USB DAC did you use? I'm thinking about doing something similar to this but with an UpBoard, and their both rated at the same 5V 3A. Thanks.

You can use any USB dac from ebay with PCM2704

This is the schematic I have posted on my WII U RPI blog

Alright, so I might be making a complete fool of myself, but I haven't found anything else on something like this. Would it be possible to splice 5V out of the VBUS in type C to charge and power the stick while keeping the functionality of the type C port? This is something I came up with based on your battery layout and a couple Type C pinouts. Type C connections are wrong, but the idea is there.
