Anthony has easily become my favourite on this channel! He comes across as incredibly knowledgable and just and overall great guy. I'd love to see more projects like this in the future.
I think he does, all the time. Usually you don't see that much of it, though. Great vid. As everyone already said, Anthony is just damn awesome at what he does.
I love how Anthony teaches Linus things in every video, and Linus actually listens and values everything he says. I think Linus realizes how great of an employee he has
Anyone can with enough time and guts? Thats awesome! Cause I have plenty of time and guts, just no soldering skills or remote knowledge of hardware. Send me your components, ill get to work.
I'm shocked that you can cut out a small trapezoid from the Wii's motherboard and still have a working console when it's all said and done. I'm *really* impressed.
You do need to use a buncha jumper wires and add a specific resister in a certain spot, they probably didn't mention the complexity of this project because it might not do as well with views idk. For a more comprehensive demonstration that's really easy to follow, check out Spawn Wave's videos he did on the thing a week ago
@starshipeleven You forget the massive disk drive, gamecube connectors, all the IO etc etc. Lots of it is just massive ground planes because it was still analog video generation. It's actually a fairly chunky thing, with a surprisingly good weight balance.
Sure, they could have. And then they could have alll the same reliability issues. Or, they could pay 5$ more, get some pretty nice structural integrity, get spacing between all of the components, get lower interference (old style bluetooth is *noisy*, as is wifi a/b/g, as is...), make it much easier to deal with managing heat, increasing reliability... Lets face it, product design is not all marketing. making it smaller *could* be done, but in this way they got a really maintainable kit and could skip a lot of the hassles, not to mention that assembly costs are higher than pcb size costs.
I definitely want to see more content like this, I've found myself skipping a lot of the recent videos. There's only so many unboxing, laptop review, and phone reaction videos you can watch before you kind of stop caring. But this kind of thing is much more interesting, even if the number of people who would actually follow a guide like this are fairly few.
they put out daily a video. sure not everything will fit your kind . but its ok. this video production needs a lot of time, research, research, scripting, filming, assembling itself, and so on . you get my point . filler videos about phones are ok for me - since you dont have to click them :) and i agree 16 minutes linus playing dumb and showing some crap shit isnt entertaining. THe most akward thing was his air cooler for home. wtf....
While I do have both... I would not dare use either of them for this practice xD xD xD I will certainly destroy more than just the card xD xD I mainly use my soldering iron to replace worn soldering spots on motherboards and the like... and that's about It xD the dremel is used on wood and wood only xD
In theory dolphin runs even in less recent hardware, my OnePlus 6 can emulate 3DS with minimal stuttering but heating is still a major problem. I played until the first boss of the GameCube version of twilight princess too, not bad performance-wise but it struggles with bigger maps
A GPD Win 2 is what you are after, or wait a few more months for the GPD Win 3. My Win 2 plays GC & Wii games @ full speed 720p and looks and plays amazingly, same goes for PS2, Dreamcast. 3DS too but given the dual screen and 3D effect I much prefer to play 3DS and DS games on real hardware.
I like Anthonys hosting style! Calm and collected, and seems have a vast knowledge of all things tech. I want more in depth DIY nerdy things and more Anthony! Keep up the good work!
i dont think it would be all that hard, there will be guides on the internet and if you're the kinda guy who follows LTT and have tried fixing maybe your own keyboard in the past or setting up a pi hole i imagine it would be a lot of the same except more steps and soldering/cutting.

I'm not dumping $400 into making one of these myself, but I will watch this again because his DIY hackery makes me think hard about my own.
Hey Linus I doubt you read the comment section but I have been watching all your video's for years on my 6 year old gaming pc. This pandemic made me lose my job 6 months ago and I had to sell my gaming pc for 75 bucks just to make my rent this month. I do make it a point to head to my local library so I can hop on a computer and watch your latest video because it brightens up my day. Thanks for the content you bring into the community I hope you know that you at least make my day in these really difficult times.
You aren't the only one, I built a full size arcade but probably spent more hours building it than playing it. The building process already gave me a great sense of satisfaction, so playing it after or watching my son play it is almost an added bonus rather than the point.
I remember the first video I seen of this guy on one of Linus videos.. he was like super shy and I could tell he wasn’t in his comfort zone... now probs like a year later he’s a natural. Fair play bro your actually a legend! If I could go back in time I would of gone to college and I’d be just like you 🤙
Anthony you’re amazing, I love how you start to appear in videos whenever stuff starts to get too technical, keep it going and thanks Linus for giving this guy a chance!.
More Anthony for the love of the oc gods, dude seems to have lot of passion for community/homebrew projects like this one and I love them. I've been part of the homebrew/hacking scene for quite a while now and I know these kind of guys will totally appreciate the spotlight. Shoutouts to everybody that made it accesible for us mortals to get a portable Wii in hardware form.
Yea England always uses zed and not zee Americans have to be literal in their use of our language because they aren't that bright 😜 little example it's a pavement yanks be like oww my brain can't compute let's call it a side walk I walk on the side 😂
@@rumdrinkinpirate6107 I actually think it's kind of neat... it wasn't meant to be an insult or anything. I actually have said it that way in recent time myself.

There’s another reason too. Keep in mind, this isn’t emulating GameCube and Wii games, it’s running them on genuine hardware. This drastically increases the speed of emulation and reduces bugs associated with it.
I'm not going to be pulling apart my working Wii to make this one, but the idea is cool. Also, love the idea of Anthony doing more electronics project videos on the channel! Please show us more of the process of doing the build as well, I'm sure lots of people would find that useful.
I love the craziness of this project, and the amount of research that the creators put into this. It makes so much sense, but only because the board was designed very well. In vintage Japanese Hi-Fi equipment, there's also a beautiful seperation of each circuit (sometimes visibly outlined on the PCB, or cut into seperate boards for easy replacement); ("this part is for power, this part amplifies, this part is EQ, this part is output, etc") But to have the Cojones to start cutting up boards too... :) A big thank you to the entire homebrew scene, by the way. For making consoles and devices usable in more ways than were intended, and extending their life significantly and reducing e-waste. And thank you, Anthony. For making 'scary' in-depth mods like this.. Feel doable for noobs like myself He makes the learning curve seem worth it. And I'm sure he'll inspire many young people to pursue careers in electronics, coding, and engineering (or simply to become avid DIY repurposing geeks)
@@GonzoEnt Never, NEVER use a GC compatible Wii for mods. All Wiis natively support GC, and will run GC games with homebrew, so if you are going to mod one, use one that doesn't have GC ports on it.
GonzoEnt there’s another model of the wii without GameCube hardware. Gamecube’s are becoming rare and thus a means of playing their games are also becoming rare. Don’t even get me started on the GC controller.
I love how the main point, which is a really valid point, is that yes, there are better systems out there that can do the same thing a lot better for a lot less ... but did you build it?
I like how they had to clamp the G-Boy in position so Linus couldn't drop it.

Me: *a huge Wii fan* Finally a portable Wii!
Anthony: *builds it*
Me: nvm
You ain’t a huge Wii fan if you think the Gboy is the first portable Wii
@@sanmoon3543 Oh yeah I know there are more, but they're all kits and I thought this one wasn't going to be one
TJ Sell it might not be possible to make profit off all built modified systems in such manner as the gboy as the amount of Wii’s that would be needed to keep up with the demand would be too big!
@@sanmoon3543 Shout out to Kill Mii (not sure if it was the first but I digress)
@@1UPGamR That thing lasts like 10 minutes
Sees Linus with Twilight Princess:
“Ah yes, I see you are a man of culture.”
meanwhile I'm longingly looking at metroid prime in the top right corner ;~;
Wind Waker better
I love Anthony, He's the perfect Geek. Brilliant. Dry humor and just a total badass. Please keep including more of him. He is great. And the stuff finds is so out of what I would even dream of thinking about. I'm not dumping $400 into making one of these myself, but I will watch this again because his DIY hackery makes me think hard about my own.
Linus drops things so often that they've had to get a clamp to hold things for him 😂
i appreciate that the new intro is dark mode ... now do floatplane dark mode
It's probally dark mode because that is what Anthony probally uses, blinding white is for Linus....
I think it's more whatever editor
I thought LTT dark mode intro was for their gaming-related videos.
@@rowan-paul on the topic of editors, did aprime leave?
"You didn't build it, did ya?" I feel personally attacked Anthony.
Hey Linus I doubt you read the comment section but I have been watching all your video's for years on my 6 year old gaming pc. This pandemic made me lose my job 6 months ago and I had to sell my gaming pc for 75 bucks just to make my rent this month. I do make it a point to head to my local library so I can hop on a computer and watch your latest video because it brightens up my day. Thanks for the content you bring into the community I hope you know that you at least make my day in these really difficult times.
This was another great video from Anthony! Love to see his enthusiast taste come to light in these videos.
I feel like I would spend more time building this than actually using it.
Dario D'Aversa me too, but for me that's not unusual.
You aren't the only one, I built a full size arcade but probably spent more hours building it than playing it. The building process already gave me a great sense of satisfaction, so playing it after or watching my son play it is almost an added bonus rather than the point.
I remember the first video I seen of this guy on one of Linus videos.. he was like super shy and I could tell he wasn’t in his comfort zone...
now probs like a year later he’s a natural.
Fair play bro your actually a legend!
If I could go back in time I would of gone to college and I’d be just like you 🤙
Anthony really brings deep knowledge and understanding in almost anything he talks about. More of him in videos please!!
With Linus' reputation for dropping things you would think the DIY videos would be endless.
Today on “Anthony does all of the heavy lifting and definitely deserves a raise”
Anthony you’re amazing, I love how you start to appear in videos whenever stuff starts to get too technical, keep it going and thanks Linus for giving this guy a chance!.
More Anthony for the love of the oc gods, dude seems to have lot of passion for community/homebrew projects like this one and I love them.
I've been part of the homebrew/hacking scene for quite a while now and I know these kind of guys will totally appreciate the spotlight. Shoutouts to everybody that made it accesible for us mortals to get a portable Wii in hardware form.
Not gonna lie when Anthony said u can make one for urself
I was genuinely excited
Then you see the marker line/dremel cut on the PCB......
New ltt meme inc: "But you didn't build it, did you!?"
Needs to be a shirt with Anthony's face on it!
@@jojobobbubble5688 this omg this so much.
Completely forgot you guys are in Canada... until I heard "Zed" - LOL
“Zed” is part of the Queen’s english, so it makes sense.
I never said it didn't... quit trying to read things into what I said. It was just a simple and whimsical observation on my part.
Yea England always uses zed and not zee Americans have to be literal in their use of our language because they aren't that bright 😜 little example it's a pavement yanks be like oww my brain can't compute let's call it a side walk I walk on the side 😂
@@rumdrinkinpirate6107 I actually think it's kind of neat... it wasn't meant to be an insult or anything. I actually have said it that way in recent time myself.
@@80s_Gamr alls Cool shag you could argue though how we teach our young here we have what you'd call baby alphabet so instead of a b c it goes like ah bu kuh and you'll find quite a few words that are said with these phonic sounds then when you add in regional dialect oh boy that's a different kettle of fish 😂
There’s another reason too. Keep in mind, this isn’t emulating GameCube and Wii games, it’s running them on genuine hardware. This drastically increases the speed of emulation and reduces bugs associated with it.
"I" built this. i dont know why but that feels so good to hear. good job !
Because in the end you will care about it.
You'd be watching someone play it like they are handling your baby.
But is it worth the cost of a PS5?
Two episodes with Anthony in a row.
2020 is getting slightly better than I like it.
*SLIGHTLY*
"modernly refered to as the "omg wtf" trim" xDDD i love this already
I'm not going to be pulling apart my working Wii to make this one, but the idea is cool. Also, love the idea of Anthony doing more electronics project videos on the channel! Please show us more of the process of doing the build as well, I'm sure lots of people would find that useful.
Get this guys, imagine a portable switch?!!! 🤯🤯
Ya, right?!
@@BananinhaEsbananada ikr, I can't wait.
Nintendo: "Write that down, write that down!!!!"
Doubt Nintendo would do it...
Linus: *complains about Dpad and cost*
Anthony: "but you didn't build it, did you?"
15:39 I love this so much lol. "but you didn't build it, did you?"
"You need a Wii, buttons from a DS Lite..."
Me: I have that stuff!
"Lithium ion batteries, a soldering iron..."
Me: Okay, never mind.
And its $325 for the kit which looks to be $30-$50 worth of parts.
How come you don't have a soldering iron? Are you a girl?
We need more of this. Anthony is absolutely bloody amazing with this kind of thing and I need more.
please don't make Anthony segway to the sponsors, he's my favorite character of the LMG anime
Best line for tech enthusiasts "But you didn't build it, did you?"
I love the craziness of this project, and the amount of research that the creators put into this.
It makes so much sense, but only because the board was designed very well.
In vintage Japanese Hi-Fi equipment, there's also a beautiful seperation of each circuit (sometimes visibly outlined on the PCB, or cut into seperate boards for easy replacement);
("this part is for power, this part amplifies, this part is EQ, this part is output, etc")
But to have the Cojones to start cutting up boards too... :)
A big thank you to the entire homebrew scene, by the way.
For making consoles and devices usable in more ways than were intended, and extending their life significantly and reducing e-waste.
And thank you, Anthony.
For making 'scary' in-depth mods like this.. Feel doable for noobs like myself
He makes the learning curve seem worth it. And I'm sure he'll inspire many young people to pursue careers in electronics, coding, and engineering (or simply to become avid DIY repurposing geeks)
linus: "i cant belive you chopped up this PCB!"
China: "really?"
Me: Deciding to take a nice afternoon nap with Anthonys soothing voice
Linus: 14:55
Get it because Linus sounds like a bitch and Anthony is better and sounds cool
Me: oh cool there covering this old mod
Anthony:starts cutting up wii with gc inputs
Me: NNNOOOOOO! USE THE LATER REVISIOOOONS!!
felt the same :(
I don't get it. I assume you're saying there was another way to do this same thing?
Ouch.
@@GonzoEnt Never, NEVER use a GC compatible Wii for mods. All Wiis natively support GC, and will run GC games with homebrew, so if you are going to mod one, use one that doesn't have GC ports on it.
GonzoEnt there’s another model of the wii without GameCube hardware. Gamecube’s are becoming rare and thus a means of playing their games are also becoming rare. Don’t even get me started on the GC controller.
Me: Oh looks amazing I’m going to get one!
My wallet: yeah about that....
Anthony: "But did you build it?"
*Sweats profusely*
Me: *having a childhood nickname of G-Man*
Anthony: "made by G-Man"
Me: huh? Oh.
Doctor freeman...
How’d you get that nickname?
That was what many people called me growing up lol
me when i get the ps5 "oh man this is great"
the anthony inside my head "but you didnt build it, did you?"
I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE WII BOY 3 VIDEO FOR SO LONG AND LOOKING TO SEE IF IT WAS AVAILIBLE AND I FINALLY FOUND THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH
0:27 He's learning linus' ways
Me: If Anthony can do it, so can I...
Me after watching the video: ok, nevermind, I didn't want to play WII anyways.
when you're early enough that the spam bots haven't been banned yet
I love how the main point, which is a really valid point, is that yes, there are better systems out there that can do the same thing a lot better for a lot less ... but did you build it?
