Bro his videos are pretty in depth he’s also dropped only a video about 1 or 2 a year so he’s probably learning more and becoming better at explaining and showing things. I don’t think the sponsor is responsible for him just being good at what he does but I’m sure the money doesn’t hurt him being able to continue dropping awesome videos.
Same, i want to get into this stuff, but I literally dont know anything about boards or soldering, but i do wanna learn. Sadly i don't know how to even start learning about this :( If anyone has any advice on how i could start learning about this it would be appreciated ;-;
Im such a huge fan of all of the portable consoles and all of the knowledge behind it is so cool looking, but I always never take the leap to learn more so it was cool for him to teach even the smallest details.
Oh man! Thank you for this video. I taught myself soldering over the past year and a half to make wireless controller mods for Nintendo DS's. And I really always admired you and the peeps at Bitbuilt! I will definitely start with an Ashida.
The Ashida you created is literally the most beautiful handheld I've ever seen!! I love it sm because pink is my fav and the GameCube controller is also my favorite of all time (much more comfortable than the damn joycons). Literally never soldered anything in my entire life but now I'm determined. I'm gonna make the Ashida, I WILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
you and shank almost don't upload at all but all of your videos are well made that i just watch them multiple times video cuz they're rich with info, the explainations of "how this thing work" or "why did i do this/why do i have to do this" are amazing, i LOVE the the WiiBoy Color video.
I remember the old days of portableizing before 3d printers and custom pcbs. People used to take plastic lunch boxes and Lazer Doodle toys and cut them up and merge them with controllers with epoxy to make cases.
I have a Gboy kit I still have yet to put together (planning to after the semester, it would be my first portabilizing project) and this is so cool and inspiring, thank you❤
These things always amaze me. I love projects like this, I have no skill to do it myself but I'm always fascinated. I'd love to see more stuff from you beyond just the wii.
These videos just fill me with an indescribable urge to learn about the INs and OUTs of electronics just to understand what's going on in the videos and enjoy the show.
I love the Ashida Wii. But I would love to see a Subboard made for portablising the Wii. A board that has everything on it. Powerboard, buttons, toggle switch, power button, Screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI out, battery connectors, controller port, amp. Like the Oleg Endo mod for the Sega Nomad and the IPS Screen mods for the DMG Gameboy. Instead of having to source separate boards and having to make it all work together by soldering dozens of wires. A board that is clean, wireless with solder on ribbon cables for the motherboard instead of having a nest of Kynar wires. Having a Subboard maybe expensive, but it will make it much more DIY friendly and much more neat.
I just completed my first Wii portable, the Ashida, last night. I'm now looking into building another portable Wii. It was a challenging project for sure, but super rewarding. Thank you for all your videos over the years.
Hi Ginger, just roaming into your channel after ps 2 build video. the one I can say is, your video quality is super great. it is bring back memory of youtube video around 2015, I mean the best youtube era I think. when all the creator are highly passionate to share their work. the joke, the scripting, editing and your tone color also represent as well. like your video vibe so much. thanks!
Crazy Nintendo didn't make a more efficient Wii portable with a dock. Could've had an awesome official Wii Switch. Thank goodness for modders making that dream real!
Fair point, but I find that it usually takes a lot of time for that to happen. That's definitely the move if you're painting something that you'll handle a lot on the daily.
I actually woul love to see a video about casting controller buttons ! Especially the rubber cap part. I love resin casting, but I have no clue how you would make a mold for a rubber cap, and what type of rubber to use... Urethane rubber ? Is the cap removable to cast it ? I've got questions ! ^^
Man, I love the International Superstar Soccer 64 menu music in the background on the Spencer build. So many fun memories playing with my little brother as a child.
Great showcase Ginger! What 3D printer do you use? I've been meaning to get back into my portablizing attempts for year and also need an excuse to buy a 3d printer
I personally use a Prusa Mk3, although some of the recent printers from Bambu are a really good value. The next time I upgrade, it'll likely be to a Bambu printer
As much as I love seeing portables in general , the Ashida is the first one I'm actually contemplating trying to build one day! Amazing and seemingly friendlier (in the ways that are possible).
You give gamer-geeks a very good name. Excellent delivery, clear and concise without coming off as condescending. You make me want to make one of them crazy cool things. Subbed for sure and looking forward to more great videos.
I wonder if there is a team out there that can get the motion controls to work on a emlulator. Swiniging around a x box controller playing skyward would be pretty funny
one of linus media groups' short circuit channels' recent video first impression, was of a 5 head 3d printer, you could load different colours to each of the five outputs, and the moving part would move over automatically and, using magnets, attach itself to one of the five heads, but when finished with it, it can detach that head back from whence it came and then go pick up another head, with a different colour loaded in it.
It's like playing with Nintendo Legos. People who understand and can implement this type of engineering are geniuses. I wish I had the imagination to develop such a concept. Great video and I would die for that device. I never liked using the Wii controllers so this would have been a perfect solution. I just would not be able to comprehend building it, I know there are directions but still it is some intricate work being put in all while using tiny tools. Congrats btw 🎉 you are awesome ❤
GingerOfOz Make a Super Nintendo Portable Device, I think you would enjoy doing that. Since it would be cool, yes Nintendo does rerelease their old SNES stuff on the switch but I hope you make a SNES that is actually functional as a SNES and not you paying 50 Bucks every Month.
2:32 those bright pink batteries are 18650s right? You could find sets of sleeves real cheap and even whole packs of different colors for under $20 easy. They're easily applied, I'd imagine you have a heat gun and that's all you need. I used a hair dryer myself for awhile. It's not that important or anything but incase you use 18650s a lot some extra sleeves could come in handy.
When this many portables are built, you'd think at least one of them would have the layout of sticks & buttons based on the WiiUs layout... Why does no-one do that?
RUclips was trying to get me to watch the portable gamecube video again, and I was like 'fine that video was good, did the guy upload anything new' and I check and literally the first new video in a year, I guess I'm destined to subscribe
I love these! They're so cool :D I still got my Wii. Great memories of getting it with my sister and having a melee tournament like the same day with my friends for my birthday ha ha
So sick the Ashiida is too clean
I appreciate the fact you’re using your sponsor in your builds & we get to see the actual quality.
No one cares what you appreciate kidgirl 😂

We got a new ginger of oz video before GTA6
As PS5 and Xbox Series X and S
And Switch 2
And TES6 and Metroid Prime 4 and Silksong.

Hes not replying to you 🤡@darvonmason4249
Your two and a half minute explaination of a 1 minutes breakdown of cutting up a Wii motherboard was very well put. You're an incredible teacher
Man you are a true "less than" beta
this kinda stuff is so cool. I know little to nothing about messing with boards and soldering but stuff like this makes me want to really learn
Imagine how cool it would be if you could just take in person classes on this stuff
Do it! I did and now I have an Ashida! Wii Modding is great.

I've done a couple of GBoy builds but i REALLY want to tackle an Ashida build just haven't figured out where to start, lol. Great video!!🤘🤘
12:45 you trickster i thought someone was calling me
woow these look awesome!! i love the pikmin themed one so much ahhh, you're really good at the aesthetic part of these designs

The modder's slogan, "No gods, no trademark lawyers."
Hey, can you trim a Wii U?
I'd love to know this
Its starting to get small
No, trying to do so will result in immediate punishment from Nintendo, a lawsuit, and extensive prison time.
@@AyoCrunchythis. i tried at launch and i just got out of prison dude
Yep! Look up the "Definitive Wii U Trimming Guide", there's a detailed explanation on how to perform the "LOLWUT" trim on the BitBuilt forums.
I'm glad to hear about those 3d scans, definitely something that we need more of in general for both remixing and preservation purposes.
Man your work is so incredible always such a pleasure to see what you’re up to! 🔥
Crazy Nintendo didn't make a more efficient Wii portable with a dock. Could've had an awesome official Wii Switch. Thank goodness for modders making that dream real!
These are all so cool! I need to learn how to solder so I can do stuff like this lol. Amazing video!
I just love it when makers inspire each other and you get an evolutionary chain of projects that ultimately benefit everyone!
HE'S BACK!!!!!
the "Reasonable Number Generator" was such a good bit LOL, great satire of truly "unbiased" reviews! always love your videos man 🙏
Awesome video as usual, a joy to watch! Your undervolting explanation was spot on!
I think you would love the bambu A1. It would make your multi-color cases 10 times easier to do. I recently got one and i love it.
GingerofOz you inspired you to make wii handheld of my own which I say thank you! Truly a underated channel!
the problem with matte finishes is that they eventually wear shiny and look worse than pure fingerprints
Fair point, but I find that it usually takes a lot of time for that to happen. That's definitely the move if you're painting something that you'll handle a lot on the daily.
Ben heck got me into these kind of projects, love the custom work
I’m actually sad that they stopped doing that😢 1:24 I would’ve paid a lot of money just for one of those
I totally geeked out over this and look forward to more of your videos in the the hopefully near future.
I actually woul love to see a video about casting controller buttons !
Especially the rubber cap part. I love resin casting, but I have no clue how you would make a mold for a rubber cap, and what type of rubber to use... Urethane rubber ? Is the cap removable to cast it ? I've got questions ! ^^
Way better than cheap emulation devices!
This stuff is really cool to watch and learn about. I like the designs of the different Wii mods.
Finally another upload! Keep em going!
Awesome video man, see you next year guys ❤
Awesome vid! And thanks again for my GBC Atomic Purple inspired Louii! love it!
Awe now I wanna make a portable wii but do you think it would be possible to keep the wii's motion controles?
Man, I love the International Superstar Soccer 64 menu music in the background on the Spencer build. So many fun memories playing with my little brother as a child.
Great showcase Ginger! What 3D printer do you use? I've been meaning to get back into my portablizing attempts for year and also need an excuse to buy a 3d printer

A legend returns. Loved seeing the Gboy again. You did a much better job overviewing the system than I did for my video lol
I’m 99% done with my Ashida, thanks so much for helping me! Awesome video as always!
I wonder if there is a team out there that can get the motion controls to work on a emlulator. Swiniging around a x box controller playing skyward would be pretty funny
This chap is pretty funny. And he puts a video out once every 5 years. What a madman.
Amasing work from great passion, dedication, patience and talent.
Now we just need an N64 portable project.
You're alive! Awesome to see new content from you.
This video is a solid 5 out of 5
one of linus media groups' short circuit channels' recent video first impression, was of a 5 head 3d printer, you could load different colours to each of the five outputs, and the moving part would move over automatically and, using magnets, attach itself to one of the five heads, but when finished with it, it can detach that head back from whence it came and then go pick up another head, with a different colour loaded in it.
Dodging Nintendo like Neo from the Matrix. Truly the hero we all need
I want an Ashida, but not bad enough to throw money at it.
The king returns!!!
These are all super cool, but the theme on the last one is so fun and creative!!!
It's like playing with Nintendo Legos. People who understand and can implement this type of engineering are geniuses. I wish I had the imagination to develop such a concept. Great video and I would die for that device. I never liked using the Wii controllers so this would have been a perfect solution.

I love watching gingers videos cause his voice is very soothing to listen to while working
love the vids cant wait until next stream!
I remember you, you always amazed me with the designs of the handhelds.
gingerofoz just keeps on getting better and better at video making, man.
very well-put together stuff!
ok the number bit at 9:27 really gave me a good chuckle.
What’s your favourite portable comfort wise I mean my hands cramp up just looking at some of those
“And the games look just like they did 20 years ago” fuck. That one hurt
HES BACK!

Make a Super Nintendo Portable Device, I think you would enjoy doing that.
Since it would be cool, yes Nintendo does rerelease their old SNES stuff on the switch but I hope you make a SNES that is actually functional as a SNES and not you paying 50 Bucks every Month.
Bro is finally back Glad to see y Pue content
Never knew this was a thing. So cool!
YESSS!!!! A NEW VIDEO!!! Great Video btw :)
My guy selling this for a 1000$ I’d prefer an original wii more
this is great! I wish someone could make a portable ds next.
The green shell is so niiiiiiice
2:32 those bright pink batteries are 18650s right? You could find sets of sleeves real cheap and even whole packs of different colors for under $20 easy. They're easily applied, I'd imagine you have a heat gun and that's all you need. I used a hair dryer myself for awhile.
It's not that important or anything but incase you use 18650s a lot some extra sleeves could come in handy.
great video! like the more in depth sections
I know this is an old video but a thought, you could re-wrap those 18650's within the G-boy to make them much better fit the devices aesthetic.
Those resin casting buttons are insanely cool
I wanna learn how to do this kind of stuff but honestly I have no idea where to start ha ha
Amazing work you showed there !
I compare every controller to the GameCube’s! In my opinion (someone with larger hands) it’s my favorite and most comfortable controller!
When this many portables are built, you'd think at least one of them would have the layout of sticks & buttons based on the WiiUs layout... Why does no-one do that?
As far as the aesthetic goes…to be fair, green and pink go beautiful together. 🥰
Good to see ya back man. Missed your vids. :)
Imagine if there so much more nintendonhandheld competition out there, more choice than the switch that would be good for the markets
I cannot begin to explain how hyped I am to gobble up this video
I loved it in the GingerOfOz movie when GingerOfOz said "It's Portablising time" and portablised 5 different Wiis.
Finally! I'm very happy to see you return!
When you opened up with the Wii Boy, it reminded me of how deflective the shell of an original GB is compared to modern hybrid shells.
the gags with the reasonable number generator were really funny
RUclips was trying to get me to watch the portable gamecube video again, and I was like 'fine that video was good, did the guy upload anything new' and I check and literally the first new video in a year, I guess I'm destined to subscribe

Something I'd love to see is a clamshell design for a steam deck that sorta makes it look like a DS and I'd know you'd knock it out of the park.
This video's got some clean editing
