I Bought a PORTABLE Nintendo Wii from a subscriber...

- Over the last decade or so, there have been a lot of people turning home consoles into portable consoles. And each year, they get more and more impressive. This Portable Wii was built by Gman back in 2019, but it's still a very cool portable Wii console. It does have some issues, but my guess is they are fixable... btw, please let me know in the comments if you have any info that could help me out! Also let me know if you have a custom console or custom portable console you are looking to sell - I am interested and might buy it from you.

I’LL TAKE THIS PORTABLE WII

@@jrob0021 that’s a steal you should take that deal
@@jrob0021 Face Reveal!!!!
"only can play games you own" bro don't pretend💀

I would feel bad emulating switch Games that I don’t own but Nintendo Offers me 0 ways to play Wii Games (aside from my Wii U but, yea)
i know this goofy ahh boy thinks hes going to be locked up
@@ultimatebreak827Even on Wii U, the eshop has been shut down and there were only 30 or so Wii games available for purchase even when it was up. Absolute joke considering Wii is one of the most popular video game systems ever and has a huge library, even if half of it was shovelware. The eShop didn’t even have NSMB Wii, Mario Kart Wii, or SSB Brawl. If Nintendo isn’t gonna sell their old games I’m going to pirate them
They need a fully non-portable Switch. Or a stationary 3DS
Yes
Hahaha
A non-portable switch wouldn't exactly be called the switch.
@@Brain_pocketer the stationary
@@Clanps the switch heavy
(Lite and heavy)
I modded a wii for my daughter about 10 years ago the first year was straight tinkering all the time but once that was over we all love it Kid is 17 and its still hooked up in living room still played more than not
That’s awesome
The 3DS circle pads is smart, didn't think they could be thrown in like that
It’s actually a good analog stick to be honest. I loved that on the 3ds, even though I mainly used the dpad
I LIKE UR FUNNY WORDS MAGIC MAN
They're actually not good and start deteriorating after a couple of years from oils that come off hands naturally. Nintendo way of making it so that people would either rhave to repair or replace soon. The should've used the ones from the nintendo switch perhaps. Doubt it's be any better.
"You can only use games you own so i'll have to delete some of these"
Lol yeah okay.
Said that for legal reasons
i was thinking is this guy serious right now 😂
"I need to remove some of the roms because I don't own a hard copy of the game"
Riiiiiiiiiiiight....
wink wink lol
I have always wanted to see a portable of this
Wow, that's _really_ close to the DMG form factor. I imagined it being a lot larger. Also, the inside wiring is cleaner than I expected. Too bad it's so expensive.
I was gonna say "just say gameboy you loser" and then I remembered that this video's target audience will not get confused
@@indianaliam1 what is a DMG
You could do it yourself, only real tough part is the small wiring. Parts still gonna cost you probably $200-300 in addition to a white Wii (need an early white one too, not all old white Wiis will work).
@@justyahz796it's the first generation of Gameboy (DMG-01 was the hardware code).
Never thought you would have had a face cam.. that was a nice addition keep the video grind going! Thanks for the great content
I mentioned this in the video, but I might be hiring someone to help me out with testing and cleaning games and consoles that come in via trade in. This would be a local position so you’d need to be located near me in NC. Send me a message on Instagram or twitter if you’re interested and we can discuss details.
This is the wrong time to live in the UK 🥲
@@HannahCharlesworth98 That's exactly what I was going to say , that would be an ideal job but it would take a long time to travel daily from the UK. unless staff accomodation comes with them my bags will be packed.
@@_YTA hahaha I wish I made enough to be able to pay someone to travel daily from the UK
@@jrob0021 😂 I can move if that's any good.
Well im in sweden☹️
"I'll have to delete those".
Sure you will bud, sure you will. 😉
I feel out over these crazy portable devices. I just hope you're able to get it stable so it boots up and loads games consistently every time.
I love these it’s what has inspired me to attempt to repair consoles till I’m able to do one of these myself
Great job and exploring the portable Consoles 👍 very interesting
Bro I really didn’t expect the video to start off wit seeing u took me off guard
I've found out with portblize mii that it usually works when you charge it for a 10 seconds then boot it up . Doesn't work 100percent of the time but it makes it work better for some reason
Him: you know what would be next level?
Me: if it worked correctly?
I have wanted to see this for ages
Hi. I've built one of these. My guess the issue is the datalines. Late in the kits cycle, we were told to use 34awg 'magnet wire' for the datalines. I do not think the community knew about magnet wire when G-Man built your gboy rev iii. Very cool that you have something that he built it. Also your gboy has a special shell. I'd fix it for you if I lived in NC
Mm I suppose it could also be the software. Hard to say unless I could diagnose in person. Lemme know if you need any help :)
hi
i want to build one of these myself but i dont know where to start
any help?
@@velica5536 I would learn how to solder
@@velica5536 check out the bitbuilt forums. Sadly the kit to make these is no longer in production but the person who designed it along with a few of the other moders involved have a new shop with a lot of the custom components you need. It’s very involved but very cool.
Other you tubers to check out are gman who built this
Shankmods who has built other crazy portables and built this portable
Gingerofoz who built the Wiiboy colour a different version of this in a slimer form factor
@@Sadistichippo ty bro
USPS pulling through again🤣
That console looks pretty cool. Now imagine a portable Wii but the size of a PSVita
that actually is a thing shank mods even fit one in a altoids can look up gwii its basicly the size of a vita
Could get dolphin on a steam deck
@@ruthlessrevolt2258 your joking right?
@@brwed You're*
More face cam please. Did not expect that. Great addition. 👍
Glad you enjoyed. I’m trying out new things
@@jrob0021 Nothing wrong with that. 👍 Sometimes a change can be a good thing.
Love your videos! Facecam is looking good man!
You should create a list of phrases that you avoid using during videos - One of those phrases can be "as you can see" 🤣
Intermittent booting like that is a voltage issue. They're super sensitive in the real Wii and GC to have proper power delivery. I would say something to do with batteries used, or how the charging port hooks up. I've repaired quite a few of the real consoles. They are finicky with power delivery. Hope you can get a multimeter inside and check everything out.
"You can only load of games you own some I'm going to delete some of these". That's BS and you know it!
These things are my childhood dream.
fun fact: G-Man is a nickname for that creator but a name of my favourite fps series character its from half life also thats a G-ood name for a creator
I’ve never actually played half life, should I?
@@jrob0021 of course it has some console ports and you can play it on pc heres some console ports: xbox og (half life 2)ps2 (half life 1 and decay exclusive),xbox 360 (comes with half life 2 and episodes,portal and tf2) and its extremely good also the xbox 360 port is orange box
Noice new console to add to you’re collection
It appears to be using Nintendon't (perhaps there'll be an update sometime? Not saying it would address the bootup issues, but it might sort out some of the game booting issues?). It could also be an issue with memory or the SD card? I'm only guessing, but these would be things I'd assume might be issues (or it could be the processing power isn't quite enough?). Perhaps some of the issues were fixed in a later hardware revision? Just some thoughts!
Well the weird thing is that the guy I bought it from said it was working fine for the couple years he had it. Then he didn’t play it for a while and now it has this issue. I think the usb drive being used inside of it could be the issue. I’ve seen a lot of people on the bit built forums mention that some usb drives are no good (although this one worked fine for a couple years so that’s odd)
I recall gingerofoz making a wiiboy color just like this. It might be the same one but I'm not sure
I have always wanted one of those
Great video
I can't wait for a portable PSP
😂😂
I think Sony would have too many issues with this, so it'll never happen! (LOL).🎮
Same, also for a portable Nintendo Switch
portable ds would be the best
Isn't the psp go basically a portable psp?
They need to make a portable DS
😂😂
No how about a portable Game Boy Advance
nah i feel like they should make a portable 3ds
a portable switch would be amazing
@@Tenjooo My Mate Vince already made that
i wish we could find a case like this one to do it ourselves easier
why wouldn’t you check the voltage with something like a multimeter before you keep restarting it 😭 it’s definitely the power delivery if you’ve ever used a wii, i would chew this subscriber out
Really enjoying your content dude new to the channel but keep up the good work !
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy the videos
yea its crazy how small they can trim that wii board and have it still be workable.
Hello Do you know where I can bou the G-Boy , I want make same thing
Now all we need is a Switch Lite in a DS shell.
What part of NC are you in? I may be interested in a job.
we can only play the games we own;)) funniest part of this whole video
Portablizemii was replaced by a more superior RVLoader so if a follow up video is produced using this software i wouldn't mind watching it.
Use rvloader 1.5. But to get wii games playing u need to do something for the settings of each game by pressing B on the game and enable something and map yah controlls also. You have to do this for each wii game on yah system just once the system will remember yah settings for eqch game u set. Hope this helps
I just bought an ashida from Gman we meet up actually in person super nice guy. The system is awesome worth the $1200 if you love GC and Wii games
the wii mote wont work because the 3rd gen Gboy or any Gboy doesnt have a sensor bar
portabalizemii should make a ui that looks like orginal wii ui would be cool
Man, taking out the disk drive really shrinks the size
It was hard to put Face with voice but it makes so much sense now 😭😭😭🔥
does the person who sent this sell these? this is really well made, id consider buying one for sure
same here!
We need a portable switch and ds/3ds
'ABXY just like the Wii'
I'm pretty sure the Wii had a 1,2,Z,and C.
They need to make portable nintendo switch.😾
The switch is already portable
ONG 😭😭😭
@@randomnetwork5412 nah
I think Nintendo would have a problem with this! (LOL),🎮
Perhaps they'd call it a light switch? Now there's an illuminating idea! (LOL).💡
we should make a tv 2ds with a wii u tablet as second screen and controller and we could call it the 2ds max
or make a non portable switch with a wii u tablet as touch screen
So now you can play shovelwares on the go :D!!!
i wanna do an all perfects run of rhythm heaven fever on this thing
I've been watching your videos on and off for months I clicked on this one and then out of the blue face reveal? Did I already miss a video where you did that either way I like watching your videos love and peace to whom reads this 😜
I would get one or do it myself but not liking the way their case or control are handheld
holy sh*t 10 min into showcasing an actual game. I should have fast frwd
ive been watching occasionally for like 3 years and ive never seen your face
Now that’s what I call a handheld
Hey dude, I live in NC, not sure what part of NC you're from but I'm in the Raleigh area. I'm an engineer by day but would love an evening job a few nights a week if you're looking for someone part time.
I don't think I'd want to pay 400.00 for something that only works every once in a while. 😐
or you can format internal tf card，chang to new files
Why didn't you play a single wii game and just showed the other one's i wanted to see how it would run
legend of the wind waker
Got an idea. Try finding and buying Sega Nomad
I didn’t even know that existed until like a week ago lol. I probably will find one soon and make a video
Where’s the portable Game and Watch?
I got this cool portable wii. It's called dolphin emulator on my phone.
I think you mean to say that the driver bit was to short not the screw because the screw is the part you are removing and the bit it the tool.🙂👍✌
This was close to unwatchable with how many ads there were
I want them to play the discs.
I would like to invest in the store and what you have going on I reall love the idea
I have that screwdriver set. It's from dollar tree.
Jacob r I love your channel keep up the good work
I wish they made a portable version of the Switch. Please modders get on this
Bruh
My Mate Vince already made one
I hope they do too
*cough* *cough* switch lite
I’m so dead ☠️
The first time to see the J Rob face (to the best of my knowledge) hello 👋 😅
Where could I buy one?!
Where can I buy one?
this real cool
I am looking at a new nintendo switch portable. It's $2000 but it would be awesome to play the new Nintendo on the go.
the Switch is already portable 🤔there's a portable mode
@@UltiMaker2 /j
Where can I get one
Whoa, wasn't expecting a face reveal out of the blue! 😄
Especially because it's actually Dominic Monaghan.
He showed his face before this is not the first time
Yo the 3ds circle pads yo
FACE REVEAL AT THE START!?
He revealed it in the ps5 racing setup video
Did you sell this?
“So I’m gonna have to delete some of these…” yeaaaaahhh okay😂😂 you’re so paranoid hahaha I don’t think much would happen if you kept them 😂
can you load up the wii menu on it?
If that Thing is Real, I would buy it just to play GameCube games And I would request SSX Tricky and 3 and Nightfire and Agent Underfire 007, Pro Skater 3+4, Underground 1+2, and American Wasteland
Whats the law on owning ROMs you own on disc? I thought it was illegal either way
Is that protable from GameBoy Advance
Ahh, this right there is a face reveal to me. Look at you!
Love seeing your face again. But I do feel the random shots of your face kinda distract from the opening of products. Like I find the switching back snd forth distracting 😅
Where did you buy this.
One of my viewers messaged me
@@jrob0021 ahhh nice
'I'm gonna have to delete some games I don't already own'... oh please 😒
why do you have a afro on your youtube character when you dont have a afro?
Looks good just seems a little unprofessional to send out a product that's not fully working correctly
These weren’t available as a commercial product. These were available as a kit for an enthusiast community. It’s cool that they exist but they were never really meant to be a finished product
I have the same power bank from anker and it’s like 20-30$
A portable ps2 would be awsome tbh
I have one. I’ll be making a video soon
@@jrob0021 yo awsome thank you
@@jrob0021 Jacob i need ps2 console.COuld u send me one?
@@jrob0021 how about a portable PS3 for skate 1-3?
Most times it’s a software issue if there are boot problems
