The Wii mini shudders with fear.
We don’t speak of that creature
@@i.w.russell7453*Wii don't speak of that creature
Macho Nacho Productions: Are you sure with that? I already hacked it.
It almost makes the PS5 look reasonable
To be fair, Wii mini fears even the regular Wii cause it sucks.
"There's no, like, big format of DVD I can use in place of a regular DVD."
Laserdisc: "Am I a joke to you??"
They didn't make burnable laserdiscs
@@Z64sports They actually did, albeit for professional use only.
"Sony CRVdisc" or "RLV" are prime examples.
@@Z64sports Yeah they just grew them on trees
The laserdisc completely bombed
Yes
This would be a hilarious computer case
Considering that the Wii XL has a similar if not larger size than a Mid-Tower or Mini-Tower case, it wouldn't be impossible to do that
@@sleepyboi2852
4k Dolphin Emu Station
if he sold it as a pc case id buy it
Little bit too thin to fit any good graphics cards in there. Also the plastic would melt if no proper cooling is supplied, after all single fan isn't ok.
@@CHGOfficial512Not wrong, but low profile graphics cards are still a thing, or a laptop could be repurposed into desktop.
All these modders out here making home consoles smaller and smaller... You went against the grain and made it bigger! Nice job!
He says he’s a big wii fan
Then builds a BIG wii
i can't belive you made a sequel to the wii, i wish the wii had an offical sequel with like a tablet that came with it but idk i think that idea isn't the best
that was the wii u ._.
@@notkitkatto great observation sherlock
@@notkitkatto nah, it was the switch 1

Maybe try the GBA next? This XL thing is a really cool concept and I think the Gameboy would be a perfect candidate for such a project.
*GBA Deck*
@@mark030a Exactly! With commonly available consolizer mod kits, you can easily create an XL Gameboy.
That reminded me of someone who stuffed some home console (I think it was an SNES) into a Game Boy Advance travel case that looked like that console itself
That'd be awesome. Either that, or a shell for another console/PC capable of emulating it. Either way I'd want Bringus to do it, he's clearly really good at making custom shells
@@AverageMichaelJordans Bringus is really talented. If he turned some of the things he's done into products, I'd definitely buy them. He's skillful enough to create such a GBA XL.
It would be really cool to have the blue ring around the disk drive scaled to the Wii xl
17:27 for future reference: its best not to solder mains connections. Solder cracks and can allow shorting. You should use insulated crimped spade connectors which push on :)
and they definitely should be individually insulated
"I'm a big wii fan"
*Starts buzzing*
THIS DUDE, made a super entertaining like 20 minute tutorial, actually TAUGHT us how to do so many techniques that were hard to do and options we can use for ourselves, such as those screws, didn't do everything off screen, made an amazing Wii and HAS SUCH FIRE TASTE IN MUSIC!! I am so impressed by this, I actually found you from the Game Rant/Nintendo Life article that featured you and your Wii. Keep up the amazing work! Also, side note, can I just say how much I respect how good of a cat owner you are, you actually made a toy for your cat with 3D printing, that is incredible. You have earned yourself a subscriber!!
You should make a larger one that could fit a real PC capable of emulating wii games at 4k
That would be a pc then
Edit: It's like if I said "Imma turn this chromebook into a bigger chromebook" then proceed to build a separate pc that can emulate a chromebook.
@@andrive And plus, someone already put a Mac Mini in a regular Wii case.
@@andrive no shit
@@andrive Captain Obvious to the rescue again.
@@andrive ha, big chromebook
sounds funny
I look forward to the Wii XXL and XXXL sequels in the years to come :)
Your channel is inspiring and extremely fun to watch. Keep up the great work!
You are the hero we didn't know we needed. Keep these bizarre yet rad projects up!!!
Your channel blew up so fast, congratulations! Keep it up, you’re doing an outstanding job!
Bro joined a community of portablizing and minimizing and does the complete opposite
Nice job you're growing really fast now it feels like just yesterday where you were at 14k. Your qualities just keeps improving keep it up don't tire yourself out though
really puts into perspective on how much design choices go into making an enclosure
From GameCube Mini to Wii XL. Amazing channel
the comedy in it is just golden, this will be viral in a few days
Fun video, I think this would be great if you did decide to open up the Wii, so you can just seperate the components out to their respectively correct positioning on the large model. Fun though.
Your channel is one of the best out there!
Really entertaining videos. You deserve a lot more subscribers dude!
Keep up the good work! ❤

@@onthegaming0999 bro what im not a bot 😭😭😭
22:53 The adapter you used just outputs the raw Wii signals just like mine: 480i for NTSC signals and 480p for 31khz progressive signals. This is critical for playing the Wii with the lowest latency as possible.
Also, you can just use a wireless or USB-powered sensor bar to play your shooting games like Duck Hunt (WiiMednafen or FCE Ultra GX), Lethal Enforcers (Genesis Plus GX) and Big Buck Hunter Pro, so a CRT is not necessary, as the Wii Remotes instead relied on infrared timing.
I done something similar with a gameboy and old pc but a tip since your buttons are modular I would use your fan tap to wire in a led and put it in the power button so it lights up when it on. that shouldnt be hard to add in. Or since you dont need the light bar plug the led into that. ;) It should still turn on when the wii comes on and would be 3 volts give or take making it perfect for that lil red led for the power button.
this man is a legend, truly a good time to be alive
Fun fact: the sensor bar works by transmitting IR to the Wiimote. This means you can use candles instead as flames also emit IR. The sensor bar isn't a sensor. The name is most likely a pun with censor bar due to the TV theming to the Wii.
Fun Fact: The Wii Remote has never officially been referred to as "Wiimote"
@@Chipmunkboyi do refer to it as a wiimote always have
@@miketheike1231onroblox. that changes nothing
Literally the best idea ever!
2:05 Laserdisc.
Could have a Wii playing the original Dragon's Lair.
Of course burning a Laserdisc would require extraordinarily rare and expensive equipment plus the almost equally rare industry discs, But TECHNICALLY it can be done.
One big tip or us Wii philosophers. For best screen display results, head to Wii Settings > Screen > Widescreen Settings to change between 4:3 Square and 16:9 Widescreen to accommodate for the clean HD widescreen display. Very impressive work I’ve seen for any Wii in recent memory.
With the DVD Drive, you probably get a tab to do a simple usb disc reader like you did for the fan, and tor the girthy prints you can print it diagnoly with supports on it, you can use lychee slicer to automaticly get supports in your prints. hope this help in the future.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just use a prop resizer?
why the HELL is this so funny
#no
One thing I would have done with your PCB was to add a diode on the + line going to the fan. Fans can also be voltage generators. You don’t want voltage back feeding into your USB port or device.
Yeah in hindsight that would have been a good idea as well as a small fuse or something
It would be really cool to do a larger version that can fit a Wii and a PC inside. And if possible design it so you could switch between the two using the front buttons
Or a pc that could read wii disks
@@Blavinthat actually wouldn't be too hard.all that you need to do is rip the drive out the wii and throw it in the pc
Should have made a Wii shell for a Laserdisc player lol
literally was thinking this as i was watching
same. lol
You can get a cheap airbrush (they go as low as like 15$) and paint it that way, and then afterwards spray it with a gloss sealer to make it glossy like the wii. The airbrush will probably prevent it from feeling goopy like spray paint too, since spray paints are usually really thick to fill in scratches and the like, but just putting that craft paint with some thinner through the airbrush should feel no different to how your side panel feels. It should also let you easily use those stencils, if you wanna go that route. The gaps could be filled with some epoxy putties and sanded to fit if you cant reprint it. Awesome build though :D
Yeah he kept saying the video had to get done, but had he been will to spend a lot more time he could have filled/sanded/painted the whole thing and made it look super clean. An air brush with stencils could have done the lettering passably too, but I get not wanting to do that lol
Man, I love your crazy ideas. I have no idea of how to make stuff like this, so this might be a stupid question, but could you use some kind of white putty to mask the gaps in the front faceplate?
Yeah I probably could, there's probably some white bondo or something out there. Really hoping that I can find a company that can do the whole thing in one go
OH MY GOD ITS A GIGANTIC WII
Keep up the good work :-)
That's so cool! It's huge and it actually works!
Put it all together and do Bondo to fill the gaps, then hand and dremel sand to get it looking right, then paint afterwards. Will give you a nicer more finished look! Watch cosplay construction videos for inspiration!
if it were up to me, i'd disconnect the og wii's faceplate and wire up the port to the front plate on the xl instead of making linkages. this would also allow for the light around the dvd slot and the sync button
Adding N64 functionality would have justified the size.
You can get sensor bar extension cables. No need to take it off a motherboard. You would've been quite easily able to add a sensor bar plug onto the back.
Yeah I realized that very recently when I came across one on Amazon. Had no idea that was a thing
weird that that's a thing considering how excessively long the cable is
@@numairdubas2688 I thought the same thing too. But there were some people playing Wii on a projector, where the screen often isn't near the console.
The SD extender alone is so cursed, I never saw that coming. Cool build!
19:43 A little late and probably past the point of worrying about it (also looks mostly fine to me at the end of the vid,) but Bondo or the like is a decent way to deal with gaps like that. Helpful to have in general, really. Helps pretty up all the things I don't want to waste all the time and plastic reprinting.
Just got recommended your channel. Lit!
you can glue pla permanently with CA glue. It sort of welds the plastic together. Need to wet both sides and let it sit for a bit, then push them together with a bit of force to make a good bond.
omg Bean is sooo cute, my lil tortie named Nora loved watching this video
When you said "bigger dvd" I instantly thought of Laserdiscs hahahaha
I was hoping you would take the wii apart and simply have the components in the giant thing. That would maybe make there actually be a reason to have the larger fan, since it could maybe provide better cooling... idk, this was still fun.
now all you need is a wiimote XL
Also based on what you shown I find it funny that you used dolphin grey
"There's no like big format of DVD I can use in place of a regular DVD"
Could've used a LaserDisk
Or perhaps a CED if you're feeling fancy
Congratulations you made a computer!
Haven’t watch the video yet, I plan too but I just thought it’s funny how much it just looks like a wii skinned desktop computer
2:05 “there’s no, like, big format of DVD I can use in place of a regular DVD.”
My guy.
LaserDisc.
:)
You should shove 4 wiis into one big wii and make it a lan party BEAST
You could have used the fan pcb to power the wii sensor bar, all the sensor bar port does is provide power to 4 ir leds, the actual brains for positioning the pointer are housed in the wiimote
funny enough does exist a Wii enclosure i think it was by nyko or some other brand that reminds me of this. had storage for a wii mote and such too. its very rare to see one out in the wild though.
I'm also a big Wii fan. This is one of my favourite console ever!
Make a Wii HD using a SBC like a raspberry pi (although Dolphin can run on a Pi 4, I would not recommend using a pi), remake the wii menu as an emulation station theme, and use dolphin to run it at 1080p.
15:11 Bean is a very helpful assistant~
“big format of a dvd i can use”
Did you forget vinyl records exist, you couldve made a wii style record player, my boy!
I say put the fan on the second USB port that is not used by USB Loader, that should work and not create issues with loading games. In that case, the USB Flash Drive would be the only issue since the Wii hates flash drives lol.
"There's no like.. big format of a DVD I can use in place of a regular DVD"
LaserDisc: **cough** Ahem!
the song is Whimsical Waters from Mario Party 10 in case someone's wondering
( i had a headache trying to remember where i listened this song)
There's no big dvd replacement that I could use! lazerdisk:
The Wii is indeed a console of the gods. Great video btw
I have a cricut I could cut them for you if you wish, FOC just would need the measurments of each logo
Bringus: " There is no bigger version of DvD that I could use in its place. "
Me with my LazerDisc Drive: :)
i just want this mans to take his crazy inventions to a technition and just watch their brains just...melt
I kinda wanna use that giant WII case as a PC case.
Maybe use it as a case for a PC made for emulation, which is a project that I wanna do one day.
1: i want a pc case like this
2: i love these videos
"i've been playing this thing since i was a little kid"
holy SHIT i forgot how old the wii was
"There's no, like, big format of DVD I could use"
My I interest you in a new video idea-
PLAYING WII ON A LASER DISC
if you use two levers, it would allow you to press the button, and then all you have to do is adjust their positioning and length to get them to hit the button just right
the alternative is some sort of stupid, maybe hydraulic, system that slides back and forth, that might not work reliably, same for the sync button
you could also use pogo pins and dupont pins that are shoved into the IR connector, and basically make a rather crude, but otherwise functional, connection to the outside for an actual sensor bar, if you didnt want to install it into the MegaWii as it is
You sir, are an artist.
I think you should have used the entirety of the Wii as the DVD drive for scale 😂
Edit: So like, instead of sliding a disc into the Wii you slide a Wii into the Wii XL
we need a huge rgb fan array taking up 90% of the space bc wii motherboard can be very small and producing thrust similar to a jet engine
I love that he assesss his mistakes
Quality content
could make a max fan size one with an inbuilt power supply and screen and like 2 wiis worth of hardware as well as router to connect them for online only games and a raspberry or more for the server emulation.
everyone try make wii smaller or portable this mad man just make it bigger
i salute you dear sir
I had no idea what you are talking about at most of the video, but i love your funny words magic man
You should make a big GameCube to such a scale so that normal sized DVDs fit in it. Bonus points if it’s actually a functional Wii
babe wake up, new bringus studios upload
"No big DVD"
Laserdisk would like to have a word.
You can use candles in place of the sensor bar
Just what we all needed
I don't know much about Linux but I've always wondered if you could use it through some combination with retroarch or dolphin specifically to essentially make it a Wii through and through. Like you turn on the system and it boots into dolphin automatically
Would probably work, but dolphin's wii system menu emulation is still a bit rough around the edges and can crash or get random bugs from time to time
@@shadesoftime Nifty! Thanks for the info
Smart doing the 80mm, because now theres room for a follow up someday 😊
Fun fact: the reason the sensor bar can be wireless is because the cord doesn’t send anything to the Wii. The cord is only lighting 4 red leds and the wiimote picks up those leds and sends cursor information via Bluetooth
The wife and I still have every console from present day back except a dreamcast . I gotta nail that one down
A good idea for enlarging the power brick would be adapting an xbox 360 power supply to it. :D
I mean, if you wanted to make it compatible with what is basically a giant DVD, you could include parts for LaserDisc compatibility. But, that may be overkill 😂
Lol seems most people don't know what laserdisc is anymore
@@shadesoftime Oh, I'm fully aware. It would confuse so many people 😂
24:16 I hope there Will be a Version 2 of your project! Make it for us!
Nintendo fan-
hey man i hope you see my comment but when you had 2 peices for the face plate you shouldve made the top half where the wii slides in and have it on a hing that you can open and close shut with the sd card cover style click
great video as always! i was wondering, have you ever studied electrical engineering at school or did you learn everything yourself? i would love to try to make projects like this myself but i do not know where to start.
I've only learned what I've needed to to make random projects in the past, no real formal education. My greatest advice is to watch a whole lot of UA-cam tutorials 🫡
Oh hell yeah dude, I'm a big Wii fan myself (I am a fan of the big Wii)
"Every button of the Wii is accessible from the front panel" Except for the sync button.
And except the eject button.
Wii XL with games on Vinyl discs.
You know you can make it happen.
No, with Laserdisc.
