This is just fantastic. I wonder how small older consoles can be these days while still maintaining full hardware compatibility.
Making video games fun does not require anywhere near as much hardware as we typically use in modern systems. I look forward to an eventual return to fun video games.
Nintendo has been doing this ... forever? The switch is ancient tech, and was outdated the moment it was released.

Switch could definitely have used more oomph. Many frame rate drops in the Zelda games. Many emulators claim to have the superior experience with those games.

So is this project (a) taking the real Wii parts and putting them on a smaller PCB, (b) a different design with a more efficient same-architecture CPU, or (c) an entirely new design that is emulating the Wii hardware? Can the device run the real Wii OS or is it running a replacement OS capable of launching Wii games?
Some components in this build are reconnected to the board using a flexible PCB connector, but the core is just a cut down OEM Wii board.

Is this something you'd need to download and install ROMs to use?
