Portable Wii “mod”
If you thought that the GBA-Wii mod was portable enough, here’s something that’s a little easier to handle. No need to strain your eyes with a GameBoy-sized screen, and no need to check where your Wii remote cursor falls on the screen every time you try to aim. This one involves a 10″ Poloroid portable DVD player.
PSDoom told us about his setup and we checked it out. He used a small jump battery with a 75 watt, 12 volt car AC adapter to power the Wii, while the DVD player is self-powered.
Sorry for the earlier confusion when we used the word “mod” to refer to this setup. Wrong choice of word. It’s not a “mod” in the sense of soldering stuff, breaking seals open, and voiding warranties. It’s a unique setup, a workaround, if you will, that’s great for picnics. Time to take your Wii outside.
