![]() The same thread also confirms that the kit is set to release “very soon in April.” If you, like me, have been wanting to turn one of your old, unplugged consoles from a paperweight into something you can get some more use out of, plus learn more about electronics along the way, this kit looks like a great way to get started. ![]() However, the G-Boy’s creators are also in the process of creating a complete step-by-step guide for the project, which will come with the kits and also release online within a few weeks, according to BitBuilt’s forums. Its supposed to be different from the Wii so that one wont help. Is there any reliable site that sells the Wii U Lens Cleaning Kit besides the NoA store I live in Europe and they dont ship outside of the US/Canada. “It’s a challenging build, even for beginners, but with enough dedication, even a beginner can build their own G-Boy.” I feel like this is the best place to ask this. “This kit is by far the easiest way to get into building a portable, but that does not mean it is easy,” Shank Mods explains in his video on the G-Boy. Reviews on Amazon for typical DVD/CD lens cleaning discs often contain comments from people that it didnt work on a Wii and/or Wii U. Some people have suggested using compressed air, but never any feedback if it actually helped. You’ll also need your own wire, solder, and flux. The official lens cleaning disk from Nintendo is available on Ebay for ridiculous costs (like 60+). The store page recommends owning or buying a soldering iron with good temperature control, a hot air station, a dremel, an x-acto knife, tweezers, wire cutters and strippers, and a number of screwdrivers before starting your build. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, the G-Boy is nonetheless a project. The G-Boy also comes with a number of software solutions to make the project easier, like a custom front end UI for loading your games without needing a Wii remote, as well as an app for calibrating any control stick for working with the console. ![]()
