From the project
Flex PCB breakout for Bluetooth, USB, GameCube controller ports on trimmed Wii motherboards
Building a Wii portable requires trimming a Wii motherboard and relocating key peripherals such as USB, Bluetooth, and GameCube controllers. This design breaks out these peripherals from the front of the board to a low-profile FFC connector, allowing for more modular builds.
The board is designed to be semi-permanently installed by soldering to exposed traces for the USB and Bluetooth data lines, and to the vias for the GameCube ports.
