It's no secret that the Mac mini design is a little bit stale. While everyone loves its price point, size, and performance, we aren't exactly excited by the little aluminum square anymore. Today that changes. The other day I was looking at an old Wii and I thought HMM, that looks like about the same size to me. What if I put a Mac mini in there? An Apple Silicon Wii?!? heck yeah! Today we'll build a DIY Mac mini Wii conversion perfect for retro gaming on a Mac. Wii games, Nintendo Gamecube, even PS2 emulation through Dolphin and Aethersx2 in the package of a Wii? Heck yeah!
