Where could I find Zate screens? I want to have a look at them even if I won't buy then..if I get enough money I might use it to build another one...I could always make some cash if I finish this....

hmm... i'm having problems finding it now on ebay... but, the outside looks exactly like this but says "zate" on it. that screen might be the same thing, just a different name...

AAH....I would buy that screen actually if it only shipped to Canada....I'd rather buy from there then from China...Also the screen is probably a lot higher quality then the chinese people sell....Time to go kep looking for a screen...

Edit: Found an awesome screen...

15 bucks shipping to where I live, only problem is that the auction still has 8 days..and who knows how much the price will bump up...What do you guys think about this screen?

what kind of video input does it utilize? the auction doesn't seem to say (kind of important thing to know)

I honestly don't knwo...all the other screens I looked at ahve RCA inputs...but this one I really don't know...I'll ask the seller in a few days...

I can always get a chinese screen...I don't know the quality though...they are either pustom or super...anybody have any good luck with those?

Being a camera screen, your chances are good it's useable. Especially as it looks like they're using a portable dvd player for the picture. I can't guarantee it would work, but I think it will.

Ya it does lok like it's a dvd being played so who knows...it's at 10 bucks right now, plus 15 shipping that's 25 bucks...still cheaper then anything else but there is still 7 days....I might just buy a super screen...they look nice but I can't tell if they're thin sadly...

I looked at the games the N-joypad has...and it's selection is horrible! Unless I can mod a cart slot on it I'm not getting it...I'm gonna go get a super joy and hack it up..Decent selection of games..but requires more effort..and it will be totally worth it.

No way are you going to fit a superjoy in a GBA SP, unless you do a LOT of rewiring. And if it cant use real NES carts anyway, why not just use an emulator on the GBA SP?

Because it defies the point...and I can do a lot of rewiring...It won't have a cart slot...but that can reworked by taking apart a game, desoldering everything and attaching it to a gameboy game sized perfboard....but that's to much work...

And it probablty is possible...I don't use the controller pcb, I switch to tact switches which saves the two huge sides of the board, it can be done....I"LL MAKE IT!....MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Ok I'm done......I'll get it to work though...worst comes to wrose I get a different NOAC...

This is going to be interesting.

The batteries won't fit.

Remember, the guy who put the NOAC in an NES controller had no battery or screen. Why do you think nobody has made an NESP the size of an SP before? Try a DS Phat, or maybe a gamegear.

i hope you attempt this and are successful! and then show us all the pictures, of course!

take a word from the wise... before you even start, make sure to measure everything, and i mean everything, to make sure it will fit.

No! That is not as much fun!

Take a word from the idiot who made his entire N64p case before seeing if the parts would fit: Remaking the case is half the fun!
