My bad. I had googled it, and my info was wrong.

However, you'd want to make a switch controlling the change from fullscreen to everyone-only-sees-their-own-screen view because otherwise setting up games would be much more difficult - games don't go into splitscreen until the gameplay starts.

Edit: 600th post! 600 / 88 days = about 6.8 posts per day

Cool Ideas. But how possible would this be. Would I need some chips and a PIC Controller? Those I cannot afford and be highly difficult for an 11 year old. But if this is vaguely possible I would like to know about it. This kinda stuff interests me and if only a small circuit is required I would gladly intergrate it in my portable. Just BTW I have loads of cool ideas but half I have no idea how to pull off. Again stating the fact I can't really help in any prgramming or circuitry but if building is easy I will do it.

I figured that, pretty much all the info pre-2008 that I can find claims they are 640x480. I had an idea that is how you got confused, but I wanted to practice my classic bait'n'switch post. ;) See, some people would have said something like "LOLOL U NOOB THE PSONE IS 640x480 U TARD LOL". By purposely leaving the flaw in their argument open, you can leverage it a lot further when they try and justify it. :P

@Zealot: This is possible in theory, but the work required, and the parts that would be needed, are just not worth the benefit for the few games that would benefit. :(

You mean like this thing I made a couple months ago?

I've just got the A/V wires taped back, so I can put in A/V I/O jacks. Sorry to steal "your invention". :P

That's an awesome idea. I'm using that in my next N64 portable

Dang, I thought I was a genius when I thought up the idea to use an internet cable for multiplayer. (it was before I found out about lob64

Yay! It's even got a 3v source to power the controllers so it doesn't drain the portable's batteries! And it has Marshall's approval!

No. :lol: The idea that someone else had, made, then you think you invented again. ;)

Nice box! I was planning on doing something like that, but with USB.

I was wondering what invention marshallh was reffering to and did I not invent it? I haven't seen this anywhere on the forums.

lob64 was invented by life of brian (hence "lob") long before you joined the forums :?

I'm pretty sure he meant the controller port breakout box for the LOB64.
The LOB64 is exactly what you want, it just assumes that people would use N64p's since a screen with a N64 controller is pretty useless on its own, but a screen and controller like you want will work. Here is the LOB64 thread. Dunno if anyone has made a splitter yet to connect more than 2 systems, but you should be able to make your own and still meet the LOB64 standard.

I'd make a splitter, shouldn't be hard, but making it look nice so others could use them...that might be tricky, but doesn't only like 1 or two people have lob64 installed right now? It should be standard in every console....

I did it before all of you, in my 5th portable, there was a 12 pin plug on top that had the same pinout as the lob64. I used it to connect it to a box kinda like Mario's except mine had the n64's av plug on it, although all that was attached on the n64 plug was composite.
