If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.
i now you can hack it and make it work for any system but can you just easily put the ps1 lcd screen from right out from the box and hook it on the old big verison of the ps2.
You can hook it up through the AV in jack using a special plug and the PS1 Power supply. The screen case is curvy shaped so you cannot simply plug it into the back of the PS2.
Actually, no. I checked and the PS2 doesn't use the same AV plug as the PSone, so you couldn't do that. See, I wanted to test a PSone I got for $4, but I had no controller or AV cable, so I took it to my friend's house. His PS2 AV cable wouldn't fit in the AV jack, (though the controller fit fine). I eventually realized that I should test it with my PSone screen .
Odd. I have a PS2 AV cable hooked up to my computer and a PSone AV cable hooked up to my living room TV. I use all three systems (PSX, PSone, PS2) on both screens without switching the cables, and it works just fine.
well maybe the PS1 AV cable does work on them all but not PS1 on them all, or some weird combination like that(like the memory cards, PS1 mem fits in the PS2 slot, but PS2 cards wont fit in the PS1 slot)
