GameGear, Video-Out

DrRobotnic · Post by **DrRobotnic** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 6:53 pm

Hmm, People have thought of this before. But is it plausable?
THe smallest way to have a SMS portable is by using a GameGear, using the MasterGear, and adding a PSone screen (Because GG screens are crap!). Hmm, plausable?
THe problem i seem to have is getting video out of the GG. However, someone has done an RGB version. But is there an easier way to get out composite video without designing a RGB converter to add to the portable?

Thanks in advance

James

sorry, but I believe you have to build the chroma decoder board like Mr horton did (Or was that with something else?)

Anyway, sorry, you cant grab composite off that board.

The GG is like a Game Boy, there isn't a point on the board where youc an solder a composite-out lead to. You'd have to reverse-engineer the screen controller, which is anything but easy.

The Nomad, on the other hand, only needs a chroma decoder board to accept a composite signal input, and IIRC it has AV out... but there's no Master Gear-like device for it.

(Plus the Nomad screen sucks anyways because it's not TFT

)

Actually there is a TV tuner for the GG, which can get a AV out feature.

Here is an interesting page about it.

It's not easy, but it's possible
