hey guys, this is a pretty cool forum, i might start visiting by here

just a question, i have this (maybe 640x280, or something) screen that i got, it there any magic way to find out how to control it, or am i just screwed and the only usefulness being the backlight =p

from what i hear, the answer is probably no, but i figured i'd post and say hi anyways

what brand of screen is it maybe some pics would help
if its a gaming or pocket tv then most likely sure its usable

If that LCD board has an actual Composite Video Out area there, then sure.

woah that looks like one huge screen

were did you get it from does it have RCA inputs

that looks like it would make a huge portable maybe you could build the first X-box portable eh

green · Post by **green** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:05 pm

yeah it is pretty big

but if you're judging by the screwdriver, don't, it's a small one, there's a pop can up higher

but it is big

$7 at radar electric, they had a big box of em so i was like what the heck, i have money

it doesn't seem to have labels.. =\ i don't know what kind of inputs it has.... it DOES seem to have SOME sort of controller on board, doncha think though? with all those ICs

scan'd =p warning, big.

Yeah you'll need to make a controller board for that... and that unfortunately is out of the reach of most people. (Unless you're Kevin Horton once again)

Green do I know you from somewhere.. perhaps the anim8or forums?

green · Post by **green** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:12 pm

haha i thought so marshall, but i didn't know if it was marshallh or marshallr

nice to see a familiar, um, username

Post by **marshallh** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:14 pm

I haven't been over to the forum for a while, I'll pop back over when my game is near completion :p

All Anim8or models

And green do you think I should post my portable n64 on the anim8or forums? I think some people would be interested to see it

green · Post by **green** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:17 pm

oo, nice stuff marshall

hey did you ever finish the dino game?

lol am i going way too off topic, what's the rules here..

edit

oh post the n64? sure

just post it in the general board and i'm sure joe wouldn't mind

Post by **marshallh** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:20 pm

Unfortunately I couldn't finish it.. It was growing to be an unmanageable hunk of code with outdated standards, so I'm writing this one with DirectX 8 Immediate Mode (harder, but worth it.)

I should model my n64 and put on the anim8or forum

Mods if we're causing a problem please let us know.

green · Post by **green** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:24 pm

heh that'd be pretty cool, no ones ever modelled a mod'd, well, anything

(um what are the rules for going off topic here?

sorry if i'm breaking them..)

Normal screens are 4:3, this is like, 8:3...

Wow, that's a pretty long screen. Any product #s?

green · Post by **green** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 7:33 pm

hmm product #s? well the back has pretty much all the numbers, GEB-22 would be my guess for the thing itself, or all the numbers on the gold thing

or are you looking for product number from the store? i have no idea, it's pretty unorganised
