Well, I've managed to figure that the problem with the screen is that it's not detecting 60hz when it should be, hence the flickering of the screen. I'm going to open it up and see if there's any way I can fix that, does anyone know how screens that auto switch from 50hz to 60hz and vice-versa are ...

I managed to get a Jap Chrono Trigger Cart recently for £3 ($6), which I thought was quite a good deal.

Well, this one I actually got for about £60-£70 (I think around $100...), but I got it a while back as a birthday present I asked for. I don't use it too much though, hence why I would like to use it as a portable, but am reluctant to tear it to pieces without thinking about it, as it would be ...

This is a huge tangent but:

The current stays constant throughout a circuit, what goes in comes out. The voltage is "used up" by the circuit, to that whatever voltage comes in, it goes out as 0. In a series circuit (which I'm assuming this particular instance is, as putting the resistor in parallel ...

I think resistors slow down the CURRENT. ie. amps, not voltage.
Resistors change the voltage, remember:

V = IR
(Ohm's Law)

So the higher the resistance, the higher the voltage "used up" on that resistor, so the less voltage left for the rest of the circuit.

Yeh, it is a pretty good screen. The reason I can't be bothered to keep it as it is for my gamecube is because I think the backlight's broken, whenever I use a 60hz game it gets really bright.

Obviously if I hack it I should be able to fix that, though I also get SNES games sometimes making the ...

Joytech 5.6" Gamecube Screen

Has anyone hacked this screen before? I'm intending to use it for a SNESp. I hear the screen is only avaliable in PAL territories though, so I doubt anyone's used it before.

It has RGB input, and takes 12V DC power. It's designed for Gamcube, but I've tested it with the video output of my SNES and ...

Extreme, you're going to have loads of trouble getting a SNES mini over here (is British also). The only ones around are american ones on ebay, and they're hard to come by and very expensive.

I've got 2 spare PAL SNES's which I'm going to mess with to see if it's possible to cut down the circuitry ...
