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.

Radioshack only sells 5mm white LEDs (and ridiculously overpriced ones at that), which are too big to fit in the PSone screen's backlight "box". You'll need to find some bright 3mm ones, and unless there's an electronics supply store somewhere near you, you're probably going to have to get them online.

well digikey has a minimum order of 25$ what are you complaining about, and to me 8$ is a good deal because you dont have to wait or pay for shipping!

Digikey has a $5 handling charge if you spend less than $25. You can also try mouser.com; no minimum price from them.

Hm.. why do they say they run on AC? Unless they had a bridge rectifier you'd see it flashing at 30hz (not good for the eyes!)
