Could you do this????

Post by CronoTriggerfan »

I was thinking about geekbait111's post on powering units, so I had an idea; could you do the same thing only with a screen, preferrably a Gamecube one? Also, could you strip apart a SNES A/V jack and a PSOne A/V jack and connect them to make a SNES run off of the PSOne screen? If it can be done, how would one go about such a thing?

sure, if you can give them the same voltage (or else put a resistor in front of one)

take the + part of your battery (whether it's a battery pack or the positive end of a bunch of cells in series, whatever) and connect it to the + parts of both the system and screen. Do the same with - and the ground points.

The video is actually quite easy. Find the spot on the motherboards where audio and video is inputted/outputted, and connect the 2 parts with your average wire (maybe use 2 wires at each point if the wire is thin, to give it a bit better quality) Then connect the grounds of the systems together :)

The type of plug (or lack of it) does not matter at all, as long as the connection from point A to point B is there, and you have the right voltages :)

I'll be honest with you - I would have never guessed that.
