Will this LCD work?

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.

Thats a URL, not an image.
It says it is for PDAs, so most likely no.

It always sucks when you find something, think of all the awesome things you could do with it, and find out it won't work.

I wonder first if that is like a real joystick. If it is, maybe you could replace the psp's joystick with it

Perhaps could be a replacement to the d-pad on portables like the NES, SNES, 2600?

you could but why would you want to that stick is absolute crap for classic games, there are people on the gp32x boards trying to replace it with a d-pad because it is such a pain in the ass to use sometimes, i would also have to say its definitly the worst part of my 2x and i would definitly trade a NES pad for it anyday

Well, I haven't actually used the stick, so it was just an idea.

It could be used as an easy replacement for the d-pad for an N64p.
