is it possible to get audio and video in one input?

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.

is it possible to get audio and video in one input?

Post by DeathJr89 »

i have an atari 10 in 1 that has a video and one audio A/V jack (one yellow and one white) and on a TV i have there is an "external antenna" so i was thinking of finding an adapter so that both of the plugs from the atari can go into the one input on the TV. is this possible? and if so, would this be the right kind of chord to do that? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... =techSpecs sorry for the long URL... if that wouldn't work, is there any way to take off the input jack on the TV and just hardwire it? help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Huge? I dunno... the one that I have for my genesis is about the size of two stacked gameboy carts. BUT... RF signals... well... sorta suck, disortion, noise, horizontal lines, color fading etc.
