Help

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 use a screen from a gamegear as the screen for an SNESp?

You would have to use a tv tuner, but that would be the only way. I would just get a better screen.

the gamegear uses digital RGB, you would have to build a complex digital to analog controller board and a chroma decoded(if your system doesnt do rgb), the NOMAD on the other hand takes standard analog RGB so dont go calling people pricks when your wrong ok :evil:

The screens aren't very good anyway, low resolution and high power consumption.

The game gear cases though are pretty handy for a portable.

After buying all the parts to make a crappy screen work, you end up spending about $80; so the answer to your question is yes, but it's not practical. You can buy a HipGear/Intec for about $20, or if you're lucky like me, as low as $5 (thanks Journeyfanatic!). Even a PSOne screen is in the $40 range and is MUCH cheaper than using a GG screen.
