GBA to PSOne screen?

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.

GBA to PSOne screen?

Post by Kyosho »

I'm thinking for my next (small) project, I might want to make a GBA along the lines of dkap's. For the bigger screen. I always hated playing my GBA games on that small screen, that's why I sold it a couple years ago.

Is there a way of doing this without using either a "GBA TV" or "GBA Transverter"?

I'm mainly thinking of doing this with a standard old landscape-design GBA rather than spend a bit more for an SP. But if it's possible to do with an SP without buying a GBA TV or Transverter, then maybe it would be cheaper to use an SP.

Consequently, does anyone know what dkap used?

There's this thing... I forget. You take off the back of the GBA, and you put this new one on that has video out ports or something. I know it's possible but I don't know how. This is for the old GBA, not the SP.

The SP screen is not like the PSone screen, so no, you can't just connect a PSone screen to the SP.

Hope this helps! :?

If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.

That would be the GBA TV. Or maybe the GBA Transverter. The ones I mentioned. They both do that.

If you're talking digital vs. analog, etc. I know that. It's just that there's been a lot of SP-related mods, so I thought more was possible with it than the standard GBA.
