Hey I got a Hipgear Screenpad for $10 at future shop, I open the box, and 2 things come to my mind, Does this thing take A/V without having to MOD it somehow?

And theres like some kind of cardboard over the screen, how do i get it off?

Thanks.

Yes, but you need av couplers.
It has multi in for that system, if you look. so, all you have to do is hook that system's cord up, then the rca plugs to av couplers, then those are your pseudo jacks. That is How I did it

First, take the nintendo multi cord. There are two jacks on the end of the cord of the screen/controller itself, back to back. The male and female ends of the multi jack. Plug the nintendo cord into the multi jack there. Get an av coupler, plug it into the rca plugs on the nintendo cord. on the other side of the av coupler are jacks. Use them. fire up the screen, and bam. <.<

Thanks.

Well I could make a portable nintendo 64, without using a cupler

Also, I find that the hipgear screen gets scratched EASILY. Like I wiped my shirt on it, and bam like 100 stratches, weird. I know its not realy the screen, its just the plastic covering it.

Bump, okay I have the hipgear screen pad case open (Controller case and screen case)

Can someone show me how to detatch the controller from the screen?
(Hopefully it doesnt involve soldering or desoldering).

Thanks.

Actually never mind, as I found a easier way for me.
I broke like everybutton and thing off of the GC controller, and left it on, yea it makes the size somewhat bigger but the board is like thin, and this way I can keep the N64/GC output and plug in a GC/N64 to A/V cord and get cuplers.
