Some video screen concepts

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.

Some video screen concepts

Post by mog123 »

1, VGA box's - hide every portable in a laptop with a LCD screen through vga boxes?

2. And this with a GameGear

Connecting the Sega GameGear to a TV, maybe it would work the other way?;x

1. "Every" system won't fit, a 360 by itself consumes a fair bit of space in Ben's laptop by itself. A original XBox motherboard isn't much smaller. However, oyu could cram several older systems that have On A Chip versions (Genesis, NES, Atari) but much more would be pushing the limits a fair bit.

Additionally, you'll need a controller that can take VGA and convert it into the signals a laptop LCD needs. ($75-200 and a lot time and energy getting it to work)

2. That adapter won't work in reverse. However, there's an adapter from Sega (called a "TVGear" I believe) that lets you put TV into a gamegear.
