Couple of Gamegear questions

I was wondering, is it (at all) possible to LED mod a Gamegear LCD?

I am wanting to build myself a Gamegear using mix-and-match... The Majesco screen and speaker are better than the original Sega version. And the Sega board has better game compatibility. So I was wondering if it's at all possible to do an LED mod to increase battery life.

Yes you can LED mod the Gamegear LCD screen to get far better Battery life, but I dont think you can replace the LCD screen because the GG sends out a special Signal and I dont remember what the Signal is called.
Just look that the Screen hacking sticky thread and it explains why.

that special signal is digital RGB, it is posible to use gamegear TV and do a mod for an analog RGB out then you could hook it up to our screen of choice a PSO!

check segasonifan's site it should be very helpful

Nononono. I meant to use a MAJESCO Gamegear screen with a SEGA motherboard. Is THAT possible?

why? the majesco is not exactly a great step higher, and unless you have one lying around they would probably be more of a hassle than just hooking up a psone lcd with LEDs and making a new case...infact if you want the hipgear screen supports RGB and you could again vist segasonicfans site and learn about that...

There would probably be the better option since the size isn't too radically differant and you may even get in the case without some extreme mods...

I would LOVE that. Except I don't have a Hipgear screen... sigh.

well then, do you have a Majesco?

IF not, Fork out a few bucks for the Hipgear screen, I believe it would be the best option

So wait... A Gamegear outputting RGB I get that that is possible... But straight to a Hipgear screen? That'd liven up my Gamegear tenfold if I could do such a mod....Especially since I use the MasterGear to play SMS titles.
