psone lcd to vga

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.

Lucky for you had this link saved before hand.

The person that did the mod then set his PSOne screen in the case and had it display things like the skin/face of the mp3 player or something like that.

Hmm...can I get all these wires out of the normal PSOne connector? ^^

I'd like to try this...but I only have 1 screen, and it is 3rd party.

I don't want to risk damaging it...

Also, there is some problem with that page, ato the message boards. First, some of the pics are stolen. Second, the CSync compatability isn't that high, only a few ATI cards supporting it. This site is the original and has a schematic to change C-Sync to seperate H-Sync and V-Sync.

You also have to run a program to force your vga card to output 15khz. You might wanna check to make sure that the card you're using is compatible with it.

what my uderstanding of the csync thing was that if you dont have a csync card than there will be about a 1cm drop at the top

Well, I'm thinking that the normal VGA output is about 31Khz, so maybe a J/K Flip-Flop can change the 31KHz to about 15.5KHz in hardware....it would give a MUCH closer range to normal to work with your card....just an Idea, though
