PSOne Screen with GCN

Post by heywha? »

I recently bought a PSOne screen to use with my semi-portable playstation. Is there any way that I can hook this up to my gamecube? I want to be able to do this where I don't actually have to modify either my screen or my 'cube. I'm looking for something that will convert the GCN's output to RCA.

the GC's video output doesn't need to be converted into RCA (which isn't really a type of video, just a cable). just take the av cable, plug in the video and audio jacks into the psone screen by way of the av in jack (you'll need an RCA input adapter, though) and you can play gc games on your psone screen :)!!!

Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Then plug the yellow and white plugs into it, then plug it into the back of the psone screen labled "a/v in".

yeah, I got one that looks just like that one, and it works fine :) (although right now my GC's hooked up to my psone screen via custom wiring ;))

yeah, lately a lot of threads have been posted in Forum 42 rather than the forums where they should be posted.......even Ben doesn't post in the right forums (usually). he justs posts in F42....but since he is the portablizing master/king/founder, I suppose it's ok :P.

Sorry

Sorry, I didn't know the PSOne screen fit into pocket TVs. I have one more question though. I got that part from radioshack, plugged it into my screen, and it worked. I played for about half an hour, pulled the plug out, and left for soccer practice. When I got back, I tried plugging it in again and it didn't work. The jack on the screen doesn't feel snug anymore. Could it be that it somehow got jostled around inside the screen? If so, how could I fix this? If at all possible, I want to avoid messing up my screen. I was told that to open it up you have to take off the rubber pads and pry it open with a screw driver.

Would one of those even work with an N64? Because that is what I am using for my N64p, so I just wanted to know before I get too into this.

Clarification

Post by heywha? »

I decided to just open up my screen, because I couldn't jiggle the jack around and get a picture. I think that the actual input jack is messed up. Can I get a replacement jack for my screen? If so, is it easy to install?

1 not sure
2 it would be easier to hardwire a bit of cable coming from the screen that ended in a standard RCA jack. This way you dont have to screw around with adaptors, and its easier to hook stuff up.
