CyberHome 2500B Portable Mini-DVD *works*

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.

CyberHome 2500B Portable Mini-DVD *works*

Post by Oldbitcollector »

I've been a long-time lurker of these forums. There's always been great information here! This time I thought it was time to post one of my own.

I noticed that around the end of the year someone tried the Cyberhome player in an attempt to convert it to a usable screen. You gave up too soon..

Several of us at the Propeller (Microcontroller) forum thought we'd give it another go, and it's working as a composite NTSC monitor. Not bad for $19.

I got it working last night..
Here's the link to the hack instructions as well as the item itself.

I have to ask, does this player support JPEG slideshows? It'd make an awesome Digital Picture Frame hack, on top of the obvious portablizing.

2.5 inches is aobut HipGear-screen size innit, or like, Nomad/Gamegear size?

oh man, I was about to post this. Last night I was looking up some (I believe it was how to change the color of an iPod mini) and this popped up, the warranty void site that is. still a kickass hack!

Edit: oh, I did not realize that you did it, well good job, I am in awe of your awesomeness!
