PSone screen?

Sharp Sapphire · Post by **Sharp Sapphire** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 12:34 pm

So far I know that the PSone only has the AV in (http://www.retroleum.co.uk/gfx/z80/psoneLCD_front.jpg), but I don't know how to hook that up... How do i convert that to a RCA/the 1 wire that the NES uses?

I found a 3rd party NES screen that already has a RCA connection, which will make it easy

should I use a 3rd party screen or a official PSone screen? I still need info on the PSone screen before I can decide..

Ugh, do they sell it at borders?

That "one wire" is RF, not composite video. It won't work on the PSone screen unless you send it through a tuner, for example a VCR.

The NES already has usable audio and video ports on the side; just use them instead.

Err- How do I convert the AV from the PSone screen to a RCA?

You can grab a 1/8" to RCA stereo adapter from Radio Shack since all you want is mono sound. The composite input for the PSOne screen is actually a headphone looking jack on the rear of the bottom section. That A/V port in the photo you posted is for RGB video.

I don't know if Borders will still have Ben's book, but they should be able to order it for you, if you can't/won't buy online.

I went to both Borders and Barnes and Nobel, no luck.

headphone looking back on the rear bottom? so what adapter would I need for that?

That screen takes in RCA, right?[/url]

Use official PSOne screen. It takes all kinds of signals. With further search, you'll get tons of info. That's pretty easy to apply any signal.

Ok, do you guys know of any book stores that actually carry Ben's book? i might just have to buy it online :/

How many AA's/C batteries would it take to run a PSone screen for 2-3 hours?

I'm figuring about this should work:

2X C's
3X AA's

Matches the 7.5Volts, and providing 18400mAh.. dedicated torwards the PSone and a 2.1V LED that will be taken down epochly with resistors.

wont be 18400ma out of those batteries

if you have 6 2500ma batteries in series the batteries dont have 15000ma, you still have 2500ma unless you wire more in parallel.

It will be parallel.

Then you won't have 7.5V. It will be 1.5V (or whatever one battery of yours amounts to).

Well thats annoying.

Hmmm

How about both?

Hehe, that would be way too many batteries though.

Honestly, what do most people use to power a PSone screen?

Wait, wouldn't this work?:

the mAh's from the C's, voltage from AA's..
