Help with RGB mod for Intec lcd Psone

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.

Help with RGB mod for Intec lcd Psone

Post by wendyl15 »

All,

I have an Intec lcd screen 4" for the Psone. This one has a tray that the Psone sits in and the power for the lcd comes from the Psone adpater. I would like if possible to mod it for RGB for arcade pcb testing. Anyone know if this is possible? I have taken it apart and it has a Sharp lcd screen and the a/v signals go straight into the pcb that connects to the lcd. Anyone know where I could find pinout or a mod instruction for this that would be great. Thank You!

I had the 4" and it is not possible to do an RGB mod to it. The chips convert only composite video to the digital signal the TFT uses.

Ya there is no RGB pinout. Sorry. :(
You could try a RGB to composite mod, but i'm pretty sure it would involve encoding and it's more of a pain in the butt that it's worth. :x
You could try to find a converter online somewhere but i'm not sure if they even exist.
In other words, get a screen that accepts RGB, like the 5" psone screen, becaue the PSONE SCREEN ROCKS!!!
