Screen question

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.

Screen question

Post by Yooyenkoo »

This is a question that is probably asked all the time, but what would be the best screen to use for a portable laptop dreamcast that I'm going to be making?

The screen must be either a 14 or a 15 inch flat screen LCD with inputs for the RGB cable input from the dreamcast... What screen did Ben use for the Wii laptop?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

a dreamcast laptop wouldnt be recommendable because youd have the keyboard taking space and not doing anything, since ,unlike the ps3 and xbox360 laptops, the keyboard is used for gameplay (talking to players).

Actually if your Really lucky the boards will be the same and it will work.
And if they do go play the NY lottery!

Seriously they have allmost no chance of them working, unless you customize the board, which is 10,000 on ebay.
