Portable DVDs. Will it work?

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.

Portable DVDs. Will it work?

Post by sonictails »

I've searched the forums, but cannot find anything that I'm looking for, so I thought I'd post a new thread.

Can you use portable DVD players that don't have any inputs? Theoritically, it should work because it's outputing composite onto an LCD screen.

It must have some kind of input, unless you hooked up a mess of converters and changed the mobo and software of the system to accept inputs.

he was being sarcastic., You can't use DVD players that don't have inputs. Those are digital, not composite.

some have been hacked to have them. Check out DVD player and 360 on youtube so see a butt load of different Choice players that have fallen the way side thanks to Ipods. warning that most of those mods, besides the cool PC case mods suck so hard, but they work... And NOT One of the suggested portable xbox mods are portable. since your new I'd point that out before you get some hopes up.
