Hi guys i was just wondering if i could hook up this lcd screen to my dreamcast cus i wanna make it portable. Please help!

Most likely, not, unless you get a controller board, which can cost more that a new LCD with composite/component inputs.

If it has the right inputs, it should work.

oh ok i know what your on about you must think im dumb

so how do i connect it

[nevermind1534]

If it has these for an input (look for an input, not an output), you just connect it up internally.

First you should make sure that it's input and not output. It should say something above the port like input, output, or input/output. If it's the latter than there may be a switch somewhere on the dvd player to switch it from output to input.

As for telling you where to solder the wires we would need a clear picture of the circuit board of where the inputs are, both sides to be safe.
