cell phone screen?

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.

Whoever you are, you should read the screens section, but to answer your question (like if you dont really know), YOU CAN'T USE THAT SCREEN.

You may be able to make it work, but it wouldn't be worth it as it is small and black & white/green.

Edit: And it would be almost impossible to make it work!!!!!!!!

Aren't cell phone screens low-res compared to a tv or a hip gear? Is all this relevant?

If you're worrying about space, what about the lcd Ben's using in the Pheonix?

Yeah, but I already have this phone and don't want to buy another one.

Unless you have very good tech knowledge, it would be almost impossible to use and wouldn't be worth the effort.

Why is this still being discussed? It doesnt have enough pixels for a dot-matrix GBO, nevermind a damned X-Box, youre dumber than him if you think a little code can make this possible.

I didn't say it would just need a code, it would require much more and I said it wouldn't be worth the effort. :roll:

It takes code when you have to reprogram the majority of the game.

You could make a different kind of input. But the size and type of screen wouldn't be worth it.

He never said anything about reprogramming the games, he could've meant re-encoding the video.

I'd imagine that the game would need reprogramming to make a display of a few hundred pixels vs. the original several thousand or million.
