modding a PS1 screen for A/V inputs

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.

modding a PS1 screen for A/V inputs

Post by monster »

how can i get my PS1 screen to accept AV inputs? (those are the white, yellow, and red cables that you hook into the back of your TV)

sorry if this is a repost, it seems so simple, yet i have not been able to find anything on it.

L and R audio makes sense, but where does video go in?

You could use the combo of the video and audio on the back for simplicity.

Wouldn't have mad much of a difference. You would get a screwed up image, but it wouldn't hurt the screen.

He means the audio video jack on the back of the psone screen where you can hook up composite and stereo no problemhttp://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c ... id=274-369
This will only give you mono though (Not the sickness) :lol: .

uh oh, better make some calls :x

i am having a heck of a time getting the N64 expansion socket off, along with the game controllers, i got a spring loaded solder sucker from radioshack, it kinda works, although it's probably my technique.

P.S. there are 2 black wires on the back of the Multi-out cable, are these bothe the same ground? they travel down along the inside of the AV wires
