N64 display questions

Post by Gphack83 »

Hi guys and gals. I'm getting started on my portable N64 project. I have a few questions about the display I plan on using. I have a mint condition Gameboy Advanced SP that I'm not using anymore.

Is it possible to use the LCD from the SP as a display for the N64? If so, how would I go about modifying the ribbon cable connector so it can be soldered onto the main board?

No it's not possible.

And for future reference this kind of stuff is basic Sticky 101 :)

It is of course possible, but also impossible. (If that makes sence).

Yes it is technically possible. With an Innovation Gba Tv Tuner.

But you would have to put the entire Gba Sp in the system , plus the Tv Tuner.

So no, it's not possible. :P

Yeah I see what you mean. Those tuners are way too big for portable use and I bet they will kill the batteries i planned on using.

The gba sp's display is 2.5" x 1.5" and yes you could use the gba sp for your portable but you would have to make room for the entire gba sp plus the tv tuner. Hailrazor did a little review on the 3 most common 3.5" lcds on the market which are a really small and will fit inside of pretty well any case, heres the link.
