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.

I still think that you had an LED in backwards, because the resistor shouldn't. How many LEDs did you use, and what were the power requirements?

you don't need the board in the base of the screen if you connect the stuff to the slots on the bottom of the screen pcb

*o* go with a 22 ohm resistor because when i did a 10 ohm it would always fry my leds and crazy crap would happen too
when life gives you lemons make flux

the resistor all depends on the specs of the leds and how many you use....
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

yeah 10ohm is off i used 22(or 27 i think) and its much better. Use that voltage calculator(some one has the link)........ oh wait I do
http://www.besthongkong.com/clrc.htm#parallel you should get 22 or 27ohm and both make it plenty bright.

Protable X - 15% - I need money
