Grr I knew I should have done the PSone LCD in a Game Gear.

I'll race you! Ready.. Set...
Done!

thats impossible, the psone screen alone doesnt fit in.

yeah, it's impossible to have a GCp inside a gamegear...I'm telling you right now, that it is physically impossible......the screen alone doesn't fit, as said before, and I know the GC+controls+battery won't fit...so try making a bigger case, ok

?

Maybe he plans to cut the mother board into smaller pieces and recconnect the traces

Post by **Gamelver** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 8:21 pm

even if you cut up all the pieces in a blender (inluding battery/controls/dc-dc converter/etc.) I'm willing to bet it wouldn't fit in the GG

....sorry to kind of put your idea down, zenloc, but I know the GC....your gonna have a hell of a time trying to fit even the psone screen in there...believe me, I've compared the two (GG case and PSone screen board) and it's almost impossible for even the psone screen to fit....you could cut the top off, and then the bottom, if you rewired the traces, but even if you DID get the screen in there, you'd have a lot of other stuff to fit in there....I'd suggest just getting all the guts of your GCp together, seeing the smallest and best way to arrange them, and then getting/making a case for that instead....trust me, it's a lot easier than trying to fit it into a GG

...but hell, if you manage to do it, then props to you, man

It won't fit...I already looked into it about 2 weeks ago while working on my mGENp.

:::EDIT:::
Here is a better angle on it...

It'll take up too much space...not really worth trying unless you wanna extend the width of the GG case.

well it fits i cut the motherboard and the psone screen board everything fits just the it wil be a bit thicker than the gamegear so i have to modify the case a bit i will soon put up a couple of pics showing the mother board and the psone screen in the gamegear like i said it is very possible and it will be done i'm telling you will let you know what the progress is here is a little sneak on the case a couple of days ago with the screen fitted in nothing wired though just to show you that it fits

there you go it fits and you might think the controller won't fit that's very true that why i have a smaller conrroller that does fit third party controller with exeptional good quality

thrust me it wil look great will show some pics of the GC to GG while i'm making it so you can see what i'm doing anyway like i said before i'm having a little problem with my screen i'm getting weird tornado like likes when i turn it on and it's not because i cut the motherbaord so short

beacause it worked when i cut the baord but now it's acting al weird and stuff i don't know what it is please look a couple of posts up to see what the actual problem is

HOLY does that screen still work cause i'm impressed good work!

zenloc · Post by **zenloc** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 7:38 am

see the thing is on the motherboard of the gc and the screen lots of crap can be cut of because it does nothing just find out were the pins lead to and connect it to that point and that's just what i did and it worked but all of a sudden it started to acts al weird i don't know that the problem is all the connections are all good but i keep getting these weird three tornado kind of lines very strange have to find out what the problem is anyway i'm a bit busy with my work at the moment so i'll keep you informed

Like I said before...

It'll take up too much space...not really worth trying unless you wanna extend the width of the GG case.

As for the lines, take a toothbrush, and dip it LIGHTLY in alcohol. Then go over the entire motherboard for the lcd. What this will do is help get anything that is loose or any little solder balls that made its way onto the board. Double check that nothing is crossed, and as for your connections, make sure that you don't have any strands sticking out.

what are you gonna do for the PSU i dunno if it will fit in there

G-force · Post by **G-force** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 9:04 am

Wow! I didn't think you could cut that much off the PSone screen and gamecube and still have it work! If you finish this you'll be getting a super wow from me.

What are you planning on using for the 12V battery?
