I like 'em big

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 like 'em big

7 inch screen will make a cool portable for my gorilla hands and old-guy vision.

Should've gone bigger!

Nice win though. What portable are you going to make, or is it a secret?

I'll just have to get some plutonium off of ebay as well. :wink: I fly back and forth to the states a lot on "escort missions", so I can keep a big battery pack in my carry on and power it through a input jack.

I haven't decided what system I'm going to use it for. I've got most of the parts for a SFC (SNES) portable, thinking about hard-wiring in a gameboy slot through a super-gameboy so I could play GB and SNES/SFC carts on one system. I'm a bigger fan of the original NES, but I think a screen this big needs a genesis, psone or N64 attached to it.

I don't know where you got 2.61GW, but that is basically unpowerable. That means that even if you had 240V, 10.875MA. That's almost 11 million amps!
