leap frog

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.

See if the screen gets it's input from the same trace that supplies the composite signal it outputs to televisions. There you will get your awnser.

Leap Frog? :wtf:. Atari, that's straight of the bat no. There are no analog input points on these kind of LCD's AT ALL. Nevertheless, my little brother has one of these and the quality SUCKS. Those analog points you say were all output for a larger TV screen.

In short: NO!

Have you even looked? It sounds logical that Leapfrog would just use an off the shelf analog-input LCD than to have some company build some w/ digital-input PCB's specifically designed for the system itself. (But w/ Nintendo it's different, as they manufacture their systems on a much larger scale)

EDIT: The screen outputs composite, just for the record...

Err, digital interface to LCDs is fairly standard and cheap, so no need to have the extra circuitry to decode NTSC in embedded devices.

Not imposible for a screen inside a device to be composite, but it is the exception, not the rule.
