Question about the Xbox Hip Screenpad

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.

Question about the Xbox Hip Screenpad

Post by TheOnlyOneHeFears »

Is the circuit board inside the Xbox version of the Hip Screenpad the same as the PS2 version? Would ladyada's pinouts and segasonicfan's picture apply to the Xbox version? If so, then I am SORTED for a screen :p Once I get it, I'll tell you UK people where to get it from :)

I think it's the controller G-Force used for his LED skull mod (which was so sweet :p)

EDIT: Packaging picture

I'm pretty sure it's the same

Yes, the motherboards in all models of the HipGear (PS2, GC, and Xbox) are all the same.

I've had a few minor differences between a few I've toyed with. On some, the backlight is soldered to the board, and on others it has a connector. also, I couldn't get the monitor from one (ribbon cable, rather) to fit into a second board... other than that, easy stuff.
