How to connect a LCD directly to the super nintendo

[ABCinc]

Hey, im new, and i was wondering how to connect the LCD cables directly to the SNES, but I was wondering which lead is which, pictures is what im looking for to learn how to find out which cable leads where, example, which leads make up the video composite lead. Please help if you can.

be specific. what kind of lcd is it, what inputs does it have. saying "the lcd" doesnt help us help you.

I'm pretty sure he means which pins to solder to, which should be documented somewher on here... I'll see if I can find it.

Her is a picture, it is a 7" LCD that came with a portable DVD player.



This is the close up view, well it is as close as i could get with my auto focus.

errrm, if there isn't an A/V in or composite RCA jacks on that, you won't be able to put video into that...

well on the DVD part, there are Video and audio output, can I use those to find the input points?
But I thought I could use the direct ports from the DVd player to the LCD, so, is there any other way? Cuz i was going to cut the wires and start fresh with them to the Video import on the SNES, if thats not possible just say,

that will only work if the dvd player supports video in, and even then you would need to keep the entire mobo intact. plus, that screen is 16:9, so if you somehow managed to get it to work, (which you wont) the video from a snes would be stretched.

just buy a psone lcd.

OK thanx for the info.

Well, wait a minute. I'm assuming this is your first project, ABCinc? There's nothing wrong with using a DVD playe screen for a first project, they're cheap, easy to find, and they usually come with batteries.

Now, if you can find a way to get composite out of your screen, then just solder the wires to pins 10 and 11 on the AV out port if you want just mono sound, and if you want left and right audio, don't solder to pin 11, instead solder left audio to pin 4 and right audio to pin 1 on the small 8 pin IC beneath the AV port leads.

Ya, but the only thing he said is that there is a/v output, not input.
If there is no input, there is probably no way to use that screen.

The majority of DVD players encode the video as Y/C to the screen controller. But I have no idea if it is standard or not, or if the sync is separate or not.

[ABCinc]

OK, ill just stick with a ps1 LCD for my first project.

All DVD players are incredibly different on what they encode or not. It's usually onl a standard within the company that assembles it.
Honestly, it would be nice if all of them use a standard, but I'm pretty sure that's not so.
