Putting av output on a portable

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.

Putting av output on a portable

Post by thewise1 »

Alright, this didn't go so well on my last portable and just ended up being a second headphone jack.

I want to know how to properly wire an av output. I know how to wire it to any jack. My question is how to do it without a switch.

Apparently you can't connect a screen and the av output at the same time. I couldn't even get it working when it did have a switch. So I have to be missing something here.

So how do you hook up av output with out a switch?

BTW: (psone screen and n64 in case you need to know)

I think you can connect screen and av output at the same time? I did it with my semi complete n64p but that was with a portable dvd player screen.

I said in the first post that I've tried that and it didn't work. I'm not sure why it works with common av cables though.

Mabey you could try wireing in a relay on the ground line for auto swithig when plugged in? Just an idea.
