im a very stubborn person so....

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 checked out his site :http://www.bripro.com/low/hardware/vidc ... ge=gba#lcd

apparently the GBA out puts somethin on RGB so fi the GBA outputs it than the GBA LCD must input it. Sooooooooooo couldn't the GBA LCD be used by itself to input RGB and make some neato portables? ( neato, haven't heard that in a while have you?)

Good luck making a d/a converter for the custom gba signal :P I know a mod shop in Germany did it for the n64 so PAL units could have RGB

There's a GBA to TV card, so why not a TV to GBA card?

I was reading on a site, a guy did something like that (maybe not, I don't know much about anything in this field).

Anyways, he had an incompatible screen, so he made this huge board to make it compatible...I'll try to find the site...

EDIT: Off topic, some probably know this (or put it there) Ben on Wikipedia. SOrry, I found that amusing.

I was looking up some stuff for school, then wound up looking at Ben's money shot on that Wiki.

I dont know if its possible to seperate the video in circuit from the system board, but you could use that out of the Time Machine. For those that dont know, the Time Machine is a NOAC (NES on a chip) that you plug into your GBA SP and then a game cart and you can play NES games on it.

Just something that you could look at as a possiblity.
