Screen Question

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.

Screen Question

Post by ValiantVenality »

I was just wondering if the interact psone screen turns on without having to connect to a console?

Can you be a little more specific?

-There are 2 interact PSOne screens.
-Do you mean off of battery or wall power?
-Modified or unmodified?

Most screens turn on when power is given to them, there isn't a switch or anything. Even if it isn't attatched to a PSOne
Hey, sup?

You can buy a battery for it........now if you could scan in a pic of it(make it big) I can tell u some pinouts...and if you want a switch to power it, just buy a regular old switch at Rat Shack! Then just do the simple wiring....Now heres my question:(i didnt want to make a new thread for it)

Ok, now on the PSOne screen pinouts, the connectors that go into the main pcb........if i wanted to power it from those, could i just wire the red wire to 7.5 volts and the black wire to ground? Or wouldn't that work? It's really noobish, but i dont know the answer, nor can i answer it....so any help?
