how small

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 don't think size has anything to do with the inputs. You'll have to look at the individual units to see if they have that feature.

Of course there's 2.5" pocket TVs and 5" portable color TVs.

But for stationary TVs I think the smallest standard size is 13".

Well you could make one. Just get a small screen (I think the PSOne Screen can do this) and then get 3 conectors (Red white and Yellow) and then make your own. It's really not that hard.

Ok just to let you know I haven't done this, but it should work in thery.

First do this http://www.benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... 9&start=21

With this you are connecting to pins one, two and three on the second connector shown in this thread. http://www.benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... 9&start=21

Then get some of these. Image
(The Yellow one is what you need, ignore the rest)

Then just connect the Yellow, white and red wires to the yellow, white and red jacks and you should be in buisness.

Once again I havn't done this, tho it is theoreticly posible.

Again, yes you should be able to thoreticly plug any system or camcorder or VD player if you wish, into the AV jacks.

But again, I havn't done this, so you can't blame me if it dosn't work. There has to be someone on this forum who has done something similar.

EDIT: Radio Shack prolly has some, you can get them almost anywhere, or if your like me and can solder well find an old free VCR and take them out of it.

They are just RCA jacks, any store that sells electronics will have them.
