Intec 2.5 Screen - Need Lots Of Help

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.

Use a multimeter to find the connection that is ground, then compare that to the other set of pins, for example, if "X" is ground and "-" is everything else; if you find:

----X--

and the other side is

--X----

then you know the connector on the left (top pic) connects to the right (bottom pic).

Well, that's how I wired it on my NES portable, and its screen works fine, so I would assume the diagram is correct.
