how

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.

You asked for information, and I graciously provided. Also, please post in some sort of proper language. AOL-speak and the overuse of exclamation points makes you look like an ape.

^ Have you never been a member of a forum before? We'd just appreciate sentences that, when read aloud, sound like normal English. Also, there are A MILLION GUIDES ON THIS FORUM.

To answer your question, I need you to answer a few questions of my own - do you not have the power cord for the PSOne screen? Do you not have an AV cable for the PSOne screen? If not, then there are still ways to accomplish your goal but it's important to give a bit more background information. However, I guarantee you the information you will need is in the sticky.

You power it using the power cord :)

For video, you'll have to get the a/v cords from your other consoles, cut the adapters off, and solder all of them together so that all of the adapters fit onto the same cable.

Is that what you're asking?

if you just plug the ac adapter directly into the screen, it powers on. as in, don't plug the screen into the psone system.
they call me the Queen of Bondo, though maybe i should be called the Queen of Epoxy Putty

Why would you want to play that on a 5 inch screen?

Come on guys, new member here so let's try to help!

I think to answer the first post; use the PSone PSU supplied with the screen (7.5v); connect female video connectors to the composite, ground, audio (left and right), Rgb, rGb, rgB, C-Sync. That covers all the bases. You then connect the male connectors from your consoles to the female plugs to make contact.

Composite console connection - composite, ground, audio cables.
RGB console connection - Rgb, rGb, rgB, ground, C-sync, audio cables.

You also need of course to connect the 5v line from the 7805 to pin 12.
