Gamegear, no TV tunner

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.

Nope, sorry. The gg screen is digital and proprietary. Unless you have a tuner, the only system that can use a screen directly from the system is the nomad, and that is only with some systems. Even then, the game gear has a passive matrix screen, so anything moving wouild be too blurry.

Yeah if you wanted too use the Gamegear you'd have to get the TV tuner and also you'd have to use the whole system. Like SpongeBuell said you can use a Nomad screen but I wouldn't 'cause those are getting kind of rare now and I also think it's a great portable system.

Anyways, unless you don't have a TV tuner I don't think it'd work.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
