yes, in the last post about the system some german folk were linked. their site isn't up anymore, but I'll sum it up: gloptop and romchip.

it was an 8-bit famiclone game for it that they took apart, but I suspect they're all the same. the exception is that some of the 16-bit titles require an adapter plugged in between the system and gamecart to run. the adapter probably has the system chip inside it, and the game carts plug into it.

Sorry to dig this from the grave, but I was wondering if anybody has managed to grab pinouts for this guy y/t. Mine should be here shortly... just don't want to reinvent the wheel, here.
With hip pads becoming a thing of the past, and LCD TV portables becoming a bit of a rarity, I think the new cheap source of quality LCD is pretty choice!

...answer me or suffer the onslaught of 'can I use a gameboy screen? how about a digital camera? Can I use a TI 83 screen in my portable?"

Been reading the forum for months now, read the book, love the stuff I see here. Time to build mine though, and darnit! EBAY is out of half this stuff!

Anyways... I'm a rant/ramble poster. The question still is.. Any pinouts for the OneStation LCD as of yt?

no pinouts of the cart slot that I've seen. and I've looked, quite hard. I was very interested in figuring them out for a while, but I haven't even persuaded myself to buy one yet.

Well, I gave in and bought one... The screen is beautiful... and that angers me. I'm thinking it would have been easier to trace back to the lcd if I had a game cart to snag the pinouts from this darn LCD... The LCD is a solid plactic form, 3 volt for the LEDs and the rest is a mini mystery.
I love this thing already though! The PCB has the LCD part number on it. TD025THEA3.
Now all I have to do is learn a few Asian languages and Russian. If anybody has bought one of these and can pass me a game cart to aid my trace with the scope, that would just be spiffy.
Cheers

That part number seems to be a standard TFT LCD, you'd have to find a controller for this to work with a console.

Its a TFT LCD module,, the controller is actually built into the plastic frame. it takes 8 bit serial RGB and a timer input... but where and to what pins, I have no idea. I finished the full results in the screen hacks forums... but in short... It can not be used.

that's quite a shame. it seemed so useful.
the graphics in 16-bit mode are so good that I may still get one, though. (not the sega games, but the original 16-bit titles)

Beating the dead horse, I found another german site that includes internal pics of the onestation:

Take that, you stupid horse!

Only internal pics of the carts that I see.

My bad, I linked to the main page for the onestation section. This is the page you're looking for:

Looks like all the tech is in the cart...kinda odd.

Lol, I wish I had found that before I dropped $$ on mine for prototyping, I trye a onestation and a VG Game system... both use RGB, the driver is on the panel itself (so, no REAL controller board) It can take RGB but would need a clock signal to drive it... So it's not useless, you MIGHT be able to tap off the RGB on board for some of the newer gen portables, but for NOACs etc... no good.

As for the LCD?
