For the love of God don't ruin that screen!

Oh, yeah, and have a happy bitrthday (unless it already passed from the Aus-US time diffence)

Mine was actually the 25th of June, but I was gone and didn't care to say anything about it. Bought myself a GamePark as a present to myself though

Congratulations, happy birthday, and you'd better make good use of that screen!

Congrats!! Wow, a 7 in. lcd seems almost too big for a portable, but then again who cares!

NiN^_^NiN · Post by **NiN^_^NiN** » Thu Jul 08, 2004 6:44 pm

Well it's better to build a portable with what your got than what u dont got

besides i dont think i'll ever find a 5" LCD screen for under $150 here in aus

You could have gotten an NTSC monitor and system on ebay, that would have been cheaper. Heck, I saw a tiny (1.8") pocket TV for $30 once (about $40AUD)

Also, for those too lazy to do a conversion, $165AUD is about $120 USD.

First off im in australia and buying a NTSC monitor and system just wont work. I need to play PAL games and buying adapters or making an adapter is a real mess for most systems.

Not all sms games are compatiable same with atari.

snes you need an adapter or disable the lockout chip but its still a hassle.

and come on 1.8" LCD???? thats not big enough and by the time i pay for shipping and customs if it doesnt get through its not worth it plus i can't buy from USA

i just can't use usa stuff here.

yeah bt too badyou dont live here in canada you have the coeance of shoping in the state via the internet and you can sell them things and make a load of money with the exchange rates

wow i wrote this post yester day, that day i went a few days with no sleep i'll be leaving this last part un changed jsut to show what seelp loss can do to a person

Yeah, I forgot about the games... they have bigger screens around here, I was just showing how cheap they get. As for customs, all you gotta do is label it as a "gift," after all, it is (or was) your birthday

Still if i did use NTSC stsyem and all i cn't play it on the TV without a bulky ntsc to pal converter

Oh well
