Screen TV

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.

Screen TV

Post by Mr. Cool »

I have a Psone screen that I may not be using and I have 2 questions about it.
First. Is there anyway at all, i can make it into a tv? If so what do I use?
Second. Does anyone know if I can plug it into my ps2, and then use the Psone plug to power it (i know I cant plug the power into the ps2)?

You will need something that can convert the RF signals into composite and RCA signals, like a VCR. (run it off batteries :lol:) I did this and watched TV on an intec screenpad screen.

Of course you will need a cable/sattelite/crazy person's fillings system! :) I meant you will have to run the RF decoder to get the proper signal.

5" color TVp. It's about time! :D

What's hard? Attach some composite/RCA male plugs, and stick them in a decoder.
