whyyyyyyyy?

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.

Might wanna try this site if your useing a PSOne screen.

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1 ... 353,00.asp

Not sure if this is Ben's book or not, I never got it and I'm basicly doing my PSOnep off the top of my head (I've never soldered before or used a Dremel tool... fun) Anyways this is what i'm gonna use when I mod my screen in the next few days.

The "By Benjamin Heckendorn" under the title leads me to believe that it is Ben's book :lol: . Any objections?

i'd practice soldering first because i had no idea how to solder and it took me like an hour to do my first led mod now i can get through pretty quickly but they keep burning out


i still trhink it was the resistor so i picked up the one recommended on POD

i should get my new leds tommorrow or soon
