Not sure where to post this, VGA to Composite...

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.

hmmmm I tried hooking up my laptop to the tv using what gannon said and there was no picture, just some static noise and a static on the tv too. I'm going to try again, but my (mom's) laptop is screwing up and not turning on for more than a second. it does that sometimes :(........
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

yeah but gannon said that it works if you just hook up the hsync and vsync lines.......my damn laptop still won't turn on, it'll turn on and then there'll be a squeaking noise :? and then it shuts off......

............................oops. well, now I have to find a monitor I can use so that I can do that. If I find a monitor though I won't have to use composite, because I'll just use the monitor!!!!.....I'll still probably try to get composite video so that I can just use my TV and not waste space in my basement (which I desperately need.....). I just hope my laptop will even turn on.........
