whelp, that'll save some batteries. Still one question: who on earth decided purple & cyan were positive & negative respectfully?

Whoever designed it.

I'm trying to put this project in a Gameboy case, like All4SKy, and I'm slightly confused about the sound part of the screen. To get sound out of the screen, would you have to connect left and right audio together, and connect this to the sound pin of the Megajoy (pin 3)? Or would you use the Gameboy's speaker? If so, how would you get this to work? Sorry about the questions, this is the only thing I'm confused about.

Yes, connect the NOAC sound output to both the left and right audio inputs on the Hip Gear.
You could try connecting it to the gameboy speaker, but it would be very quiet since it's not amplified.

Good oh! I suppose I could get rid of the Game Boy speaker, and just put the Hip Gear Speakers in its place

Hey Folks,
I've been working on a solid pinout for the PCB for a few days now and fiinally compiled a finished pic:

I'm very sure of everything except the adjustable ground input...that actually is tied to VCC1 according to my datasheet but it makes more sense to be adjustable ground as shown here: http://www.bquach.com/images/gamegrrl/pinout.jpg

As you will notice there are RGB inputs on the board! I am going to do some testing on this later because my screen broke sadly. This board is also capable of S-video which I will also be looking into as soon as I get a new screen.
