will the screen work for me?

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.

Region 2, thats japan, isnt it? And i dont think they use PAL. I have the Panasonic Gamecube and its Region 2, and it works just fine on my TV.

If you HAVE to go with an NTSC Screen with RGB as well, get the verge gamecube screen if you can... And are you SURE you cant do the RGB mod? Try it out anyways and see if it works.

take an AC Voltmeter and see if you get .7vAC on each RGB line. Its .7V for RGB, right? lol

Get a universal game adaptor. It is a bit bigger, but you could probably pull some small guts out of it.
