perferred screen

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.

Choose what screen you are most likely to use in your handheld consoles, either Pocket TV, PSone Screen or Gamecube Screen.

I went with the PSOne screen. The reason is that 7.2v is better then 12v required by the GC screen.

From my experience, the psone screen is much more reliable than the gamecube screen.

what about the GBA SP?!?!?!?!?!?......jk I only used it once and it was only ok.......my favorite would be the psone screen because it is thin, has a nice size screen, and doesn't require much power. I'd definitely chose it over the GC screens, I haven't had many good experiences with those.............
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

By the looks of the results, it's no wonder why PSOne screens are becoming harder to come by.

Isn't it possible to just buy an LCD and it's controller from an electronics supplier instead of tearing apart things for them? If so, does anyone know where I could get such things? Shouldn't it be cheaper?

I voted PSone screen by mistake. A portable tv is the most portable screen

you could buy a lcd and controller from a lcd distributer, but it's actually more expensive than the psone lcd :(
