In my pursuit of the crispiest video possible, I did some experiments with the PixelFX Retro GEM Shiny Edition. The GEM is a 'universal' HDMI mod that works with N64, PS1, PS2, and Dreamcast, with support for more consoles on the way.
What's so interesting about the GEM is that the Shiny...
Hello, this is my first thread; so if I seem a bit out of place...I'm still learning haha!
This is a little project I call Wii Motion++
It's a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie and a 1.3 inch LCD shoved into a Wii Remote. Fully functional buttons (D-pad, 1, 2, A, B, and yes, even the power button...
The backlight on the screen comes out well, but screen gets dark whenever there's a signal. What's the problem?
There was a time when the + and- of the lcd driver board were connected in reverse, but was it damaged then?

I can't seem to find a good screen on the internet, the best I found was this but it doesn't have a VGA input, and I am not sure how good Wii games will look on that low resolution. Then there is this which also has those problems. I am going for something like 3.5 inches. Any recommendations?
Hi, I'm looking for a 4:3 screen to use in my build but that is proving really tough all the screens I find are 16:9. Ideally I'd like to stick to 4:3 and if possible ips which I'm sure is just a pipe dream. I saw a video not too long ago and the guy had just that, I messaged him but got no...
I want to build a wii portable and want to use 3ds analog sticks. Do I just use the caps? Or do I somehow replace the analog stick on the gamecube with it. If yes, how do I do it?
Hello guys,
I am currently planning on building my first Wii portable with a MB trim.
After hours of research in the forums I began to make a list of parts to buy. I don't want to waste money by buying parts that won't work toghether, therefore I wanted to ask a couple questions before buying...
I have a proof-of-concept running using a 5-inch ZJ050NA-08C based on suggestions here. Display looks great! It would be nice to have a slightly larger display. Is there a 7-inch (or close) display that looks as good as the ZJ050NA-08C on the N64?
I see these two options in the BOM, opinions...
Hello everyone, given that this is my first PS2 portable project, I wanted to know some tips on how to do this at both the video level and the sound level. First of all, at the time I wanted to increase, and to decrease the volume using keys without a potentiometer, only keys I wanted to know...
Hey BB,
As (hopefully) you all know, I love Gameboy modding with an undying passion. It was my first ever console. My first venture was a dual clock mod for the Gameboy pocket years back.
This post has board scans of both the front lcd, and back cartridge PCBs. Along with info and diagrams...
after many years of wandering the abyss and conversing with oriental merchants in their dialect of english, I have found only one option for using YPbPr with a 3.5" screen: the MST703 LCD driver ic supports YCbCr and YPbPr according to this datasheet. It also appears to have automatic video...
Ok, so I decided to follow this tutorial by DIY Perks:
And try to make a DIY Laptop monitor from an old Laptop screen. I started by salvaging a 12 year old laptop that still worked but was so slow it couldn't be used. It was an HP Compaq computer (can't remember what it was called).
Then I...
