GCN Would a dsi xl screen be better than a ds screen for a portable GameCube?

[Coltonamore]

A PS1 screen was what I was going to suggest, as they seem very popular for portable mods, and it might be the cheapest.


People have used PSP screens.

I have to agree.

You cannot use a ds or ANY ds screens at all. Don't even ask about psp screens. Also, your "friend" must be pretty dumb to make a gamecube portable from watching people on youtube.

And another comment to make, People on youtube can be very helpful to alot of people. So my suggestion would be to not judge everyone on youtube as stupid. That just makes you a dip crap.

Actually, reading on the ACTUAL forums they get their information from would work instead.

Not just the screen either, but the casing, buttons etc.

If you actually read, it is not in fact a psp screen. Read first before you speak. That portable gamecube is actually old and not new at all. Read here:

It clearly says,

"Screens that you CAN'T use:

1. Game boy, game gear, DS, or PSP screens.
2. iPod or MP3 screens.
3. Most portable DVD players.
4. Cellphones.
5. Pretty much anything that doesn't take a normal signal.
Screens that can sorta be used:
1. Portable DVD players, certain types. You have to keep the main board.
2. GBA. You need an input cart and the whole friggin' gameboy.
3. Nomad screen. Accepts RGB, but expensive and crap.
4. Laptop LCD. If you have a certain type and about $200 to blow on an encoder, that is.

In order to use a PSP screen, you'd have to include some sort of logic device (MCU, FPGA etc.) in order to scale down the image that's coming from the Cube and adapt the screen's protocol, as it surely isn't Composite Video. Not an easy task, especially not for a beginner
