Anoter A1200 project under way (New screen Zetr0 :D )
I was following the guidance of the Lord that is Zetr0 and said I had a new screen coming well here it is :
This thing supports composite in and RGB maybe Svid I do not know, I presume since the PS2 can throw out Svid it may do, but I am happy for now, this will go in my portable Amiga. Zetr0 will be most pleased to here it wants 12V @ 1000Ma (1Amp? ) Now onto ripping TeH guts outta it |

Tried the screen with my A600s comp. out and it had some ghosting, little blured I think, but overall for the £17 shipped it cost me I think I did well, I know it takes RGB though maybe that will give me a cleaner pic?
That would mean modding the PS2 lead thats hanging off it to the Amigas video out port.... hmmm more work, but I think this may be over all easier than modding that Panasonic VGA unit, as I won't need to mess with screen modes or have extra gadgets converting and what not. The build quaility of the case is pretty generic and poor I guess they use the same screen with many consoles and gadgets, originally a PS2 just kinda sits on a tray on it and you hook up the lead, it seems as though it was made without the PS2 mind. I do have to say though the sound quaility is rather shockingly good better than my tiny Thinkpad speakers. |

It will ghost anyway, I have one of those exact screens and the ghosting and softy focus effect will be aparent through either input.
I also have the gamecube version, with which I had planned to use as a screen for my A600, exactly the same issue, I doubt Joytech use the highest qualty screens somehow. |

I got plenty of Dreamcasts if someone wants to adapt one, surely the actual GD-Rom drive (the drive mechanics of it all) would be the biggest obstivcle?
I am sure that Ben Heck did one though somehow... |

I have a similarly sized screen (standalone) from Joytech and the vertical res is so small that it's not well suited for anything but games..
