The least he could do is 'get around' to sharing the details of this hack with the community. A lot of people are looking to add this feature to their cab. My fingers are crossed... |

As I'm working on my cab, I'm seriously considering adding this. When I do you can be sure I'll share the details as I don't see his having done anything that hard here. |

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just use an LCD that takes composite video? A GBA costs $70-80, while you can get a 5" video display for ~$50. It would be cheaper, have a bigger screen, a backlight (unlike GBA original), and be infinitely easier to drive. Something like those portable playstation LCDs would work nicely. |

I imagine most people considering this already have a GBA so the cost is negligible. Also - how would you connect a second screen up? You would either need a 2nd graphics card or a dualport - and in my experience that has a detrimental effect on performance, and restricts resolutions. I could be wrong though..... GBA's (USB probably) and LCD's (serial port) have the advantage of not messing with te gfx output of the pc.... |
