These monitors come with rca jacks as well as S-Video!  Plus speakers that sound great.

No need to hack this.....its all there!!!!

Well, if it has S-Video, then it's pretty much plug and play right out of the box.

Whaddya gonna do though?  Lug around a tower with it?  Might as well get a Laptop or Pocket PC and be done with it.

Create a portable or micro size mame machine not necessarily because it's "cost effective" but just because you "can".

remember that post with the guy who bought an old bank computer and it was in that really tiny box. something liek that, with that thing on top, and a desktop CP setup, would be a nice portable deal. or you could just buy a 15inch LCD flatscreen on ebay for like 100$ =p

pretty much its pointless, but cool

That would rule (in geekland at least).

Bought one of these over a year ago for my 8 year old to play her playstation2 with in her playroom.  I have never had a problem with it and it works great. We also put a little Disney DVD in it to entertain her little brother for a few minutes

How is the picture quality in mame?

I have a little TV (composite) that I use for the kids to watch movies on long trips.

I tried the TVout -> SVid -> Composite and it looked really bad... Obvious that the resolution was way less then the game itself.  I didn't spend any time to optimize the output.

Thanks

I have an Interact Mobile Monitor (same thing, different company). I use it on my PS2 when I wanna sit on the porch or go camping. Works great. Never thought to use MAME on it.

I wonder how hard it would be to hack one of those monitors and a very very small motherboard (thinking hacked iPaq or something...

and make a MAME Gameboy....a portable, in your hand mame set...

use a 1gb compact flash card to hold the roms...have a d-pad (maybe even from an old broken gameboy) on one side and 2-4 buttons on the other...simular to how the old sega gamegear was....

Would be pretty slick.

Or you could save yourself the bother and buy an N-Gage or a GP32. I've got eMame installed on my N-Gage; it does make my commute more liveable.

Does anyone know of a source for really small computers similar to the one danny_galaga posted? I've got a 7inch LCD screen that I've been saving for just such a project. Only problem is I haven't been able to locate a suitably tiny computer for it.

I'd be interested in learning more about those boards as well if anyone has any info to share. How about power supplies? Is there a tiny PS available?

there is a whole community that love to squeeze these things into stuff at www.mini-itx.com

the nano-itx boards can be seen here.  the states prolly wont see these till spring.

There are speciallized power supplies and most of the lower end boards run without a fan and run cool.
