1.5" screen on your controller?
Lilwolf:
This seems like it might be cool for some project.

uses usb for both power and transfers, so you could keep it plugged in (I think).
But at 1.5" what could it be used for? maybe show the snapshot of the game running? Maybe a custom icon of the controls that are used?
I always thought a frontend which captured some keys from mame, but never had a gui, would be cool. IE, you turn it on, and it launches the last game... hit a few keys (for frontend only) to select a new game in the second screen.... Hit a launch key and it kills the current game (or sends an exit key) and then launches the new game.
seems like it would be cool. Especially if you have autosavestate turned on.

Saw something similar at walgreens for the same price. I looked at it and thought "It would be nice if someone could hack these for a better use than just showing low res photos."
fjl:
If its meant only for low res photos then I doubt it has the processing power to show any animation, if that's what you're thinking of using it for.
But it would be cool if it was completely software controlled so you can put it on your CP and it gives you information on the game your playing or show what controls to use or simply show the title of the game. Something usefull. 8)
Lilwolf:
you can have it automatically rotate through the pictures... you could replace all the pictures per game? for the animation?
I'm not sure, code aside, what you could do at 128x128 that would be useful though...
bishmasterb:
I got it! Place one of these next to each button on your control panel, and based on which game is selected, have a batch file copy an image down to the device which displays the function of that particular button.
