    Default make my Dreamcast portable?

    I've seen a few posts around where people hookup portable lcd's to Dreamcasts but no real images. Specifically the PSOne screen seems to be popular but I've also heard about a GameCube screen too.. Does anyone here have one of these setups? I know about the Treamcast but I'm not spending the money on that. I was wondering how to attach the screen since I'm assuming the holes don't line-up and also how the wiring looks. I may just hook it up to a portable dvd player but I'd prefer something a little neater.

    Any info would be appreciated.

    I did and I got a headache!

    I'm not capable of doing the crazy plastic molding modding stuff . I basically want to take a screen an make it work with the DC. Anything more than using a Dremel to make a couple of holes would probably be more than I can handle.

    That's cool thanks but I'm more thinking of something like a the PSOne Combo but with a Dreamcast.

    Well you have the option of spending money on a ready made Treamcast that looks neat and we know works.

    Or you could actually go out and try it yourself. There's a huge amount of information available on the PSone screen, its inputs and the DC's video out.

    I've seen many posts but no pictures. Most of the pictures are no longer available with an expired photobucket box in their place. I'm not being lazy here, I just wanted to know if anyone here has done it what it looks like. I've been checking google and sites like Ben Heck's. I just don't want to go out and put something together that looks like ass.
