If the screen looks like that with the VGA input, can we get a close up picture of what it looks like with the regular composite input with the same screen shot. Just to compare

Found out today I have to go to Cali the 30th of this month, so I ended up working out plans to fly out there, working on a few webpages for MaxxTraxx, typing up bits and pieces of a couple of articles, and fell asleep at the keyboard.
Right shoulder is killing me.
Ugh.
Off to bed.
Congrats on the VGA mod. My first time around it worked for shit. Seems everyone on the forum I linked to says "it works, it works", but damned if I could finagle it to work. Maybe it's my GF2 that's not allowing it?
I see the arcade display and interlaced is ticked.....no clue.
Maybe tomorrow.

umm I had mine running composite in 5 min after I got it, if you actually RTFT you'd know that I am running RGB into the lcd from my Matrox card.....not some shitty composite TV-out signal.

I have a question about scavaging LCDs. I have a Gameboy Advance that is geing pretty old (I bought it four months before it came state side, it's the japanese version) and I was wondering if I could use the LCD. I read the FAQ and it doesn't really give many details so I though to ask, I figure that it isn't very different then the PS1 LCD but when it comes to LCDs I'm a n00b. What are you guys thoughs about it?

Q: I'd like to hack the LCD from a GameBoy into my case somehow, can I do it?
A: According to Jeff Frohwein's GameBoy FAQ it is possible but complicated. The LCD interface to GameBoy is very similar to other large screen LCDs in that a CRT controller is really required. The reason for this is that all 23,040 pixels (160x144) have to be written or "refreshed" 60 times a second the same way that a TV has to constantly redraw or else there won't be any picture. This is required even if what your trying to display is static and never changes. This is all the info I have at the moment.
(note that this FAQ does not appear to be actively maintained.)

Q: What about the Gameboy Advance?
A: It looks like it is possible to directly interface the entire Gameboy Advance to the PC via a serial port. A cable is/will be available that allows you to develop gameboy code on your PC and the gameboy advance will load it when powered on. This could be an interesting option, but requires someone to develop some nice code. It is not yet clear quite how flexible this option will be, but as the gameboy advance has some nice screen modes & processing power, the results could be very interesting, and its a fairly cheap option.

Besides.. to me your results with rgb dont look any better than the composite
Really all you guys are going to need for this mod is this LCD screen and a 270r resister
And an old VGA cable
I took the RGB from pins 1,2,3 on the VGA card and connected them to RGB pins 9,11,12 on the LCD
Then I took the H sync and V sync pins 13,14 on VGA and joined them together and then connected them to pic 6 on the LCD
Obviously I connected ground to pin one
And last but not lest I connected a resister to the red input then I connected the V and H sync to the resister.
Set the card to run at 15hz and that was it
