Game Gear RGB

[turbokon]

I did that, the transformer I think on the gamegear is in the way. I might need to trim the lcd's pcb and re-arrange some components.

[thesteve]

the transformer should be removed

[turbokon]

So that transformers and the blue ceramic cap near by can be removed?

[thesteve]

yes, they drive the backlight
lookup backlight mods and most will show them removed

Here is a picture of a gamegear game Vampire Mastet of Darkness

Looks great, how hard of a mod was this (on a scale of 1-10)?

[turbokon]

Install the rgb board isn't to hard if you know where the soldering points are. Using Tim warington I would say 3.  Here are a couple pics if the LCD mod.

Here is another pic:)

Is there a way to do the lcd monitor swap and still have the GG games scale to the size of the new display? (sorry total tech noob here)

[thesteve]

yes, with a custom LCD controller
most LCD panels do "data good" scaling (supported by the GG LCD controller
would just require a custom programmed microcontroller

Steve I am going to PM you about this stuff!

[turbokon]

I would like to know how to do this too!

turbokon not trying to threadjack but if anyone here can or wants to do a Game Gear monitor swap, programmed controller for scaling, cap swap, and RGB mod (or can push me to a person who can do one) please shoot me a PM!

Thanks!

it will require a simple controller to interface it
the RGB DEN mode will auto scale

what games will scale and what games won't? Think it is pointless if the games end up looker smaller.

SMS games almost takes up the whole 4:3 aspect ratio area but game gear games doesn't.
