Dreamcast Portable Screen

Post by HeavyMetalMe »

Aside from the Treamcast, was a portable screen ever made for the Dreamcast? I'm looking to keep a system in my car, and the only screen I can readily get my hands on for a really cheap prices is a Gamecube screen. Any help?

If you go to the benheck.com forums it is apparently very easy to modify a Ps1 screne to worc on the dreamcast.

You don't even need to modify the PSOne screen to use it. You can run A/V into the screen (on the back there is an input shaped like a headphone jack, and to connect that cord to the one from another system you just need 3 female-to-female connectors). Works great and with any system. As far as powering them I paid like $60 for a power inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. You can get them cheaper, but I bought the one I did to ensure enough voltage capacity for the two systems.
