It wasnt a one time thing. He took orders & shared with the community. Very cool.

Fun fact, The Lynx also has connectivity with the Jaguar although it wasn't utlized.

I'd love to see this also happen for the Game Gear...

Viletim made a TV out board for the game gear ages ago. Or did you specifically mean a VGA port for it?

Was it clean looking, available for order to the public (well community members :]), & a combo screen replacement as well?

The few "consolized" GGs I've seen have been fairly rudimentary looking... okay, looked fairly janky. I did see a YT vid (Luke Morse?) of a nice GG mod but it was of high difficulty level.

This lynx kit is awesome! VGA is nice as well.

Yes (well, I think so), yes, and no but there's LCD mods available for the GG as well.

See for yourself

I wasn't trying to knock the Lynx mod by the way, I've been following its development (albeit loosely since I'm not a huge Lynx fan), but you said you'd love to see the GG one so I provided.

As to a non-janky-looking GG, surely you must have seen this? (run it through Google Translate or just click on the links at the bottom to go to the next pages) Too bad I haven't found anyone to recreate it at any price.

I didn't mean to come off as snarky. I really was curious!

Very cool, didn't know that board existed. RGB, impressive.

I do like how this Lynx mod is for the screen and video out, all in one.

Yeah, the consolized GG is awesome! Would be very cool to be able to use a controller. Wish the Lynx mod allowed for a Jaguar controller to be used! :D Yes, I one of those who actually likes the Jag controller :lol:
