Can't wait to see how one of these new screens is thanks to jmustang:).I will post about my experiences with it after it arrives.

Just knocked mine out today. Thanks so much for the how-to on this little mod. I'm loving it so far!

Got my modded nomad today from mustang and am very pleased.The new screen is way better then the original.

I came up with a novel way around this problem in case anybody's interested.

Rather than buy a powerback and solder on a camera battery only to have the same problem I have with the NiMH AA cells, I bought this rechargeable battery pack.

It has an adapter for the PSP which fits nicely into the nomad/genesis, although I believe the PSP has a different input voltage. This battery pack has a nice adjustable voltage though so I can use the PSP end at 9V. I've been running it for several hours now and the battery has barely drained. It has 4 LEDs for power level and it's only down to 3 after probably 3 hours of Sonic 2.

I ended up using velcro to adhere it to the back as if it were a battery pack with a cable hanging off of it. It's kind of tall so I have to rest a couple of my fingers on it when I play but it's not too thick so it's not uncomfortable. The cable's a little awkward so I might decide I like it better sitting next to me anyway. Who knows.

Here's what it looks like.

Bummer that it's so damned big :/

Yeah, the battery life is fantastic though. It's not too bad attached but I think I prefer storing it attached and playing it with the battery sitting next to me.

The battery pack mod works great for me.
