Intec G7300 5.4" LCD PS2 Fat - $20.00

Not too many PS2 Fat LCDs, most were sold for the more easily transportable PS2 slim.

Picked up locally after spotting it on Craigs List. The seller was selling this with a broken PS2 Fat with no cables for $25.00. I didn't need a 3rd PS2, let alone a dead one. The seller found the power cord for the LCD so we tested it with a PS2 I brought. The screen was not that great outdoors, but I can still see the HDAdvance loadup screen. I convinced the seller to throw in the 1 amp 12 volt power cord and bought the LCD for twenty bucks. 8)

This screen is too small for gaming or link play. Not that great as a transportable system either and the Fat requires an AC adaptor for the car. Besides I have a nice 10.4" TFT screen for the car shows so why buy this? :?

For monitoring PS2 HDAdvance/HDLoader
I usually direct install a single game the slow easy way using HDAdvance. Actually saves time vs removing the drive or dragging over to the computer for crossover ethernet cable ISO files. Now with the portable LCD, I can game or watch TV without having to go split screen to monitor the install progress bar. :mrgreen:

I think I have the same exact one. I got it for $1 and have never used it, but the plastic protector is still affixed to the screen, so it's minty. No AC for it though.

Very nice! A great find! Curious if the eject works better on a brand new GB Player.

Great price, they are hard to find now, especially for the fats. Is yours the G7300 Fat or the G7600 Slim or another number? I'm trying to find out the other fat part number, the model number is on the Intec Hologram sticker. The LCD works with any 12 volt source such as the car battery or 12 volt AC adaptor. My AC adaptor has a rating of 1 Amp. Its a small screen but perfect for monitoring the game installs, freeing up the TV.

I just updated the link review, the Guncon AV adaptor works for duel screen viewing! Weird that I got the old PS1 AV Adaptor to support 480p. Are there any PS1s that supported RGB or Component?

To be honest, I don't know that I'll open it. It opens up a humongous new game library for the GC and it gives me a reason to purchase GBA games that I've missed out on though...it's a tough call.

Oh, go ahead and open it. Unless you plan to sell it for profit, it does no one any good just sitting around sealed.

I found a Gameboy camera, printer, and a link cable for $7 total today. Not too great, but I saved a little bit.

I get the feeling that people at my local Play N Trade don't really care about older games. They handed me a box of GB/GBC games and I walked out of the store with Pokemon Yellow for $5.

Even that by itself wouldn't have been too bad. Nice haul.
