genesis screen?

[Dako]

Are there ANY cheap screens that work good on a Genesis?

Please stop making tons of threads... I believe I've responded in each one now.

Define cheap. If you mean $30 shipped from China, then yes that is cheap. If you want cheaper than that, there are hip gear lcds that I've seen on ebay for $20 shipped, but they are only 2.5 inches and are only so-so quality.

You mean a screenpad? I've seen one, and it's not even 2.5". Maybe 2" or 2.25".

 

[zeturi]

Nah, I just double checked and it is a 2.5 inch. It's still a bit too small to be used, IMO. Go with at least a 3 inch, but only if your portable is small. Otherwise, a 3.5 inch or psone screen is probably your best bet.

 

[XCVG]

Wow, that's 2.5"? I'm never going smaller than 3.5" then.

 

[zeturi]

Yep. The hip gear is almost exactly the same size as the gameboy pocket's screen. 3.5 screens are nice, a 3 inch would probably be to okay for NES, SNES, or genesis.

Im using a 5" for my SNESp, probably too big, but I dont want to build an amp, or wait 3 weeks for shipping fro AZN land. Probably should have gone with a 3.5, but I like big screen. Didnt account that it might not fit into my case, but Nobble is gonna fix that

5 inch screen portables are nice, though. You have a pretty good viewing size. 3.5 inch screens are really only useful if you're using a small case, or can't find a psone screen.

Or in a pissin contest to see who can make the smallest portable which then doesn't count because it's not using a 5" Psone screen which is the norm and standard.

But at least you'll always win that yours has the best screen.

The screen on my DS is only 3" and it seems plenty big to me. Frankly I don't see the obscession with big screens that fill up pretty much the entire front area of the case. It's like empty surface area is a sin or something.

 

[zeturi]

I find it to be. It's just so... empty. I could always to artwork on the empty space, but meh.

Plus, these games weren't meant for 2.5 or 3 inch screens (Dark Cloud was not fun on a 2.5 inch screen). I've always wondered how using the hookshot or the bow in Zelda would be on an n64p.

Smaller is often better I've found, but I'm used to using a PC. The thing is, it's the same source resolution, in a smaller area. The screen resolution is only half, in a much smaller space.

But like I said, I'm used to near-HD on a 20" screen.
