Game Gear LCD Screen and Video Out Mod

Sounds like this guy figured out how to get it done, and it looks AMAZING.

I would love to actually be able to play Game Gear games on a perfect little screen, even at a smaller size, and Master System games on the go in full screen. Game Gears are like $5 a pop, this sounds amazing, right?

I got in touch with the guy regarding pricing options for a kit or to have him do the work:

GGTV2 Board with video out of Ext. Port w/ custom cable - $150
GGTV2 Board with upgraded LCD - $150
GGTV2 Board with upgraded LCD and video out of Ext. Port w/ custom cable - $200


Parts only:
GGTV2 Board - $75
Upgraded LCD Screen - $30


These prices don’t include shipping.

Holy fucking shit. I don't think I'm ready to drop 2 bills on the Game Gear, but goddamn I want it.

If anyone around here decides to give this a shot or knows a guy who can get it done for a lower price, definitely let me know. The stock Game Gear screen was garbage the day it was made, let alone now 20 years later.

I would LOVE to have a screen-modded Game Gear. I've really wanted to get into collecting for it, but the battery life and horrible screen put me off. This sounds awesome, but it's waaaaay too expensive.

Have you considered the phone in your pocket?

God I want it so bad.

Is there anyone at Sega-16 who would take on this project and charge a bit less?

This is why nobody likes you.

And the PSP would be way better if I were going the emulation route.

I'm going to have to look into this. I'm not sure I like the idea of the screen mod since gg games won't be full screen, but I've got a junk GG here that I've been wanting to consolize and this board would make it pretty damn easy.

I just want you to look your at your purchases and ask yourself if any of them have really made your life better.

Then I want you to donate $5 to TNL Team Movember since you can afford so many foolish things.

Also, I love you. Don't be so angry.

I'm grinning ear to ear everyday of my life. Video games are the best.

I'm just jokes, everybody likes you. I'll throw some money at TNL Movember.

This is too expensive for me to justify, too, but I love the idea. The GG's library is pretty underrated.

Right, right? Can you imagine playing those games on a crisp, modern screen and on a TV?

Even though I already do that on my PSP and Wii SHUT UP BRAIN damnit

A phone and a Moga Pro beats the snot out of a PSP for emulation. Emulation on Android phones is legit as hell, as long as you take care of the controller issue.

This is a nice idea but I'm content with the GG emulator on the 3DS. Especially the way it uses 3D to replicate the GG's screen!

The 3DS is nice for GG games but it's still missing some good ones: both Alestes, Devilish, Shinobi II, Galaga '91, Fatal Fury Special, Super Return of the Jedi, Woody Pop, etc..

I wish it had a sms mode for those games that had home versions as well. The Sonics are a bit better with more screen real estate.

The same with Master of Darkness. I would have bought that on 3DS if it had an SMS mode.

There's a GG emulator on the 3DS?

There are GG games on the eShop, so yes.

I understand mzo.

Magical impractical ideas make life fun.
