    The case would look better if the cd-drive were matched and silver.

    But neat job with the screen!

    No, sorry. This question has been asked many times before. Laptop LCDs work with a completely proprietary interface, not involving VGA or S-Video. To get them to work with your graphic card would involve a difficult to obtain decoder circuit that costs several hundreds of pounds/dollars.

    Cables need for the easy psone mod

    With these you can mod your sony psone LCD without soldering.

    You don't have to have the exact same cables. But you get the idea.

    That's all.

    I have a Sapphire Atlantis 9800 pro and I tried the VGA way and got a pretty good picture but every time I turned off the computer then back on the LCD pic would be off center, so I would have to open powerstrip and readjust (don't know if I was even doing that right) I just clicked and arrow up button and the pic would scroll then I would time it right and click the arrow down button and stop it perfect.

    So now what I decided to do was just install the S-video, I have video at the RCA, but I am not sure about the mini adapter I plug it into the LCD and nothing happens. I went to radio shack and told them what I needed and this is what they said would work Plug Adapter So my question is, Is this the right plug should it work? I am hoping that this is my problem. if this is the wrong plug what should I get. I told them I needed a mini AV plug.

    Thanks for the help! :wallbash:

    Samurize Config for 768 x 576 Screens

    Hi All,
    I thought I'd post my Samurize config up now that it is finally finished...
    [​IMG]
    It's based on the existing PSOne config, which was a pretty cool starting point.
    It shows...
    E-Mail
    System Temps
    CPU & Memory usage
    GPU & Memory Clock Speed for ATITool
    Weather
    Date, Time & UpTime
    Azureus downloads
    Internet usage
    Frames per second
    What game you are running

    You will need the following to get the best of it:
    ATITool
    MoBo Manager
    FRAPS
    Azureus (with statistics logging activated)

    Oh and it uses a few plug-ins downloaded from the Samurize site
    that should be included in the file...
    http://freespace.virgin.net/dan.taylor1000/LCD.sam

    As this is the first time I've exported a Samurize script there's
    bound to be a few things wrong with it so let me know what
    you reckon and I'll try and fix it.

    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Nice one. Good use of the available space to cram in a maximum of info, without looking too crowded.

    Help please I am almost finished!

    HELP I am using this plug from radio shack http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102693&cp I have video up to the rca jack, but I do not know about this adpater when plugged onto the rca jack, I get no video to the LCD. Is this the right adapter, should it work? If not please tell me what adapter to get, I told them that I needed a mini av 3.5mm plug and this is what they said to get.

    Also I tried the vga method and had pretty good results except a couple of things the color was only 8bits, also everytime I turned off the lcd, then turned it back on the screen would be off set, So I would have to open power strip and readjust, even after click lock (everything thatI could lock) in power strip.

    Thanks for any help!

    Try somethng else.

    [​IMG]

    I can't vouch for that exact adapter. Right now I am using a 3.5mm to RCA male and a mini S-video to RCA femalel. I'm using a BFG 6800 Ultra video. I couldn't find a 3.5mm-RCA male anywhere in my neighborhood, so I am using one that came with digital camera.
    I hope this will help.

    Has anyone managed...

    Anyone managed to get the vga mod working with a 9200 or a 9250?

    Anyone who's done the vga mod without csync composer, can you please post the video cards that you can confirm work correctly?

    when you do the import for the samurize it is looking for a .sam file

    My question is the layout that ou have and all the file are a .zip and if I extract them then they are all non.sam files.

    How do you install this?

    Your such a mullet ! (sorry couldnt resist)
    A .zip file is an archive that contains files. you need to extract the contents of the zip file.
    Xp does this but there are many toolos out there that are better.
    BEFORE posting where use WWW.GOOGLE.COM

    LOL! That's one sweetmullet you got there!

    What I am saying is that I can and did extract them and they are files (all non.sam files). But the import thing for samurize is looking for a .sam file.

    So how do I import this stuff to make it look like the above if the files are not .sam files?

    SEE! And google is how I found this place :eyebrow:
