OK, so I have a LCD wired up and running. Now, I can not have csync or interlacing checked in powerstrip to get an image. But I do have to turn off tiling. but as soon as I do that I can not play games like counter strike. My main monitor goes out of sync.
Main video card is ATI Radeon 9800 pro 256 meg, secondary card that has the LCD connected is an ATI Radeon 7000. Any thoughts ?
Just thought id post pictures of my PSone LCD, as it isnt the offical one, it is the one made by Competition Pro, commonly available on eBay.
a warning to people wanting to do the VGA Mod to it, it uses two circuit boards, and a different design (obviously) to the offical one, so do what i have done, and hook it up by SVideo (which is what i intended to do before buying it)
ok, im stuck...
ive read most of this now massive thread, got a lil confused, and a large headache...
ive pimped up me screen, its connected by s-video-rca-3.5mm to me gfx card geforce 6600gt... problem comes when i try getting the screen to turn on... i havent touched anything on the pcb itself it is as new, and there is no power gettin to the screen, never once had any flicker either before or after taking it apart etc.... the monitor is detected in windows through me driver, so i reckon it should be showing somin.
i was wondering if ive missed somin, or i just have a dead lcd/backlight....
im using the power adaptor that came witht the screen not the cigy method, so i figure it should work fine!
i have a pal screen, and s-video connection, if anyone coudl give me a hand id be over the moon :)
cheers, steve
I have made the vga mod for the psone and it works as seconday screen (extending windows desktop)with my ATI Radeon 9250, using powerstrip.
I tried the dcc mod with the 24lc21 chip, but it does not worked (continue investigating).
I would like to use my psone screen with my carputer. The carputer would only have the psone screen connected. So my question is: Is it posible to use the psone screen as main monitor? or as seconday monitor (not extending windows desktop).
Hi,
My english isn't good either.
Vincente, do you have the original PSone LCD?
I've got the Competition Pro.
I wan't to use VGA, but I guess it isn't possible:(.
Anyway, i've got a few left .. but I only need 1.
2) I am going to use the included RCA input module, and use my S-Video to Analog converter that came with my 9800pro(Although I now use a x1800xt 512) to transfer the video from my videocard, or just use the RCA input for my Dreamcast. (I hope to make it hot-swapable)
3) I am not going to use external power for the LCD, I plan on using a Molex (4-Pin) power cable to power the LCD. The problem for now, is that a Molex cable runs at 12v. The included AC-DC adapter (For car use.) has a transformer in it that converts the 12v source to a controlled 7.5v @ 2amps.
4) I plan on mounting the LCD in two un-used 5 1/2" drive bays, using the plastic covers to mount the LCD, and store the circuitboards that the LCD uses in a plastic box in the bays. This shouldn't be the hard part.
What I need to know:
Can I simply take apart the car-adapter and imput the +,-, and ground wires straight to the transformer circuit? Will that work? I don't wanna blow another PSU. >.<

*Sorry if that is redundant in any way, but I copied it directly from my own forums, http://www.gigayetti.com .
Is that an alright way to get power? I really wanna know before I screw up my LCD.

Hi Jossie16,
I own then original Sony PSOne LCD. Bought on eBay.
3) I am not going to use external power for the LCD, I plan on using a Molex (4-Pin) power cable to power the LCD. The problem for now, is that a Molex cable runs at 12v. The included AC-DC adapter (For car use.) has a transformer in it that converts the 12v source to a controlled 7.5v @ 2amps.

Hi, A car adapter will transfor unregulated 12V DC to AC, and then transform it to a regulated 7.5V DC.
I think you can safely connect your PSU to the Car adapter.
I have one question...
I'm using POWERSTRIP with LCD PSONE , and i would like to know about the resolution..
It's 640x480 and the Color Quality is 256 Colors??
There's any way to get HiColor ( 16Bit ) in this LCD??
Well, I am about to give up with the "super easy" way of going the S-Video method. I want to do the VGA regardless, but the s-video should just work as I have read all over these forums and others.
I have twin 6800GTs, and neither (not in SLI mode) will put an image on my origional psone lcd. When i use the Force TV option it did indeed pick it up as a 7xx X 5xx monitor, M/NTSC. But all I see is a black display on the LCD. I used a S-Video to RCA adaptor, and then RCA to 3.5mm that came with the cards. I have tried multiple settings and have gotten nowhere with every combination of resolutions or likewise. I threw the composite at my TV and it was able to display just fine, although in black and white instead of color which was odd ( i had color once before with this method). Anyway, I am at a total loss for my problems. I will try to locate another S-video machine I can test with, but so far I have just gotten more and more irritated by this. Any ideas where I can try next?
One more thing, I am only running an LCD as my primary monitor with no true VGA on my system at present. I have read things relating to needing a vga device going in order to drive a psone lcd at first with s-video or vga, is that true?
Im sure it is something stupid that is wrong, but my head is starting to hurt
i was just wondering i found a used dc 7.5v connecter with the plug to the wall cut off, will it be able to convert the 12v from the comp to the 7.5 i need or will i definately need a car adapter to do the job
Or you could make one of these to power the unit for free (Middle Picture)

All you need is an old graphics card (prefferably non working) and cut off the VGA port. You can then connect the PSOne board to it..
When you're done, just use a regular monitor cable to connect it back to the second portt on your GeForce card (you will need the DVI adapter)
I had to resort to this since Windows wouldn't start up with the Matrox and my 7800GT
hey i got the eeprom thingy installed, i have a ntsc lcd and used two 47k ohm resistors for it... wasnt' sure if i needed the 10k one...
but ne ways the problem i have... the image on my screen is like stretched vertically 2x or 3x the normal height and looped around. it looks like this:http://iamawesomer.com/upload/CIMG2453.JPG
does anyone know how to resolve this issue? thanks!
Mine initially boots up like that, but as soon as Powerstrip loads, it sorts itself out..
I am using 2x 47K resistors. I guess it depends on what you write to the EDID.
I was unable to write anything to my EDID since I pulled the chip from an old monitor..
i am using powerstrip and i am able to write to the EEPROM (you should be able too, try shorting the pins like in the guide if it says write protected).
i don't know what to change the edid too, does anyone know what to write to it? and how can i modify the powerstrip settings to get it not stretched vertically? thanks!
if anyone wants to help me on AIM my sn is xDragonGCx. i really want to get this thing working... >.< THANKS EVERYONE
ok, well i got this working on my desktop (thanks brinx38!), but i cannot get this working the same way on my laptop...
on my desktop, i can set the custom resolution to 640x480i(Arcade) and set the refresh-rate in catalyst control panel to 30, but on my laptop i can't get to the custom resolutions, and i don't have catalyst control panel. any ideas? thanks!
Linux just seams to stick to the resolution it was installed at.
I have to manualy edit xorg.conf for monitors.
Never mind IBM actualy provided the answre to my query http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-playscreen/index.html
Of all places i would never of expected IBM to solve this.

It is very similair to this:
>>PSOne LCD Mod<<
My mod, however, varies in a few ways.
1) I am not using the standard, Sony PSOne LCD.
I am using this type: (Produced by Intec)
http://www.ncsx.com/2004/ncs060704/SOTD4/ptc_psone_ft.jpg
2) I am going to use the included RCA input module, and use my S-Video to Analog converter that came with my 9800pro(Although I now use a x1800xt 512) to transfer the video from my videocard, or just use the RCA input for my Dreamcast. (I hope to make it hot-swapable)

Hi Jossie16,
I own then original Sony PSOne LCD. Bought on eBay.
I am testing just using the 12v lines from the PSU, but I needed an old (K6) mobo to ground the line for the PSU to fire. >.<
http://masterrex.com/LCDMod.htm
Tell me what you think!
I allready sold 6 or 7 of these and I want to have one for myself to mod.
I think you can safely connect your PSU to the Car adapter.

if theres an alternative to the sony one can u please post it
