A sexy little beast you have there and nice video too. That console loading took me back to my Jet Set (Grind) Radio and Tomb Raider days, when I played them on my dreamcast! Awesome work.

Great work Gman. What made you choose a 240p screen over a 480p for VGA?

I dont like the 480p 3.5" panel tbh. The lcd is off centered and iirc its only 18bit color depth

 

[TodorSauce]

Sick as hell man! Nice work!

 

[GingerOfOz]

Hold up

The REAL Gman wouldn't use hot glue in a portable. I don't know who this faker is, but aside from this he did a pretty good job of pulling off a successful, sexy Gman thing.

[Dave Mackintosh]

We usually prefer paying a bit more and getting them from digikey or mouser. Anyways those are 5pin 0.5mm pitch FFC connectors with bottom contacts.

Hi, these?

something like that can work yes. but none of those are 5 pin. You need "5pin 0.5mm pitch FFC connectors with bottom contacts."
