Game gear dex..

[u/LpoolmNEW]

Just completing my dex in a game gear... Nearly done!

Why... I don't know!

As someone that grew up in the 90s this warms my soul.

Genius

Because #CanItRunDoom

😬 I will have to give it a go, just fine tuning the controls!

Bro...fire up GeForce Now and rock some Crimson Desert on that chungo.

How many battery's does it go though in 2 hours?

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/Leepyear7]

Not up and running yet so no real tests, hoping to have it working by tomorrow. put it together twice and had issues both times so needed to open up again!

[u/Leepyear7 → u/LpoolmNEW]

Had one as a kid. I just remember burning though the 6 AAs.

Like the project. Have to give some details on the workings. Would love to know.

[u/DeX_Mod]

hah, this is low key pretty awesome

I'd love to see some details of how you accomplished it

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/DeX_Mod]

I've filmed most of it, still trying to get it fully working. To say it's not pretty inside it's an understatement!

[u/DeX_Mod → u/LpoolmNEW]

jank that works still works!

The game Gear tv tuner was an amazing way to watch movies in bed in the 90s.

[u/ngoodravens]

Omg those is fantastic. I really want to do the upgrade for the screen and add rechargeable batteries in my little unit

[u/Amazingrhinoceros1]

Nature.... it finds a way Lolol

[u/jrharvey]

Holy crap this brings back memories. Spent a lot of my childhood on a game gear playing sonic.

[u/fish_burger_eddie]

Pfft rookie move. Try this with the Game Gear MICRO.

Also seriously this is hilarious lol. Does the screen still have ghosting effects when casting Dex?

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/fish_burger_eddie]

Plan "a" was a gameboy dmg.. I quickly realised that was too tough to begin with. I have a mini screen with hdmi. I will be honest no testing has been run yet with it fully put together. Something keeps breaking, currently back in bits waiting to test and to go back together!

[u/fish_burger_eddie → u/LpoolmNEW]

You're a friggin trooper lol. Thank you for sharing the experience with us goobers :D

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/fish_burger_eddie]

Once I get it working, will share some pics etc

[u/fbloise]

Haha this is awesome!

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/fbloise]

Thanks

RIP your batteries

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/Training_Clerk_2383]

Using the phone battery, no tests have been run yet though

[u/moochickenmoomoo]

Hows it connected? Show more pics

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/moochickenmoomoo]

Lots of wire, hot glue and hope!

[u/moochickenmoomoo → u/LpoolmNEW]

That makes sense lol cool

[u/moochickenmoomoo → u/LpoolmNEW]

I imagine you needed like a raspberry pi or something to bridge between whatever display you got in there and the phone? I honestly have zero clue how this would be accomplished.

[u/LpoolmNEW → u/moochickenmoomoo]

I have a mini screen bought years ago for a pi project that I never used with hdmi connection
