Wow, that's pretty amazing work. Was always discouraged by the fact that the GG had such a poor screen and no way to play the games on a television. Very clever mod and it looks beautiful. Not in my budget right now but I just wanted to commend the work. Best of luck with the sale.

New screen means that Sonic 2 is finally playable!

Stupid question but does this have a scaler to make GG games fill more of the screen? I assume that is what is meant by being able to adjust the resolution?

That is correct. GG and SMS will default to full screen.

Added a couple videos of scaling and scanlines capabilities.

I wish I had the dough, it looks really nice. All of the GG LCD mods look pretty great considering the original screens.

that is amazing, I like it. Tons of fun for whoever gets it.

Alternatively, you could get the Master System version.

Some day I will get around to installing my McWill LCD. I bought one of his Lynx LCDs and a GameGear LCD. Good idea about the controller ports. I may add those to mine also.

johnnykonami · 12/16/2015, 05:43 PM

I should try to get those too, I always wanted a Lynx, too. And I've been through the entire library, should be a couple easy pickups to get most of what I want. My first would be Xenophobe - I loved that game in the arcade, and the Lynx version adds a lot of new playable characters and other little extras. Probably then Xybots, maybe Rampage, Rampart... I used to really want Electrocop because I read it had a connection with Impossible Mission, but it's loose at best and it's nowhere near the caliber of I.M. Also as a kid it seemed like the coolest game.

synbiosfan · 12/21/2015, 11:43 PM

You really have to see it...amazing work.

I have a few Game Gears that I won't be playing anymore.

Thanks turbokon!!!

Bardoly · 12/27/2015, 04:25 PM

Amazing! I would love to have one. Maybe one of these days...

synbiosfan · 12/28/2015, 07:20 PM

The new screen is great playing R-Type via the Master Game converter.

Years ago when I tried with my best old GG it was too difficult to see enemy bullets.

Thanks again turbokon!
