Thread: Sharp/ Casio Gamecube display

first i would like to say that the infomation above has provide a lot of help cheers for posting it.

i have got the sharp display (gamecube lcd ) exact same display, wired up corect as per the prevous post.


the display defently does works properly as i have tested it.

the problem comes when configering powerstrip . i can get get at display at 640 , 480 this ok but its it will only be in the centre of the screen . so the image is square and a strip aprox 1cm vertical either side of the display that is wasted. AND is too small really.

i have tried adusting the timing and sizing and but when i incease the size past what will fit on the display the display goes out of sync.

i also can only get the stanard res working , 680 by 480 , 800 by 600. ect
the aspect radios dont do much either.

any help or things to try would be a great help.
thanks

To get things sized up properly I had to do alot of playing with the settings (Fields such as: front porch, etc...). Wish you would have posted before I reformatted, could have put up my config file...

thanks for your reply ,
much aprecied . will have to play about more .
if anyone has any more info please post .

just to say that i have got it working not too bad and it fills the whole screen. ended up buying a cheep and old
Matrox Mystique PCI Graphics card off ebay and now it works.

Thanks for the guide, much appreciated!

Just wondering though, how do i find out which wires inside the VGA cable go to which pins on the cable?

Am I reading this right??? Did you just ask how to tell which wires are attached to what pins on a chopped VGA cable?
Ever hear of an Ohm Meter? wtf? if you are entertaining the idea of doing this VERY simple hack, and don't have a dvom, or know how to trace wires on a cable, please disconnect from the internet and go outside to play.
Thank you.

EDIT: props to the OP for a well written, detailed how to. Good job newbie!

Thank you.

No need for the rudeness mate, especially not to a new member... I thought there might be a standard, like with a CAT5. Just saves me (and everyone else) a few minutes messing around with a multimeter.

There is no color standard that I am aware of when it comes to VGA cables.
If there is, I think ISO's website would have that info.

Hey, anyone have the pinout to the controller board for the sharp gamecube screen. the origanal one?
