But it can be done, though need to remember, this is not the final screen that I will be using in my build, this is just to get a rough idea of how I would have to link up to the Saturn's motherboard... not checked yet, however I suspect I will have to attach some connectors to keep the screen removable!
Lastly, anybody know where I can get several 'dead' Saturn motherboards?

They may be NTSC though, cuz I think he has some broken consoles he wants to get rid of. Anyway,some of the parts there may be helpful

Hey, also a quick question; what are you going to do for power/battery? And how much voltage? Maybe you can just forget about the power supply completely, and just have a battery of some sort with a couple of voltage regulator modules? That is basically what a power supply is. Of course, then you would need some sort of circuit to make sure there is no ripple in power, as that can tear up something fast.

Well if you check out the image of my design I posted on page 6, you'll see that it will be able to use both battery and DC power. It's not finalised yet, I still need to work out how everything is going to fit!

Righty, some bad news and some good news! The bad news: if you remember I found that car CD playera while ago, it's not playing ball, there's a lot of junk I'm trying to bypass and there's not a lot of give in the unit, so, I have decided, to shove that one in the can! The good news: Well, my local car-boot sale came up trumps again! This time, I managed to find a CD drive unit, with just the one button to eject, rather than the front fascia, with the dials and many buttons to try and find where they connect to etc like my previous one did... that said, I can still keep the other one for parts. I know it says Audi Navigation, but that won't present much of a problem!
