Aspect ratio on a small screen doesn't really show much but if that LCD had an ability to go 4:3 I would have changed the bezel and covered the unused sides.  A true 4:3 LCD isn't made anymore and can be expensive.  PSOne for example is a popular one for mod use but it is older technology with CFL and would suck on power hard unless someone does perform LED mod.

I'm positive 4:3 screens are still being made. I'm sure screens of all sorts of of ratios are being made. I bought a Tascam Portastudio that has one last year and I'm pretty sure they are still making it.

Getting it for $13 on eBay...that I can't say.

Well Este, it's not priceless. It's $750.

It's a steal!

:)

Anyway, I agree with you l, crazydean, that this will be a tough sell.

Even though I would love to have this thing, I am in the minority. Plus, if I did have it, the stretched screen would be something I'd have a very difficult time ignoring.

This is the PCE + RGB Booster + TED in a box = a tolerable PCE console-guy.

Ha. I was just about to mention that PCE SD thing to compare it to the LT2. Pretty specific hobby that guy has. While the stuff he builds looks good, it's just so niche. I guess I would rather spend time playing games than building enclosures for them.

Although, the same could be said for all the time I spend on the forums. I have noticed an inverse correlation between time spent on gaming forums and playing games.

Perhaps the same could be said about all religions.

They certainly are.  The cheapest ones are about £15 and 3.5", you find them sold as rear parking displays on eBay.  But you can find larger ones if you want to shell out a bit more.

Not as funny as the mail order bride ads I'm seeing Safari.

Seriously, can't we Patreon this forum? I'm sick of looking at these f*cking ads that can't possibly be generating that much money anyway.

Patreon, or even PayPal, would more efficiently collect the money needed for yearly maintenance of this site. I am happy to pay for us to go ad-free.

I have done so for another forum recently, would have nothing against helping cover server costs here.

Yeah, they still make 4:3 LCDs but, boy, are they harder to find than 16:9. I had to make do with an 8" display (really wanted more like 9.6" or so) for this little tiny retropie thing I am making, because I inisted upon 4:3.

On the bright side, I might be able to build a little built-in TATE mechanism!
