TSC: so happy you've come into this thread smile the DVD player idea is rad; will definitely give that a shot! Choosing between Protracker & octaMED feels like debating the light and dark side of the force - I've been all Protracker so far, but I nabbed a MIDI interface recently and I feel like OctaMED is calling to me now for that sweet, sweet possibility of sync... wink

Oh, and use Octamed. Protracker is lame.

@an0va: Have you tried a portable multi-region DVD player w/ video input? They worked for me. Best part: they're CHEAP!

Finally I got the VGA one, for modern ZX Spectrums like Eva or Speccy2010. And it was this one: http://www.beetronics.co.uk/7-inch-monitor-with-vga

Seems like this one http://www.beetronics.co.uk/7-inch-monitor-white however has all 3 inputs/modes. And it's still 7" only.

Good luck.


Whoa these are both awesome! I know it's probably impossible but I wonder now if I could find something that I could plug my NTSC Amiga 500 into. Protracker 2.3d runs default in PAL and chops off the bottom/top of the screen on my RGB monitors, but with my very specific Amiga 1080 monitor I can adjust the V-HEIGHT to a point where Protracker refreshes the screen to fit everything on at once. It works but I feel nervous without a backup and this stuff is fairly difficult to get here in the states! smile

+1 For a car reversing camera. Deal Extreme sell a selection of those fairly cheap and it's large enough if you only want it for viewing close up.

Wow! A good finding indeed. I love it. A case/box with the TV screen. wink

Although it's only for the second PI version, I notice.

What size range are you looking for?
3.5"-4.3" is a little harder to find but once you get to 5"-10" it gets pretty easy.

You can still get phono out from the B+, you just need to use a 4-pole adaptor. I use one of these guys: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triple-3-x-Ph … 51afe36190
