I had the idea of building a sort of DS-looking peripheral that hooks up to a PC and more or less acts as a couple extra displays and a controller. I know how to implement the controller part of the project, but I have no idea what I'm dealing with when it comes to LCD screens.
From what I've gathered, I need to program a microcontroller to handle all of the logic/translations in between the PC and the smaller screens. This guy (**broken link removed**) managed to get the DS screen to mirror itself on larger displays using a Spartan-3 board, so I can't imagine it would be impossible to get a PC to do something similar with some DS-like screens.
Does anyone have any advice regarding the matter? I'd really just appreciate a nudge in the right direction, or even insight as to whether this doable. I'm willing to take time and learn some more complicated concepts (I'm adept when it come to PC programming, but new to all of this hardware stuff), but I'm willing to accept it if something like this is totally beyond my abilities.
Thanks!
