Hi all.

I'm doing a little FPGA project and I need a small color LCD - ripping one out of a GBA is actually the cheapest option I've found. It's sad, I know, but the little guy has to be sacrificed for the greater good.

Does anyone have any hardware interfacing specs on the LCDs used in the various GBAs? Timing diagrams, signals specs and application notes / example circuits?

I found a schematic for the original Gameboy LCD by Jeff Frohwein. Something similar for the GBA series is what I need.

Thanks.
Grumpy.
