I've been reading a few of these threads where people are using out gauge to make external gauge's for LFS. It got me thinking can I display gauges on external display e.g. portable DVD? rather than programming a GX2 or ngage.

how does one connect a portable DVD player to the PC dare I ask?

good question, im looking into it

edit: yes certain types inc Bush & Philips support video input

Quote from jeroen79 :

Then all you need is software that will take the data from the sim and draw whatever gauges you want.

Please tell me where can I find such software.

I might be working on such an application... send me a pm if interested.

its already been made:

All you do is set the DVD screen up as a second monitor & move the gauges ont o it.
