Say I've got a Laptop, and a Gamecube...

Is there a way I can get a connector to play the Gamecube through the monitor thingy on my Laptop?

I can't get a TV and that's the next best idea...

I'm pretty sure there's an adapter for the XBOX to do the same thing...

Erm, can't say anything else really but I know that they do the VGA thing like somebody said, but laptops dont have the right conections. Do I dunno..

Ahhh, I was wondering why you had no Cube

Suspicions of betrayal crept into mind.

Stupid laptop.

Of course it's not been nicked. How can anyone nick it when it's tied to the radiator?!!!

Hmmmmmm.

I'm gonna go on a rampage through the halls now to find someone with a Gamecube, in fact, I'm pretty sure there's a PS2 in someones room along here..

true, it connects the Cube to the Monitor VGA lead via an adaptor thingy, BUT the VGA port on a laptop is output not input if you see my point.

May work, may not ? I did buy one for my PS2 but quality wasn't great so I returned it (it was a Blaze on which cost about £40)

There is a lead that allows you to play GC games through a PC, I think even SR were selling them at some point.

Hi, I haven't seen one, play-asia.com may sell one, please let me know if you find one, or get one of the screens that clips on the top of the cube or a small 5 or 10" portable TV (cheap black and white but expensive in colour)

PS. Your laptop's not been nicked yet then ?
