"Laptop and Gamecube"

Say I wanted to play my Gamecube on my laptop, how would I go by doing it?

I'm thinking there might be an external USB thingy allowing me to connect the 3 scart connection thingys (very technical!) but I'm not too sure...

Is there a way of doing it or not?

Had a look around already, I found a USB TV tuner that might work but that's about it...

Thanks.

Phil, how about something like this

(7.2" flat monitor designed for use in car but can be used anywhere)

Didn't try out my VGA box thing sorry, but they are about £45+ for a decent Happauge one.

I just checked mine and its an LG (explanes a lot), so stay way clear of LG ones.

My advice about TV Tuners is get a good one made by a good company such as Hauppauge. I have a TV card that came with my PC and it is a naff one from Taiwan which jams my pc if it is used for more than about 5-10 mins. Oh, and remeber if you get an OME you'll need software like InterVideo WinDVR or similar.

that was probably me, I wanted it to record and upload replays onto my website, I have an external USB one, it only has an RF input and I'm sure although it records fine in real time it was a bit jumpy when actually trying to play a game on it.

Will try it tonight as I'm nice like that.

You could possibly get a PCMCIA TV-tuner - someone on here was asking about one a while ago. I can't remember who, and I don't think they were very successful :O/
