Title: Can I use my laptop to play Game Cube?
Post by: yoamoadios on May 17, 2004, 10:28:06 AM

Hi:

  I just got a gamecube and I really dont know a lot about cables. My friend is in ahospital and the television that they have cant be used to play gamecube, and they dont let to bring a tv.  

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1100, and i saw that it have a tv output, is that is the name. Is just a round cable receptor with 9 little holes.

  I left my gamecube in my house and now im in the university, so i cant see if the av cable (thats the name of the 3-colors cable that I conect to the video of my house tv to play?) conects to my laptop. I already saw ebay to see is any adaptor says to be to used to play gamecube with the laptop... nothing.

 I don't want to play gamecube games in my laptop. I want to use it as monitor.

  Does it possible? If is, please write me what cables are necesary.

  Here is the 1100 specs page

  Thanks!!!!

Nope, doesn't look like it.  I see no video input here.  You would have to buy a capture card for your laptop.

They might make a port replicator for the 1100 with the correct input.

You need a TV capture card.

 Ok, for the dell 1100 come this adapter

 And for the gamecube this one

You still need some sort of input, you don't have that.

Does the TV in the hospital have the old screw-on cable hook up? Like the NES/SNES had? They sell a converter in most stores that allows you to hook the GC up to the old cable jacks behind the TV.

Go to a PC storew, ask for a TV-in card. They'll explain. If there's no PC store available to you, you're pretty much screwed since I doubt general stores carry TV-in cards for laptops.
