Is it possible to take a game system and run a cable into a game boy or psp to use as a screen and controller?The game systerm will be in a backpack with a battery source.

sorta. You can plug an adapter in the gba for video. The buttons then controller the brightness ect.

Why don't you just buy one of those GBA Game players for a Gamecube? That's assuming you have a Gamecube...If not, there GBA2TV Adapters on the net, not sure about controller mods tho...

For PSP, buy one of those PSP2TV Things. They have TV Outs on them and allow a PS2 Controller to control the PSP. It does require you to open the PSP tho...

a better solution than gba would be to use one of the screen/controller combos that were out for ps2.

psp doesn't have a video input method that I'm aware of, but gba could be done by attaching the control test points to a custom joyport and using the video input cart. The problem with gba is low screen resolution, a problem which the above mentioned combo does not have. I'm assuming you're thinking GBA because you have one--don't think that way, and enjoy gba for what it is. That's a lesson that took me too long to learn.

Get a firmware 1.50 PSP off eBay, or get a <=3.50 PSP with Lumines from the store, install custom firmware, then get emulators, and rom backups of all your legally purchased games.

Other than that, no. The most you can do is stream video from a computer over a wifi network.
