If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

yes. It might only take RGB, in which case you would not be able to use it with an N64, NES or atari (older pre-nes systems). But otherwise, yes.

Is there any real disadvantages to using the screen?

that depends on the screen itself, but in principle, no.

Some brands of gamecube screen are bad like the intec screen but if I remember correctly there is also a zenith screen for the gamecube which is similar to the psone screen though maybe thats the xbox or ps2 or all of them.

I think it also requires 12v, which is higher than most portable's batteries.
