You would have to use two different batteries. Gamecube needs at least 10v and the screen can only use 8.0v.

So you could run the Gamecube off a 12v battery and the screen off a 7.4v battery. Otherwise buy a cheap $8 regulator.

Get a screen that runs off the same voltage as the Gamecube? If I were you, I'd buy the regulator..

couldn't I bridge the 12v and 5v like ShockSlayer did?

No-one has successfully ran the 12v line at lower than 10v.

They ship usually in less than a week to your door.

I put a Psone screen on a Dreamcast and called it a portable and got blasted by the guys at DigitalPress. They said it wasn't a true portable and directed me to this site. 4 years later and here we are
