Yes, that screen will work nicely. However, it will be slightly lower quality than other popular LCD screens.

I have owned one, and I noticed that it had some blurring in faster scenes, but for most N64 games it was just fine. It also could run at 7.4v, or at least mine did.
Cheers,

Not if I outbid you! :mrgreen: ..joking, I'm not that cruel 8)

If you don't win that gamecube one, and have a little bit more money to spend, this is the one most people buy: Zenith XBox/PS2 screen ..It has identical insides to the Official PSone Screen.

He won't ship to me here in NZ anyway. and I would rather spend a bit more money on a PSone/zenith screen.. although I'm sure the gamecube screen would look fantastic too, if he posted to NZ I'd probably be very tempted
