Does anyone know if someone has made a power converter to use an N64 in a car? I know that a DC to AC inverter would work, but it seems kind of silly to convert DC to AC just to plug the N64 in so it can convert AC back to DC.

i bought a $19 AC inverter from http://www.heartlandamerica.com for my systems and laptop, i dont see what's "silly" about it. We used it when we were camping outside (like fools) Best Buy waiting for our PS2s. We were holding video game tourneys all night. i had more fun waiting for the sysytem than actually playing that POS.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you probably shouldn't play videogames while you're driving!

It is for when he is on hold with his cell phone.

Is there some kind of portable screen you can buy that's portable with a power source?

Okay wiseguys It is for a guy I work with. He is going on an extended family vacation this summer, and his brother was looking for a way to hook up an N64 to the TV set in his conversion van. A cheap way to entertain the kids for the 10 hours on the road.


Thanks for the help DVDKrayzie. It only seemed "silly" to me because I had only seen $60+ prices on inverters. I know DC to DC converters were much cheaper, so it seemed that a better solution would be to cut out middle of the the DC to AC back to DC conversion.
