I'm wondering if anyone knows how to connect as SNES to a laptop. I'm stuck without a T.V. for the time being, but I have a brand new Del Inspiron 1300 laptop. I'm wondering if there's a cable that will let me set this up.

I believe you need a TV to PC adapter thing, then you can run the cables from the SNES into that, and display it on the compooter screen.m It'd set you back $40-$60 depending on what you're looking for. Actually.. this might be a better option.

All that will do is allow you to view your laptop on a TV which he doesnt have. I looked at the connections that a Dell Inspiron 1300 does have on it, and there's no video in port. So basically, no you cant hook up anything to view on your laptop screen.

You could use a usb video adapter if you don't have video-in on your notebook. http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-VX3&cats=125&catid=614%2C125There may be problems, though. I don't know how other laptops are, but my Japanese Fujitsu notebook has video-in. Still, I can't play videogames on it. The problem is that there is a 1-2 second lag in displaying the image. So when you push a button you'll see Mario move 1 second later. I hope you know what I'm at, because I can't explain it better. :oops:

I see your point. I don't think I'm going to spend $60 on this kind of stuff. I'm at the university res at Algoma right now, and there is a public t.v. so I might just hook it up to that some time.
