Yeah, probably and hopefully. If not, the interference is down to an almost unnoticeable level, so when you are actually focusing on the game and the picture changes often you won't really be able to see it.
Also, I'm basically at a point where I'm waiting on parts to arrive, that's why nothing really interesting is happening in regards to the portable. I may try some controller testing in regards to the triggers, I have some 360 ones that I'd like to just see if they work. Plus I might could harness the power of clicky pens.

I am waiting on caps, joysticks, 100k pot, speakers, beta, fan, wiikey, and now batteries.

zenloc found out to load backups you can use the wiikey original backup-loader. but it only works for a specific region like if you have a pal cube you can only load pal backups... if you have an ntsc cube you can only load ntsc backups. i think i got it right but if anyone thinks i didnt... fix it!

So a Wii modchip on a Wii drive would allow backups on a GC...I figured that would work, cept I've never owned a wii modchip except the sundriver.

i remember ashen saying something about wondering if backups could be played using the wii drive using a mod chip and zen used a wiikey modchip and it worked.... zenloc even has a video about it so they both discovered it

To my knowledge 3 people have tested the Wii DVD drive on the GameCube. Myself, Zenloc and Shockslayer. Zenloc tested with the original Wiikey v1 drivechip and a few others. Zenloc WAS able to boot a few GCOS based discs to the GCOS menu with varying sucess each time he tried. But that is as far as it got. NO ONE has as of yet been able to load backups with the Wii DVD drive on the GameCube. The most that has worked so far is cross region loading with the original Wiikey v1 drivechip. If you wish to dispute this further please make a new topic to argue with me in.
To get back on topic a bit:
I received my screen yesterday which is the same screen SS is using here. I've done a bit of testing with it and this is what I've found. The screen itself is very nice. The display quality is on par with the much more expensive dalian 5" screens a few people have been using. Suprisingly the screen "stretch" for 4
games doesn't bother me a bit.
Technically speaking I have found a major flaw though. The screen starts cutting out at around 6.5v. This is a bad thing for those of us who wanted to use 7.4v battery's to power our portable. As the cutoff for 7.4v batts is around (5v?). Correct me if I'm wrong.
Other little tidbits about the screen: It wont turn on unless there is a video signal going into it, and at 7.4v the screen draws around 0.24 amps.

Hmm, well if that becomes a problem, I think a stepup regulator could easily solve it, looks like the screen doesn't draw much for amps anyways. I've never used a stepup regulator for anything before though, so I don't really know if what I'm saying makes sense.
The screen, though. I haven't taken an in-depth look at it's board, but doesn't the input line run straight to a regulator? Perhaps we could just use a TI reg like I did for one of my 3.5" screens in the past...Again I don't know for sure.

I have had three 4.3" screens and my friend had two.
Out of all of them, I have only gotten one to turn on and function perfectly at 5v and haven't tried any lower voltages. I ran a 12v adapter to a 7805 and used a multimeter to double check.
I haven't tried any lower voltages, though, as 5v is the bare minimum for the 7.4v pack that I was using.
Just thought I'd add that....
