Sweet find!

Don't forget that Virtua Fighter on the 32X has a "squeeze" camera mode in the options which is actually a 16:9 mode!

For $15, it would totally be worth it. As for me, with the retro systems, I would rather have 4:3 as most games are that.

I assume the TV allows me to display 4:3 material with black bars on the side, otherwise that will be a deal breaker.

The N64 also has widescreen games, such as DK64 and GoldenEye.

Take the passenger seat out. Should only take you a few minutes. I transported a Beetle engine in my Neon coupe that way.

Well yeah, but then you have a smaller screen size when playing 4:3.

Mine is an 8th gen Civic, meaning the front seats have airbags so its not an easy matter to remove.

Hmm, that sucks. Not just a socket clip that can be undone like the weight/seatbelt sensor on some car seats?

I looked it up after you mentioned it. apparently a mess of electronics connecting it to the SRS system, plus at least 4 bolts.
