What do you mean? Like use your iBook's LCD as a TV? There's nothing that can do that in realtime, as far as I know.

There are some video input options, but as Wataru said, it won't be real time. I've tried but the lag makes the game pretty much unplayable for action games (at least with Firewire and the adapter I used, the Formac).
If you do want to try anyway…
Formac Studio TVR
Eskape labs products
I believe these products are all bus powered.

What is 'bus powered?' The last link that you sent seems pretty good.

It means that the device draws power from the bus; in other words, you don't need a power cord.
If I were you I really wouldn't waste my money trying to do this. There is nothing out there that can do what you want in realtime, so games will be unplayable on these things.

Seeing that you're a Nintendo fan, imagine Mario coming up to a bad buy, you press a just before it touches him, then watch and find out to your horror that your timing was off and Mario takes damage. So, be warned…

It might be easier to help you if you told us why you would want to display your gamecube games on your ibook. You do know that the gamecube puts it video out at tv resolution (320x240)? Looks good on a tv, but will look horrible expanded up to 1024x768.
