Um not sure how it would work, but it would be something different and new.  Let us know how that works out.

It would work just fine, but you will want an lcd monitor for obvious power saving features.  Asside from that, a laptop or mini-itx board could run everything else.

The thing I am wondering is why?  Will this be playable inside the vehicle on another screen or will you have to get out and pop it open to play it?  Only thing I could guess is are you a big tail gater?

Word to the wise. Don't set it up for a light gun.  Could be viewed very poorly by outsiders :laugh2: :laugh2:
