DIY component cables?

[Chris230291]

Hello. Does anyone know of someone that has successfully made their own component cable?
When I google it I see a few pictures of what could be DIY solutions but I cant find any info.

Any input is appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris.

They are not DIY solutions, but DIY modifications.
There is a proprietary MX chip inside converting the signal which is impossible to acquire. You're better of buying it.

Has no one managed to reverse engineer what's on that chip? From what I understand you can't just take a dump of what's on there because they are protected against that.

The chip has been mostly r/e but implementing it is hard. Also one does not simply dump a transistor layout.

OK thanks for the reply. Is there anywhere I can look for more information? I'm not clued up on electronics but I know some clever people that might be able to help me out.

It's easier and cheaper to just buy a wii + component cable than getting a GC component cable.
