gc-forever - Gamecube/Wii Forums

Hey...
i need a little help for that thing
as i rummage in the forum i find some threads about the video output
some like VGA or component or something like that ( didn't really understand it )

now my question is, what for a Mod is possible
an how can i realize it?

btw.
i got 2 gamecubes, a DOL101 and one DOL001 booth PAL

Since the Gamecube only supports a max of Wide-480p, there's not much benefit to going VGA or HDMI unless you need to plug it into a PC monitor.

If you're just looking for the best the GC can look, go for the component cables which, unfortunately, are rare and not cheap. (You'd pretty much need it anyway for one of those mods.) But with the component cable you don't need to mod anything, you just need to find one... which is the hard part it seems.

Also component cables only work on DOL-001.

Try scart. Most PAL games don't natively benefit from component, with 480p disabled if not removed.

^That. Plus SCART is as good as 480i/576i component but much cheaper.

Yeah i was look for an component cables, but there are extreme expensive up to 170€
thats to much

i thought there`s a another solution to get the picture a bit more sharper
couz the games looks a bit wishy-washy at my Flat screen TV

Then SCART is what you are looking for. I have one of these cables and it looks amazing.

can i use just the conector and plug it on the chinch kabel
or did you meyn an Full Scart Cable?

He means a real RGB Scart cable. They are just a few Euros on Ebay.

Yeah if you use the adapter, video is still composite.

ok, i will look for that

RGB Scart might help, but it's probably your TV's crappy upscaling at work. Try a CRT TV.

agreed...
CRT is worlds apart from those flatpanel disasters

i was amazed with 480i component which is about the same as 480i RGB...
if anyone has a CRT with RGB input, forget looking for the digital AV component cable....
i would be just as happy with 480i RGB as i would with 480p component....it even looks almost as sharp as 480p....
i said almost....
