| Are there no third party GameCube component video cables? If not, why? |

| Warmsignal:
Every other console which features component as an output, there exists cheap third party cables. However, for GameCube it seems there is not hence all of the offensively high prices for the official Nintendo ones. What makes GameCube so special that no one else can design a component video cable to work with it? Usually, a video cable of any sort is one of the most easily replicated accessories for any system. |

Wouldn't Wii component cables work? |
| sworddude:
Gamecube has a special chip in the original component cable to make it usable on the cube Nintendo made the cube in a way so other 3rd party cables are unusable they are just blocked wich as a result means zero 3rd party comppenent cables for cube to this day. no easy modifications apparently. Kinda wondering if a cheap gamecube 3rd party compenent cable if they ever managed to make it would have any influence of the price Kinda seems like a collectors item imo, you could easily use a wii or if you really want to go hardcore there are some pricy indi options. i don't think the gba player alone keeps the price up considering the other cheaper options. There is also an original scart cable wich has very nice image quality. way cheaper than the component option. and otherwise only for cube games just use a wii with it's component cable. |

Yes there is. As of now there are several alternatives like the set from Insurrection Industries. There is also the GCHD Mark II with all-in-one HDMI and component video compatibility. |
