--- Quote from: aliensstudios on November 07, 2019, 06:48:19 pm ---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. --- End quote --- as i said in my post indi alternatives however those are around 70 100$ + these are not what one would consider the cheap 5$ 3rd part cables like with other consoles thanks to the way the gamecube was made. again why I'm thinking that the original component cables are mainly a collectible at this point since there are other options al be it just moderately cheaper and only for the gameboy player if where speaking of usage since gamecube games can just be used on a wii console. not to mention that the original cables only slightly increased in price last couple of years not gone down even though we have other options so i don't think usage covers the full price in this case. rare hardware that is collectible or used for purist as my only explanation also for a crt the gamecube's original scart cable might be better. |

They're trash. Just get HDMI one, or component through the Wii. |

ironicly the image quality of the gamecube component cable is slightly better than the wii one. kinda stupid but what does one do about it. scart or the more hardcore indi alternatives are probably the better option if you really want to use the gameboy player badly |

Plus +1 for the Carby, I love the thing. The Gamecube has a "digital out" not a component or multi-AV out like other consoles. Actually the later Gamecubes don't have digital out at all. Like others have said, the Nintendo cables had a chip that read the "digital" signal and compiled the video from there. The newer HDMI adapters for Gamecube didn't come around until just last year when the chip was finally reverse engineered in a way. The setup stinks in a way because for years we were limited to the highly sought after 1st party cables, but good because now that we do have HDMI adapters the Gamecube's digital out produces a slightly cleaner and brighter image than Wii component. |
