Gamecube Component cords for $47.65 shippedpest
Moderator:Moderators
I won't be very active for the next few months, but heres a lil something I found after some digging. Keep in mind this is half the normal price for Gamecube component cables. It is NTSC.

Good find! These typically go for $70-80+ on eBay (last time I checked at least).

How good of a boost in video quality is there?

Re: Gamecube Component cords for $47.65 shipped
I suppose I could just compare the video quality of the Wii against the Gamecube.
Re: Gamecube Component cords for $47.65 shipped
The biggest difference is that the colors look washed out, fuzzy, and "white-ish" in comparison to RGB.eagle5953 wrote:I suppose I could just compare the video quality of the Wii against the Gamecube.
I have two PS1 screens that nobody wants to buy, so I'm just going to hook up RGB and Composite to them and post pictures.

A $50 cable that's not hdmi just to improve color. Hmmmm
This is where being a modder comes in and you build your own.

Let us know when you figure out how to make the custom IC that's in the cable.thewise1 wrote:A $50 cable that's not hdmi just to improve color. Hmmmm

Yep the Gamecube Component Cable had the Ic built in it. And people have tried to replicate it and failed.
And @ thewise1 .... It improves a lot more than color, it also improves resolution and contrast and detail. It's really worth it IF you have an HDTV.

I can post a picture of the difference between the two in a minute using God of War II on my PS2 as an example.hailrazer wrote:Yep the Gamecube Component Cable had the Ic built in it. And people have tried to replicate it and failed.

Edit: Here they are:
Composite:
RGB:
Granted, this is RGB instead of component, but you'll see similar differences going from composite to component. The composite picture was a screenshot from my TV tuner, the RGB picture was a picture of my monitor. Obviously this won't completely be fair, but I can't take a screenshot of RGB. The picture I took of my screen for RGB came out a little more red than it looks in real life.
Note the enhanced readability of the text and the general clarity improvement; also, notice the RGB lacks the funny pixel distortions around the edges that are present with composite.

Re: Gamecube Component cords for $47.65 shipped
Thanks for the pictures jdmlight! And yeah, its a little expensive but I would say $47.65 is a deal compared to $70 and $80 ones that you see everywhere else.
For gamecube portables, however, I will need to do the RGB mod to the IC chip. Its a very easy mod requiring only one resistor to be added. I don't believe I need to add in Vsync and Hsync for PS1 screens. Someone check me on that.
