GCHD HDMI Adapter for Nintendo GameCube - Improve The Picture! - Adam Koralik

[@theshadowman1398]

This channel should have been over 100K subs long ago, baffled that it's only about now to happen.

[@drowssap4776]

The Shadow Man absolutely agree!

[@ewanwickward8587]

I mean, he's close

[@nathanieldavidson4497]

*ago*

[@tchitchouan]

Surprising how Adam can be in Japan, California and Chicago in the span of 3 days.

[@Minty_Meeo]

The power of a video backlog

[@AdamKoralik]

Yep.

[@drumtum]

He is philthy rich thats why ;-)

[@pas7680]

nah he doesn't pay for these trips.

[@shivasthong4924]

Don't forget Greece.

[@blindsniper9794]

Maybe it was just the recording, and live to the naked eye they're less distinguishable, but the Component cables blew the GCHD and HDMI mod out of the water. The color was better, there were no jagged edges without losing detail, and there were no jailbars running up and down the screen. I know the pure digital signal has more potential, so maybe the settings just need to be adjusted in the firmware?

[@Jon-lp6en]

JamesM9794 I agree the gamecube component cable looks 1000000 times better than the wii component cables.

[@madamemimsy4641]

I was thinking the same thing. Good thing the product has a component output!

[@prometheustrilogy]

Adam i know your a legend regarding this stuff, but im in Australia and have a PAL Gamecube with the component cables. I believe i do get progressive scan 480p or even 576p. The picture is 100 times better than composite. More colourful, so much sharper and alot more stable and still.

[@RadioTails]

First of all, the BIOS Menu on the GameCube only outputs interlace (480i for JP / US | 576i for PAL). When booting a game, it will still use interlace. Second, the PAL GameCube supports both PAL and NTSC. This means NTSC 480p is possible, but you have to force the game to run in NTSC (using a Freeloader or with a mod chip). Providing the game supports 480p, an option will appear during bootup, allowing you to select progressive scan mode. Some PAL GameCube do have the progressive option in, and is possible to activate them if using a NTSC signal. TimeSplitters Future Perfect being one. Using software like Swiss, it is possible to force a game to use 240i, 240p, 480p, 480p, 576i, & 576p. I've not tried this myself, but it can be a hit or miss playing with these options: www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Swiss/Forced_Progressive_Compatibility_List#PAL_game_list

[@Amishmediagroup]

My man Adam has a Panasonic Q Game Boy Player? Nice.

[@ShogunGin0]

Not really a fan of the HDMI mod footage, I see a bunch of vertical lines on the forefront of the picture, as if its a weird visual filter. I was lucky enough to come across the component cables a few years ago, so I'm just going to stick with those. Also, you could mention that if you have a SD card loader with Action Replay with the Swiss homebrew, you can force progressive scan in most 480i only games. The only games that I have that it doesn't work with are XIII and Star Wars Clone Wars.

[@TSA_57]

Yeah, those vertical lines were awful, if that wasn't just a recording issue, component definitely looks better

[@tuneman7688]

I bought this, I wasn't impressed at all for 150$ and ended up returning it. There was a bunch of noise/lines in the picture which you wouldn't expect for a digital signal.

[@thejackal007]

I agree with this. Adam, can you verify if that shows up for you in person or is this just something that is only showing up in the video? Also, can you break down the sound differences a bit more?

[@StormsparkPegasus]

I haven't used this adapter (I'm using a different one), it doesn't have any noise or lines in the picture. If it has lines in the picture there's something wrong, HDMI doesn't do that.

[@tuneman7688]

I know for a fact it isn't the TV or cable I was using. Despite being relatively babied it could very well be the console rather than the adapter. Though I wasn't willing to troubleshoot any further and pony up for another console or adapter. The lines also weren't like the footage shown in Adam's video, I believe those are from the capture. If I had to describe it was as if the picture was an SD signal coming from an analogue source, there was just some kind of faint noise or wave/lines especially when you're in the boot menu. When you enable progressive on any game, it was a bit better for sure but still not as clear as I would've hoped for unfortunately.

[@electronash]

I can confidently say that there is a serious issue with the capture setup for the HDMI example clips here. Those vertical line artifacts and general grainy image should never show up with the GC Video style devices. It looks like the capture card and / or scaler has a mismatch in pixel clocks, or something else is wrong with the encoding. Even my older 480p low-bitrate YT videos captured from my own HDMI GC device don't exhibit these issues. Are you using a scaler box between the GC HDMI and capture device? I can see why people are saying the 480p (and even 480i) Component image looks better than the HDMI mod here, but it's definitely a capture problem.

[@AdamKoralik]

Suppose it's possible, didn't notice an issue in editing.

[@Daerana]

I've had one of these for a few months now, absolutely love this thing!

[@tofubi6922]

Sooo glad you brought up the bit on how it doesn't take audio from the composite port. I have been researching console lag and the interactions that the gamecube has with various monitors and CRTs and a few methods require comparing the audio signal with the video single which otherwise would cause a HUGE headache if I hadn't known this previously. Great content man. Always love it, and keep it up.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I recommend playing all of your GameCube games on the GameCube's LCD screen add-on because the LCD screen add-on has no issues and there's no need for an HDMI cable for the GameCube.

[@OGManScout33]

Worries about minuscule differences between GC mods/adapters....still shoots videos on a potato. Just bustin’ your chops, love the videos man. Now load another VHS in that camera and get ready to shoot that 100k sub video!

[@exillionXLR]

I'm in the UK and have a PAL cube and EON adapter. I've found that forcing 480p through the swiss homebrew loader gives amazing results. I was dubious as to whether I was just messing with an interlaced picture but it looks just as good as my NTSC games do in progressive mode. Metal Gear Solid and Mario Sunshine are identical in forced pal 480p or NTSC progressive scan. This has sorted it for me as I was super disappointed with the picture from the adapter at first.

[@TheDeadman14]

Brilliant, and beautiful to see how far these consoles keep on going. A well done video Adam, still don't see how you don't have 100k+ subs. It's criminal!

[@AdamKoralik]

[@charlienicholson914]

I'm from england and when he said sorry charlie that was so surreal i had to do a double take lol

[@WhiteboyUltima]

Adam, thanks for answering the question I had about using a Freeloader to play NTSC games on my PAL Gamecube. Glad it will work for ProgScan. BUT - and I've said this in another of your videos - I'm not sure why you're saying that the Gamecube component cable was not released in PAL regions. I don't know the 'official' stance of it, but, in the UK at the time I saw them in just about every game shop I went into. They were kinda expensive back then too in 2002-2003 so I held off and after I moved to New Zealand, I still saw them for sale there and bought one. Still have it to this day. So the cable might not have been 'officially' released, but the reality was that you could still get them without too much hassle, just as you could in the US after some hunting. I'm going to get a HDMI device like this now (but not this particular one - the Zeldaxpro device is cheaper and smaller).

[@zaneiken07]

We DID get the component cable in Australia at launch but you had to order directly from Nintendo Australia. Our TVs may have been PAL, but our input connectors followed the US standard so we got component inputs instead of RGB SCART (unless your TV was European). 480i/576i may have been the maximum for us, but it was the best image quality available down under.

[@arturomail]

I went for the GCHD MkII because it provided HDMI output, but also allowed me to use HD Retrovision Wii component cables to hook up to my CRT and have better resolution than composite.

[@WindyCornerTV]

Gamecube component cables were sold in Australia, mostly through Nintendo's hotline. In fact Nintendo Australia still had Gamecube component cables available as late as 2013, sadly they're all gone now as I checked for a friend in 2015.

[@rickrastardly]

Informative, fair and thorough like usual. Adam Koralik/the the most trust worthy youtube fella

[@Jelster64]

You CAN play PAL games in 480p. Using an Action Replay disc and an SD media launcher in memory slot B, you can boot Swiss on a non-modified GameCube and force 480p on games. It works with most games, but not all of them.

[@Metal_Groove45]

I have this! It's a little pricey, but I think it's absolutely worth it! I feel like i'm going through a Gamecube renaissance right now!

[@mazda9624]

Thank you so much for this video, Adam. I was considering getting this device, but after hearing some things in this video, I might want to wait a bit longer to see if the price comes down or if they fix the audio issues. Until then, I'll be stuck with the Wii with component cables (which serves me just fine for now)

[@davedoubledecks1614]

I received this today and used it on my pal GameCube and played metal gear solid and Metroid US versions via freeloader/action replay and wow a big difference . This is perfect because most modern tv in Europe don’t have rgb scart connection. So I can play old my GameCube games again. 😀

[@Darkglobe1977]

The cables were 100% released in Australia, You had to order via Nintendo Australia directly. I not only have some from the time but the PAL Australian Gamecube box advertises them.

[@TheAnanaki]

For clarification purposes. Older model Widescreen HD TV's (circa 2008/2010) that still contain the S-Video input with the AV ports do a fairly descent job of rendering the 480i image. So if you have an older TV laying around, even if its 1080p, if it has the S-Video give it a shot. Looks way better than using the standard Composite on a newer model TV that contains no S-Video input. You may find that you don't even want a GCHD converter anymore.

[@lawnboyfreak]

I love my eon. I’ve never synced it to a universal remote, it’s just plug and play and works great. I haven’t noticed the audio issue first hand. The gameboy player looks great too.

[@danielpindell1267]

You should upgrade your camera. I have watched a lot of your videos and I think a new camera is over due for you. Great video.

[@CAPCOM784]

Daniel Pindell we want Adam in true HD 1080p 😆

[@fernandosepulveda8748]

No I like that his videos look like they came from 2005.

[@pooopanda9677]

Thanks for explaining the different video settings in different region for the GameCube. Reaching 100k subs. keep it up.

[@WhiteJarrah]

Judging by the clips you showed, I think the component cables look better than GCHD. The GCHD seems to have some vertical line artifacts. Little rows of vertical lines The component cables lack these. If you're having trouble recording PAL stuff, get an Elgato Gamae Capture HD. It doesn't care if its receiving PAL or NTSC.

[@KevinTwiner]

Always enjoyed your productions Adam so thorough and well done 👍

[@WhiteJarrah]

8:18 No, the max resolution you can get with PAL GameCubes is 576i, not 480i.

[@mtshark7]

Awesome video Adam!

[@RastaJediX]

Component is analog so with those it's only going DAC. But yes, skipping the analog makes the HDMI better. Thanks for the vid!

[@AdamKoralik]

The GameCube uses digital component, internally. It downscales to analog. An HDMI mod (so not the GCHD) bypasses this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_component_video

[@zacv1288]

As always informative and a top video!

[@BenjiDWJ]

May we see a video on the Carby at some point in the foreseeable future?

[@AdamKoralik]

If I had one, sure.

[@gametourny4ever627]

I am pleased with my GC Component Cables. I bought them a few years ago for $150. With them you can get audio where you want and you can use them with stereo's and such. Also the Component cables give more options whether you want to use an hdtv or a CRT :)

[@The-Fishkeeper]

Definitely planning to get one of these at some point.

[@danielnieto2566]

Road to 100k subs! Early congrats Adam!

[@itchyisvegeta]

Adam, I may need to correct you on something. The HDMI adapter is most likely NOT just a component to HDMI adapter. Reason being is, the component port isn't actually a component port. It is a straight digital out port, which was designed for other display peripherals in mind (like a concept VR headset), more so than the YPbPr. The official Nintendo component cables have the digital to YPbPr encoder built into the cables, which is why generic component cables never became available. This is why it is more likely the HDMI adapter reads the digital out and converts it to HDMI, instead of converting the digital signal to analog, then back to digital for HDMI. If it was that simple to convert the digital out to YPbPr, there would be more generic component cables on the market.

[@AdamKoralik]

I think I mentioned the lack of an analog downgrade in the video, but if I didn't then my bad.

[@itchyisvegeta]

No worries. It isn't commonly known. Great channel and keep up the amazing work. I found out about the gamecube digital port recently from an episode of My Life in Gaming.

[@drumtum]

I am only playing my GC games on my HDMI WII. My Gamecube is looking great on my shelf though. It is a classic for me, and my favourite system of that generation.

[@NewGabeOrder]

Well, there are HDMI and VGA adapters that output raw 480p signal from the Wii or Wii U. That's what I use to play my Gamecube, Wii and Wii U stuff on any computer monitor.

[@RetroTechSelect]

Two questions: What are you using to up-convert your component video to digital? Are you using the Wii or GCN for the capture? The reason I ask is that dithering pattern used on the background is absent in the component clip but present in the S-video. In my own experience, YPbPr makes dithering "pop" more than S-video. Whether that's a good thing is up to taste.

[@krillen64]

I know Ryan from Caslemania Games. He is a great guy and a friend. As far as I know Caslemania Games is one guy (not a they) That runs the company part time from his garage. I believe that is how it is from what I heard (I think it was RGT 85 I heard say that cause he know and meat the guy too).

[@BladeBlur]

So close to 100k

[@BCProgramming]

The Audio from the Digital AV Port is Digital Audio- Normally that same digital Audio is converted to analog within the gamecube to output through the Analog output, but it's also routed right to the Digital output. I'd suspect this adapter takes that Digital audio and basically routes it right to the HDMI port; so the audio differences would be because of differences between the DAC in the Gamecube and the DAC in the receiver/TV.

[@Whiplash47]

HDMI Mod and GCHD Videos seem to look much worse than the composite in the video at least. They have weird vertical lines over the entire screen like your looking through a glare filter or something similar. Would that be a side effect of the recording/KZbin Process or is that what the picture actually looks like when you use the device?

[@Broomfondle1]

Yeah, I own both the Gamecube and Wii, and I'm sitting there thinking, why spend on a converter for the Gamecube when component video cable for the Wii is a lot cheaper plus you get to kill two birds with one stone. The Wii is backwards compatible, and games look awesome when in Gamecube mode through component video.

[@Cspence216]

MagicThighs Exactly, you can find a Wii at a thrift shop or goodwill for $10 bucks or less and the component cables to go with them. I bought two Wii systems for $4.50 at my local Village Value just because of the price, lol. Both backwards compatible. $150 nah, lol. These for people who own framemeisters and such. If it was around the $40 range or less than i would buy. I don’t love GameCube that much to spend $150 on a converter.

[@CAPCOM784]

Another advantage is having a Gameboy Player it will allow for better video using the hdmi plug and play with GBA games.

[@natedogg5641]

That's what I did but I also use an enKo component to HDMI upconverter too.

[@rafaleek100]

Happy 100k Adam :)

[@haloharry97]

Just a few notes. In EU we have higher resolution games but slower Frame rate also you can force progressive scan on all GameCube games including pal if you have Swiss software.

[@scottythompson940]

cool gamecube hdmi adapter did it work good adam

[@jdlmon3]

Great video. Its funny you talked about the sound. In my opinion I thought the Sound was better. I thought it was because it was 100% digital vs using the av cables. I am using it on a Yamaha 7.1 (but only setup for 5.1) receiver, jbl and Bose speakers with a Pioneer sub. I thought this sounded amazing. I noticed I could hear deeper and cleaner bass on my sub and better highs on the treble coming from the speakers.

[@lolidayo]

I don't like the color and grainy effects on all these hdmi devices. original component cables looks the best in my opinion

[@Jon-lp6en]

lolidayo no there are expensive,hdmi is the perfect replacement

[@turbinegraphics16]

Hi I am from Australia, to get the component cable you had to order directly from Nintendo and some pal games did support 480p, I saw it with my own eyes and it was mentioned in some of the manuals

[@TheGamerNerd025]

Awesome video as always, Adam!!

[@AdamKoralik]

Can't say I noticed that.

[@TheGamerNerd025]

Adam Koralik I have a good eye ;) lol idk what it is to be honest scan lines?

[@codeywings10]

[@AdamKoralik]

I have the Game Boy Player too!

[@everythingpony]

codeywings10 whatsvso special about panasonic?

[@larsfischer5153]

With action replay and swiss you can get 576p (with component cable or gchd) even with PAL gamecubes. And you can use japanese american and europaen on every gamecube !

[@Rob_M_jr]

Just an observation, but you keep saying "universal remote", but you can use ANY remote control. You just use the button to program any remote control to access the menu. In fact, I simply use a remote to a tv that I don't own anymore so it doesn't interfere with other remote controls.

[@ChristTopha]

Great video! My only suggestion is when doing the comparisons at the end, you should use footage from a game with more color. I am curious how each color palate looks with each connection as I imagine that would also have quite a bit of variation.

[@AdamKoralik]

Hard with the Cube, most of those are Nintendo titles, and they still go after guys like me

[@drowssap4776]

It seems like a cool device, but it is quite expensive.. it would be cheeper to buy the hdmi board and mod the console (albeit it seems like a complicated mod). Good review though, very comprehensive.

[@seanryanmetalhead]

I love this because I like to play on original hardware. There's just something about that. Emulation simply isn't as "cool" in my opinion. Also awesome video Adam! :)

[@Katana2097]

We PAL users really got short-handed when it came to old gen console gaming. No progressive scan for 480 games and 50hz standard. I'm aware some PAL games for PS2 and a lot for GC had PAL60 which was nice. Europe had SCART which was very nice, not sure about Australia, but here in New Zealand SCART wasn't really a thing. So we had no RGB, and no 60hz or 480p. 50hz S-video or component was our best option generally. I much prefer NTSC, so I import NTSC games. But when it comes to RGB I have to find workarounds or do CRT mods for it to work just like NTSC users in the US. TVs with PAL and NTSC support was common enough for imports not to be much of a problem though, at least in my experience. I do have in my possesion the infamous GC Component cables though. They were my dad's and they're still in the packaging... so that's something I don't have to worry about. I own a NTSC GC so I'm definitely getting this product! It seems super beneficial and makes the GC look fantastic on a modern display.

[@MichaelDBaker]

Thanks for the thorough review! Personally, I'm going to wait for the GCVideo X2 unit that BadAss Consoles is developing since it will provide HDMI out as well as compatibility with Wii Component video cables and even RGB for a similar price ($130 plus shipping). I alternate between playing on an HDTV and CRT so that unit should provide all of the output options that I could possibly want, including great options for running a signal through an external upscaler.

[@AdamKoralik]

Thanks for watching.

[@Glitch_343]

Great. Been trying to find out if this was compatible with PAL so thanks for answering that. Currently using a scart cable which looks great but with new Tv's not coming with scart ports any more, this is becomes a fantastic option.

[@cannonballkid]

Please do a review of the Marseille cable, maybe in conjunction with the Dreamcast!

[@Matt-gh2zm]

Adam, would you consider comparing the hdmi cable by Pound Technology for the OG Xbox (when its back in stock) vs its official component options? There isn't much info out there yet for how they stack up

[@AdamKoralik]

If I had one, yes.

[@CAPCOM784]

Seen a lot of bad reviews on Amazon about them not working correctly.Another person online makes his own plug and play hdmi but can't remember his name.

[@Matt-gh2zm]

I know they don't get digital audio out, whereas the component cables do. That's a pretty significant hit against them

[@ihsan_lol]

I was lucky enough to snag a good quality, Psyclone brand Component cable from ebay for 10 bucks back in September, if you can find one of those, just get that and don't bother with the HDMI cable. They are never in stock and you will pretty much get the same quality from these shielded component cables.

[@CAPCOM784]

Retrospektif Is the video quality good?I bought a generic brand cable with digital audio for the xbox works well for me also.But bought a energizer brand cable for my Xbox 360 and it was terrible 😣

[@videogameobsession]

It looks like the Nintendo YPbPr Component cable output looks the best to me. The HDMI mod and GCHD HDMI output has some weird visible vertical banding.

[@califaern3sto]

I just ordered the 79.99 carby hdmi adapter lets see how it goes

[@octranspo9321]

Awesome video! My favourite videos from you are anything discussing a specific generation or anything Nintendo related. Just a slight nitpick for the Wii with the component cables, and some interesting info: There was a very slight revision that Nintendo made with the Wii later on. The later Wii models (Family edition, no GameCube ports) have better component output than the earlier Wiis. The quality is described as being almost on par with the GameCube on component, but still inferior. It closes the gap between the Wii and GameCube component output slightly. It's not just limited to the Family Edition Wiis. Some GameCube compatible Wiis that were produced later actually have the better component output. If you have a black or red original Wii, those WILL have improved component since they were produced from 2010-2011 and have the revised chip. The white Wii with the revised motherboard is relatively uncommon, due to there being more white Wiis that are older. If you have a white Wii, check the serial number. If it starts with LU70 or above, it will have the revised motherboard with the better component chip. Some Wiis starting with LU1 will have this too, but it's a crapshoot. Here's a source: shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51789&sid=2f497331dc0252d0c001c4c174c6d76a&start=30

[@chakrazoo]

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Adam, thanks again for the video. I had a Gamecube with the official component cable and I sold my system and games. Since then I have been trying to put together what I lost but for simplicity I just play my Gamecube games via my Wii using component cables but I am interested in EON's new N64 Super64 HDMI adapter and I am happy to say your code works for that as well at Castelmania Games! With your code I saved $14.99 and I had was free shipping here in the US and all with with no additional sales tax. I don't usually do blind buys but it looks like EON has a good track record and the Super64 looks like something that can sell out quickly once people find out about it. They even have it bundled with an mCable but that was too rich for my blood but it made me think I should not get ride of my current HDMI upscaler but use it with the Super64 to see what happens. It is really is a great time to be a retro gamer. Thanks for the video and for that code!

[@debeatz1012]

Adam you forgot to mention that if you are in a pal region you have the affordable option of using SCART ...RGB 4Life BaBy

[@AdamKoralik]

I didn't forget it, pretty sure I explained that.

[@Whenitraveltheworld]

Great video as always Adam. Shame about the price, if around $99 with shipping i would bite instantly, but not for $149 + Shipping. I will just play GC games through my modded Wii for the time being.

[@GamePrepper]

Adam like always amazing review my friend! I think I'll keep using the component cables just because of the price and because I paid the hefty price of the cables and I can't spend another $135 with out my wife noticing. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers in advance.

[@richpaino2826]

do you use it for your pal gamecube?? if so does it make a huge difference from composite since component cables cant use progressive scan mode for pal gamecube thanks

[@ewanwickward8587]

Sweet, a code! Now if I can scrape up the money for one, that code will definitely be used

[@chadbrick67]

Big Adam long time no see mate .hope ya well

[@AdamKoralik]

Welcome back!

[@duhmez]

I just sold my gamecube component cables for $300. The reason why Pal did not have that is pal would be 576p and the system would be not powerful enough to do that.

[@greenhxify]

I got an adaptor one like this but smaller from Zeldaxpro. Works fine for me. Oh and it costs like 20-30 bucks cheaper (including shipping to us)

[@Sappharad]

It also works with the Panasonic Q. I purchased that model too because it was my only option. Works fine there.

[@nerdyneedsalife8315]

From what I saw, there is a soundchip in the adapter. When I looked up the cheaper version, from MetalJesusRocks review, he said there was an integrated sound chip. I don't know too much about the soundchip. I don't know if it 's an FPGA to imitate the Gamecube's sound, I don't know if it's a piece of hardware that emulates the signal, I don't know. I only know it has a soundchip.

[@LarsAgerbk]

Hope you will be able to do graphics comparrisons where different outputs of the game run side by side simultaneous.

[@BigBoch]

In my head you were around 1m subs already.

[@clydecashDEEP]

Nice stuff! I noticed you didn't try using the gameboy player with this one. Was it because it was beyond the scope of the video? Or just for copyright reasons? I would hope they look stunning.

[@AdamKoralik]

Oh it works fine, I just didn't feel the need to include it.

[@omegarugal9283]

Thanks for reminding me of another of Nintendo fuck ups

[@puma0085]

That was indeed an awesome video. Very informativ as always. I would be interested in getting one of these nice adapters but unfortunately I live in a Pal Region (Austria) so no 480 for us. So I am not sure if it is worth getting this hdmi adapter for a pal Gamecube. According to your footage 480 i does not look that bad but not as good as it would look in 480p. So I really wonder if I should get the adapter nontheless or save the money and get a decent RGB Scart cable instead . Will be a tough decision.. Not sure yet what to do ...

[@jacobrobertson6738]

This was a fair and great video. I have the ZXP latest 3.0 and honestly there really is no reason to get the eon. The ZXP is only $100, 2.5x smaller, more compatible with Tvs, and software upgradable (heard significant update coming to gcvideo). Build quality is fine. Video quality is the same and honestly think it is the better value for the price. You should contact ZXP to see if you can get a unit, a comparison video/review would be great!!

[@everythingpony]

iPhone User wait wait wait? How did you get it for only 100$? I tried ordering it and he charged me 146$?!?!?

[@everythingpony]

[@jacobrobertson6738]

Rainbow Dash it's $100 plus shipping. It's been like that since 2.0. I've been tracking the progress ever since 1.0. Yes older revisions damaged consoles, but the 3.0 fixed that so it's an irrelevant point today for options. I've been using mine non stop for hours it's been flawless.

i thought the wii and gcube had the same video port, and thus the wii comp cables work on the gcube.

Hey Adam, I'm one of the unfortunate PAL region users and while not actually focused on this product in particular, was hoping to get your advice. PAL Wii with Genuine Component RVL-011 cables through an OSSC for PAL GC Games OR Any GC with Genuine Component cables through an OSSC for PAL GC games Just hoping the OSSC transcoding might compensate for the 480i on PAL GC games, similar to how it greatly benefits PS2. Would love your thoughts on this! Thanks!

Europe didn't get progressive scan options for games, but the games that had that option had 60 Herz options instead, which might be just as nice as a 480p output. I'm pretty sure North America didn't have 60 Herz options, so I think a digital 480I or 576I resolution + upscaled to 1080p while being 60 herz is still worth it. Might not be 480p + being upscaled to 1080p, but 60 Herz is still nice.

[@erikheijden9828]

Dennis van Rijswijk 60 Hz wasn't an option in NA, it was the standard.

[@dennisvanrijswijk97]

Erik Heijden Wow allright. NA versions are much better then lol. I thought I read somewhere that N64 and Gamecube games had better framerate with PAL versions or something and that NA TV's could only get 50HZ.

Actually Adam what if you use a Scart cable using a pal unit and game BUT also using a framemeister at progressive mode? Wouldn’t a framemeister be able to upscale this and improve the picture quality or at least be equivalent. Cheers dude! 😎

[@AdamKoralik]

No, that won't be as good. Doesn't work that way.

[@devastator200]

Adam Koralik HDMI cable, NTSC games it is! Cheers boss :)

We sure got screwed in PAL regions when it comes to gaming, in some ways we still do.

[@Prime92]

My way of thinking is that a device to connect a console to the TV should not cost more than the console itself.

[@davidboettcher4554]

Good video but I wasn't the GameCube intended to play on TV's with scanlines?

[@jamesclarke6354]

Great video, I am a GameCube user in the pal region with the official RGB Nintendo scart cable, so what I kind of get from your video is that it’s not really the money to get this adapter as I won’t benefit from progressive scan??

[@mypoophurts2291]

U should do side by side screenshots so we can compare not off of memory. Also I’m using component cables on my 4K tv is there anything I can use to stop the negative effects of upscaling? (I believe quality gets worse right?)

[@azraelga4268]

Great review

Wear a headset for ASMR box opening at the beginning of the video.

[@luiscortazar6291]

What does 240 p with the gameboy player look like?

[@laghi72]

Thank you for this interesting demo Adam. I've already my GC connected with component cable (upscaled to 1080p through an AV amplifier). Do you think it could be anyway worth buying?

[@AdamKoralik]

Depends on I'm your intentions. Definitely helps with future proofing and recording.

[@RaymondYouTube1]

Dude, both 480i and 480p are the same resolution, even with VGA, component or HDMI. Same thing with both 1080i and 1080p.
