[@finkz5674]

Lots of gamecube games supported and included 480p output by holding B when starting the game. You had to have a first model generation gamecube with the digital out port, but gamecube stuff was certainly made to be enjoyed on lcds. They dropped the digital port in later models since most people didn't have digital inputs (hell, lots didn't even have progressive scan composite) on their TVs. But yeah, GameCube stuff, from the getgo, was made for lcds and higher end crts. You could even argue that using a high end lcd from back then would be the "ultimate" experience.

[@seefuud2839]

​Yeah that makes sense, but Austin's way of making the "Ultimate GameCube Experience" would just make things more difficult because of having to use triple dongle on a more higher resolution monitor than just buying either a higher end CRT TV or an actual 480p display making things more crisp and clear.

Don't forget when you want run the highest resolution you have to set the GameCube to progressive scan mode so you can get 480p vs the 480i. To activate the progressive scan mode, press and hold the B Button while the Nintendo GameCube logo is being displayed until the message "Display in Progressive Scan mode?" appears. Select YES to activate the mode. Might help the upscaling look just a bit better. It also locks the display to 16:9 as well. Not all games support it but the ones that do make it an interesting little feature.
