I'm quite content with playing these games in progressive scan on a Trinitron computer monitor on my Wii using the right adapter to convert to VGA, cause I not only play with the right aspect ratio screen, but also I don't have to simulate any scanlines, cause the nature of the monitor gives it a natural look. I've never tried out this last option but I "think" it's compatible with the official Wii U Gamecube controller adapter as well, so you get to play your games using the original controllers as well. On the other hand, a soft modded Wii can force ANY gamecube game to output in progressive scan, using the right setup of homebrew tools, though admittedly the Wii outputs progressive scan over component, which is an analogue and not digital signal.Īlternatively still, a Wii U which had its vWii mode softmodded is capable of outputting ANY Gamecube game in progressive scan using "Nintendont" (which also exists for regular Wiis) and allows to play Gamecube games in progressive scan over native HDMI. Which means, this is useless for PAL gamecube owners, since NO PAL games were ever released that had a progressive scan option (despite our models coming with the same output built in). I don't see any mention of the biggest drawback of this thing: It will not let you play in progressive scan games that were not made with this compatibility in mind. We aren't talking about a $300 bricked Switch here. The flaw was identified and he corrected it. He made a cool product that had a flaw because he used to build the case by hand. Sorry the guy isn't Microsoft and doesn't have a $500 million dollar R&D budget.

This is the first that is 3D printed to stop shorts from happening when it gets moved. No good can come from a moving a disc based system while operating. Especially as TVs are going away from component bricked consoles were moved while operating. For my setup I'd rather have a Wii U and Gamecube attached digitally since the Wii U can do everything the Wii can do. Oh, and there's also the GBA Player that the Wii doesn't have. I also hate fiddling with Wii controllers, finding one that has batteries, and going through the Wii O/S just to play a Gamecube game. The Gamecube picture is sharper than the Wii. You could sell the component cables for $200, pick up this for $100 and likely have a better picture and Wii with component is a fine option. I think this looks fantastic and is worth the upgrade.

But as the article mentioned, my hdtvs do a much better job taking a 480p digital image and scaling to 1080p than taking a 480p analog image and scaling to 480p. In theory they both output the same 480p quality. Fri 6th Apr have component cables and this hdmi dongle.Please read our FTC Disclosure for more information.

However, if you want to hook up your GameCube to your modern flat-screen it really is a no-brainer, especially considering this device will no doubt cost you less than trying to get your hands on a component cable.

If you're a purist, you may wish to stick to an older CRT TV with a component cable (if you can get one). Overall we've been very impressed with the GC Video Plug 'n Play 3.0, whether you should purchase one basically comes down to the kind of setup you want with your GameCube. Using 480i we had mixed results with the devices built in line-doubler, sometimes the TV did a better job of de-interlacing so we expect you'll need to tweak these settings to find out which works best with your TV.

We tested the device on a range of different GameCube games, including the Game Boy Player(!), with the best results from those that support the 480p mode, the clarity of picture is fantastic.

Audio is also delivered through the HDMI signal as 16bit PCM 48KHz. By default, games will run in 480i, but any of the games that support progressive scan can be triggered in the usual way by holding down (B) on boot to enable 480p mode 60hz (576i/576p 50 Hz on PAL GameCubes).

The adaptor has a mini-HDMI port to connect to your modern TV the one we were supplied with also came with a free cable. If you've ever used a component cable on your system then you will have used this port before, although it's worth noting that towards the end of the generation a DOL-101 system was launched without this port - naturally, double check your version before ordering this device. The unit is a small nylon and carbon fibre 3D-printed housing that connects into the Digital AV Out port on the back of any DOL-001 model GameCube.

Hardware mods aren't for everyone, and we've looked at an HDMI mod for GameCube before what makes the GC Video Plug n Play 3.0 totally different is that it's exactly that - plug 'n play - there's no hardware modification required whatsoever.
