GameCube at its Highest Definition | The Best Quality Possible
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2018
- The Nintendo GameCube is stuck between the Standard and High Definition era. It's not easy to make it look good on modern HDMI TVs, unless you want to spend almost $300 on Nintendo's solution. Luckily, EON knows how to get the absolute best picture quality out of your GameCube. Melee has never looked so good.

"This ist The cleanest fotage of melee you will ever See!"
TH-cam switches to 120p
Or just use an emulator at 4k
144p
Yup
*Uses an emulator on 1080p with the highest anti aliasing setting, had textures, and widescreen patch plus gamecube controllers*
Sammy Cochrane TH-cam Emulator? Where?
Or just get in a real fight in the street now that's melee hd
Touché
Strontiummuffin Two shay
This reminds me of the time Bob beat AJ in Smash
I tune in to learn about GameCube cables and get Bob AND Dan?
I hope this becomes popular in competitive smash tournaments and streams
Alex Franco Correct me if I'm wrong, but would this eliminate the need for Melee players to hunt down and search for old CRTV's?
Gavin D wut
Gavin D no, because the input lag is why we need crts. Not because of how the game looks.
Socaran Ectien 7:15 there's our answer
LCDs will never have the response time of a CRT, this is why this will never work in a tournament setting.
Subscribed and liked JUST cause of this! huge GameCube lover from Greece here! keep up the good work, mate!
Great video Bob! I was interested to see how this doodad worked. For me though, I’m waiting for HD remakes on the Switch. The price tag is just too high to justify the purchase in my book.
8:19 HOO MAN DID THAT MAKE ME JUMP OR WHAT!!
I missed out on gaming from the start as well I was able to go out back then hehe. But I feel I missed so much. Got a few old consoles but the burn my eyes. Same with game boy advanced games now. I really like the idea of this.
You have a great face
Thank you I love your channel I think you're doing an incredible job and I love your delivery thank you so much for all the hard work that you do
Weird.... I sneezed and tapped on this video by mistake.

I have a bit of a theory here: Fanatix and Wulff are brothers.
FanatixFour Now thats using your head
Great videos like always
Behar Bros makes an HDMI box for the Dreamcast, the Akura Box. Works pretty good.
GCHD is running GCvideo which you can buy on much cheaper FPGA cards called the Pluto II if you are willing to do some soldering to get it installed. Same HD output and menu (plus you can solder controller input to the board so you don't have to use IR to change the GCvideo settings)
thanks for telling me the difference between 480i and 480p i wondered why my frame rate dropped on most of my computer apps it auto set it to 1080i when i plugged it into my tv
In order to stop the flickering on the top and bottom of the screen, need to enable progressive scan mode by holding b whenever you boot up the game
"this is the cleanest footage of melee you will ever see!"
Me with an Mclassic: "are you sure about that?"
It's an option for a very small minority of gamers. Me? I'll use my Wii via Component - which is fairly inexpensive - and the image is nice and clean.
My Samsung Smart TV Series 6 allows you to push the picture into 3:4 ratio. But I use Nintendont on my Wii homebrew, which allows you to force the video to 16:9, not STRETCHING, true 16:9 ratio. Although the front screen textures are stretched(similar to the health counter on SMS or the clock on AC) I can get used to it.
Doggy Doggy Nintendont for the win! I hated playing GC on my wii with Dios Mios until I discovered Nintendont, then I sold my GC.
What about S-Video? I know it got phased out on the newer HDTVs, but it can make a big improvement over composite on a compatible set
Thanks! Great info :)
For my Playstation 2, I have RCA to Scart converter and it works wonderfully. Also the quality of the game on my new tv looks a lot better than I remember back in the day 😂
I have both a Wii with component and a GameCube with the HDMI V3 by Zeldaxpro. Paid $102.50. I tested it by moving my Cube side to side and no loss of image, sound, and no system damage.
For any of these HDMI solutions, I'd say if you don't mind spending it then get it. If you're not going to play a lot of the GameCube then maybe not worth the purchase.
I don't regret the purchase since I saved up for it, but on my tv i do notice some jaggies in some games. So your experience may vary depending on your tv as well. These devices can only do so much since they don't have an upscaler.
But can it play Melee?
The black bars were vibrating because you didn't enable progressive scan mode on the games. You showed us a cleaner 480i signal throughout the video, 5:09 says the signal is interlaced.
Wait, you were at TooManyGames? D: I could've met you...
0:06
i have used the same tv for 12 years so yes
Yes I have a standard definition tv kept one around for retro consoles. A nice Sony Trinitron 32 inch widescreen. It is Heavy as hell to move though.
You can play All your GameCube Games On the Original Nintendo White Wii console. It holds 4 wired controller inputs on top of the Wii Console and memory cards. Thats the best way to play The Cube.
That's certainly a good option.
SteamedRevenge
What do you mean by "not?"
The component output is great on it. Bad component cables on the Wii can ruin the signal though. I have good cables and bad cables and there is a big difference.
AND YOU GET CONPONANT 3 CABLE TV INPUTS SO YOU GET A WAY BETTER TV SIGNAL THEN YOU HD TV MAKES IT PRO SCAN BY DEFAULT so you get pro scan vs interlace and you tv is scaling it also wii looked great on samsung 768p tvs and lg xd engine upscaler colour aa optermiser 768p tvs I SHOULD KNOW THATS WHAT I DID looks awful on 1080p tvs tho
I play GameCube games on my black Wii. (Some support GameCube games.)
What I usually did is her HD Wii component cables at use that and the games looked great for like 6 bucks on eBay. I bought one from Best buy years ago and one for 6 bucks from China on eBay. They both work the same. I recently bought a new 4k TV and it only has the red white and yellow plugs instead of all of them which sucks because my old flat insignia flat screen had all of them
I did not know you uploaded
I just picked up a $10 27" CRT for my gameroom and it looks fine to me.
I just play my gamecube games on my Wii with component cables. I never understand why people don't think of doing this because Wii component cables are dirt cheap.
Idk why people hate Mario Sunshine. Its my second favorite Mario game after Mario 64. It was, and still is, an awesome game.
one day we'll have quantum fpga chips and will be able to use those to play original hardware at whatever fidelity with whatever enhancements you want
I bought a cheap Gamecube RGB Scart cable for £15 .. Games look amazing crystal clear and razor sharp.
Just bought myself my first gamecube with this adapter for only $100. Even four years after this video, this adapter is at least $150 and a GC console is around $50-$100 with controller and cables. Feel like I got a steal, though it does smell like smoke and is currently undergoing odor treatment... hopefully it will turn out otherwise I am going to have to sell it and buy another one...
What kind of television doesn’t have Standard definition input? Every TV I’ve ever owned has at least had a SCART input and I’ve never seen a TV without an RF port.
That’s not how progressive scan works it sends a hole image in one frame while interleaved is what you said sends a half image every frame. That’s why when you convert 480i to 480p through a converter the frame rate is lower idk why can some one tell me why I hear that all the time that the frame rate lowers.
At that price you could get a GC compatible Wii and a HDMI adapter for the the Wii (they are awesome BTW)
Or did everyone forget the Wii was GC HD (at least thats why I bought mine back in the day)
Carby is better imo since its the same image quality but half the price and also has a better metal connector. Also the Carby includes a remote.
I just use my SNES RGB cable, colors look really good, the edges are much sharper and it's 4:3 and that cable coasted me 12€ ( it's still interlaced but I just don't see it on my tv maybe it just hides it )
The issue is that it only works on pal consoles but not a problem for me as I live in Europe :)
For GC I settle with a Wii with component, for NES and PS2 (the only non-hd consoles I own instead of emulating) I just keep a nice CRT TV next to my HDTV for. And yes, I do have component cables for my PS2, but not enough games support widescreen/progressive scan, and I think in general PS2 games just look better on a CRT.
That's kind of a dumb question to ask. All the TV's in my house besides the living room tv have AV support. Not everything has to 4k UHD capable.
Once you set it up you can play game cube games on dolphin just like an original gamecube (u can use original gamecube controller with it.)but with just better graphics
Loved the Gamecube, still play it sometimes. Very underrated console.
Hey great video. Put the thing you’re reading off of behind the camera though, it looks like you’re talking to someone off camera.
0:38 Did you force wide-screen and force highest quality using swiss?
Do gamecube games look fine through wii to HDMI converters?
I'm picking this up soon.
Does the wavebird controller work it's own IR stuff as a remote for it?
I have my original component cables
Hi can you help me? My Xbox one s fan making wierd noise .and i don't know what to do
I've got me an old AV only TV. Works great.
I've been wanting one of these since Metal Jesus did his video on this newer, better one...
They keep giving loads of review
The only reason I haven't bought one is because it's more money than I'd be willing to pay
I'd pay £40 MAX (and that would be me paying more than I'd think would be a fair price, as I'm an enthusiast... A fair price would be £20 imo)
eBay’s GCPlug HDMI adapter for GameCube is $50 cheaper, and fits into any GameCube or Panasonic Q system without any problems. The downside is that GCVideo software is not built in, and the Remote Sync button does nothing and serves as a useless dummy button.
I want something like this for my N64. Guess I'll have to shell out a good chunk for a ultra hdmi soon...
Man this video is interesting and the final conclusion is great but the way you get there isn't the most correct?
You can soft mod and unlock framerate, FOV, and change resolutions too.
What one sets your video to best quality for a 24” monitor?
My TV has a built in aspect ration changer thingy (it can change from 4:3, 16:9, Original[whatever it was originally], ect.) so I can prob just change the ratio. I don't really care about picture quality that much anyway, so the adapter route is the one I'm taking
If I had anything other than a ps4 lol
This is the best image you will ever get..
*raises hand and wants to talk about Dolphin*
.. Out of a Nintendo GameCube.
*slowly lowers hand*
Watching that GameCube hang from the cables horrifying. I felt like I was watching a lynching or something.
Is there any way to use a different controller on Gamecube?
I use my old Sony Trinitron for all my retro game systems hooked into surround sound digital for the best sound possible I go old school cause thats how it was when these systems came out which gives me more of a nostalgic feeling but everyone has there own thing and opinion this is just mine
Recommendation for using HDMI on Wii to play GC games?
And then he proceeded to get sponsored by EON, in a future video
Windwaker looks godly with 480p cables...it legitimately rivals Windwaker HD for the Wii U
Sooo, a $150 Eon huh. No sir I don’t think I have any use for an EON. I tell you what though....do you have any rubber walrus protectors?
I lol'd
What the difference between this and simply playing your GC disk in a Wii?
GameCube/Xbox/ps2 is my fav gen also. Best games, ever!!
But why buy this over the other HDMI adapter? They fixed the issue with breaking gamecubes in the new model, and the two adapters should still be running the same software made by someone else...so what’s the difference? What are you getting with that extra 50$ that you do not get with the new Model 3?
Does the expensive cable effect the gba adapter
Did they stop selling it? it only have one on the amazon link and its a used one for 250$
I was waiting for this device to be released, then i was devastated by the news that it doesn't support PAL (interlaced) games. So I'm waiting again till EON releases a PAL friendly version.
I have the Gamecube component cables. Only way O would ever get this this is of O could procure Panasonic Qube and tramsfer the Component cable to that and then use this device with the orogonal cube.
So is this better than using a wii with component hd cable
I use the component cables with a frame meister
Dolphin 🐬 FTW I love the Gamecube but being in a big city I can barely find good deals on the Gamecube and games, yes there’s Amazon and yes there’s eBay but if I can get the games for free off of a website that’s my best bet. Yes it’s got problems if you don’t know how to set it up but there’s a TH-camr named simply Austin that gives a thorough and detailed walkthrough of the settings and such. I love playing Windwaker at a full 1080p at 60FPS and Simpson’s Hit and Run at that same resolution the only problem is that it takes a good gaming PC to be able to deal with running it and old PC will barely work. But I have an excellent gaming PC so I won’t need to worry about it
I would certainly like to use a physical setup for my GameCube games
But I wanna play Path of Radiance and god I am NOT willing to pay that much money
Sunshine > 64 fight me!
I tend to avoid physical altercations with insane people, and crack heads. You have to be one of the two to hold this opinion.
Collin McRae true
M64 is overrated trash. Galaxy 2 or Odyssey were the best 3D Mario games.
Nikki Seven what’s wrong with galaxy 1?
SmashyPlays Nothing, but Galaxy 2 is the better game overall.
Wii with GC backwards compatibility using RGB cable it is. :-P
I got a scart cable off ebay for £4 and it looks fantastic for me
Very true I need one
3:44 composite also have sound,
Digital don’t
wait, modern Tvs ditched RCA? Why? and I think I'll just stick to a CRT or older flat screens with RCA lol
Is this worth it for PAL users, where our PAL gamecube consoles don’t have progressive scan?
Bloo Well you can use homebrew software to force progressive scan, but you can just use RGB, which is pretty close to YPbPr
The video port is used for audio too
I feel that on the Wii U if you emulate the GameCube it'll be brighter crisper and upscaled a lot better than trying it on the Wii not compared to the original GameCube backwards compatibility if you emulated or use a real disc on the Wii it is significantly a 6 out of 10 compared to the Wii U emulation of GameCube gives you a more crispr feel no lag I would say 8 to 9 out of 10 especially if you play Triforce games which blew my mind that's just what I think I'm very happy with doing it that way works really well
why not GCHD vs GCVideo Plug-n-Play 3.0?
The correct "its" you want is "its". "It's" means "it is"
god damn it
Did grammar Naziing actually work?!? Praise fucking Talos!
Why dont you get the xrgbmini framemister or ossc and use rgb on retro consoles since that s the cleanest image available and used for those consoles.
Fabian Lopez
While the Framemeister excels at 240p/288p, it doesn't do well with 480p/576p. Besides, you would need the component YPbPr cable to use it anyway.
Carl Siemens i mean he could use the HDMI ports on the framemister and connect it to his monitor.
Fabian Lopez
Oh, I thought you were suggesting it as an alternative to gcvideo.
I got a Hyperkin HDMI Adapter for the Gamecube/N64/SNES/Modded Top-loader NES and it's awful, it's a very very noisy signal. I've been really trying to get a good HDMI adaptor because my first one, a generic PS2 to HDMI converter, worked SO WELL. Taking the Component Signal, upscaling it well, no noise in the signal, doesn't require external power and even has a headphone jack. I'm just so disapointed with that adaptor, though... I also had just a standard RCA to HDMI adaptor and it was also bad, but fine when I used my Xbox on it... I think my GameCube is acting a little bit funny
Hey it's Willy Wonka!
Welp. Time to buy a Gamecube with both video ports. :0
Wait hold up I’ve plugged in a GameCube into an hdtv and it it looked fine?????
Do upscalers cause lag?
Simple soloution for this. Use a PC and play it in native 4K. It also works for Wii games. And Wii U games.
You get the same image quality at a 1/5 of the price on a Wii with the hyperkin HDMI cable.
To me, more progress was made from N64 to Gamecube than any other generational leap. (Aside from SNES to N64, but that's a different story)
