Whoa meta
Good point
I was lucky and got a free GC component cable. Well free in a sense that a local game store owner appreciated my business after years of patronage and gave it to me as a thank you.
that's a great store owner
You think that's great, I've gotten E3 trinkets from booths from his trips there. They're not super fantastic, but Sega suckers and bags can be cool. Though last year they were a little skimpy to downplay booth hoppers.
what stoer??
i'll seduce em' and take his shit.
Jared Garcia lucky you.
Now I shall tell a story that will make people mad at me.
About two years ago I was at a thrift store looking through their collection of cables and found a GameCube component cable in there... for $2. Not $200, Two Dollars flat.
Got to the register, hoping that they still would not realize what they had. I don't have cash on me, and there's a $5 minimum on debit charges there. So she decides to just give it to me for free with my friends order.
I ain't mad.
Just very very jealous. Very.
Bet I can beat that.
In the 90s there was a used game store down the street from me that had 3 copies of Starfox Super Weekend. They were listed with the same price as the original Starfox game, and my dumbass didn't see the point of grabbing one because the store owner told me it was just Starfox, but with a different label.
Yeah... look up "Starfox Super Weekend" on ebay right. This shit haunts me to this very day...
Sell it for profit, and then get your 'Cube modded for HDMI.
Grenaderang How jealous am I? on a scale of 1-10, I'd say about 2882720730173026063026392
Paianni: That's exactly what the other guys are doing already on eBay and Amazon.

I have to disagree with your views on the Dolphin emulator. I have played with the emulator alot, and at my college's last LAN Party, I hooked up the Mayflash Gamecube USB adapter and was playing 2-Player Mario Kart Double Dash at 1080p, 60 fps LOCKED. No hiccups, no stuttering. It was great and very nostalgic for alot of us at the party. Now there are numerous games that just don't work with Dolphin, but to completely write Dolphin off as something "neat to tinker with" but with no real functionality is not right in my opinion. I have also purchased the Mayflash Wii Remote adapter and have played a few Wii games on Dolphin again at 1080p 60fps locked. And again it's great.
+VGSoundtrackGuy Dolphin is anything but perfect, but it is hands down (in my opinion) the best modern emulator in existence.
It's truly amazing! The compatibility is incredibly impressive for an emulator its age. I own a GameCube and a Wii but you haven't lived until you've played Brawl and Melee with increased resolution.
The only downside is that in order to get it running at full speed you have to have some pretty hefty hardware (which thankfully I do). I can't wait to see just how much Dolphin will improve over the years.
To be fair they also didn't completely write off Dolphin, I just suspect that they don't have as much experience with emulators. They can be rather finicky.
+Zak S I run melee on 2x with a n AMD x4 860k
Zak S As of late, My Life in Gaming has persuaded thousands of viewers (including me) to research and invest into what MLiG has recommended. And they pretty much said in the video that Dolphin is "cool" but don't expect much. Which in my opinion like I said, is not right. I cannot tell you how much joy I've received from running my favorite childhood games at 1080p 60 frames per second locked on Dolphin. Dolphin is not perfect, but it DOES work and can be the best solution for HD def GameCube as long as the person is okay with a handful of games not working on the emulator as of right now.
Because of the way MLiG talked about Dolphin, it makes it sound like a waste of time to download Dolphin because of it's lack of rock solid performance in some areas. So the average viewer, the GameCube component cables or the HDMI mod sounds better than Dolphin by the way this video makes it sound. So yes, in a way it does look like they talked about it just to write it off. They could of worded the section on Dolphin better.
VGSoundtrackGuy Their issues primarily stem from the emulator not being nearly as accurate as some of the better emulators for older systems like NES or Atari 2600. Those systems can have nearly entirely accurate emulation, but Dolphin has a long way to go to claim that for most titles at this point. Also, in my experience I've noticed the audio isn't nearly as accurate in terms of sound quality as original hardware. Like they said, it's fun to play with for now, but it has a long way to go to be generally considered accurate to original hardware.
Its 2018 pcsx2 runs almost all top games dolphin to . in hd if you wanna play some shitplie of fuck game thats not on the list no one cares its the main titles people play kingdom hearts 2 final fantasy mario kart star fox smash bros and on like seriously. I have wii u emulation of the new smash bros that blow your socks off in 2160 on a laptop so . the guy making this video is making money from some sponser to advertise bullshit basically. I mean dolphine has 75 percent of games playable as of right NOW. If your games not in their go get a junk cube and run it at shitty quality. But people us who are smart wont spend a dime on mylife in gameing s pils lf horse fuck shit not 1 cent or 1 dollar lots of dislikes by alot of my viewers from my webiste
How come this channel doesn't have more subs? This is top quality stuff. Keep at it, you earned a sub.
+John Doe It's niche stuff and will probably go way over the heads of most casual gamers. Great channel for a limited audience, but I'm glad they're doing their thing.
i agree with you, all channels need to start somewhere.
+justin halen stfu. You are probably ugly AF. You can't say shit about them. You're being stereotypical by saying "nerds." Just because they are smart about retro gaming video quality doesn't mean they're nerds. Dumbass
Because people like viral garbage consisting of info regurgitated from Wikipedia.
I like "viral garbage" but I also like stuff like this too. :D
Despite the RGB 100 and 200 (haven't seen the 300 videos) videos being more than 5 years old, they still have the quality of current TH-cam videos.
You must be some special kind of TH-camr to future proof your videos like that.
I actually used VGA on my Gamecube back in the day. I discovered a way to mod the component cables. Metroid Prime running at 480P on a Cornerstone 24" monitor with 75-ohm VGA, and sound piping through a surround sound receiver, was an experience I'll never forget.

Every video keeps getting better and better. I was sad when this 30 minute video ended! Love your work!!!
Side note, I paid $130 for my GC Component Cables back in June 2013.
Damn... I bought mine for around €30 back in 2006.
That is what I call an excellent video. A TON of information, footage, research, good paced voices... just perfect.
The amount of effort you guys put into these videos really shows. I knew a little bit about the GC digital port before, now I'm well more informed about it, had no idea that there was such a budding mod scene for it. I thought all that was available were the very expensive (and hard to find) cables!
thanks for making such great content guys. Your RGB series are a great resource to the community. Can't wait to see when you take on the Turbo Grafx 16/ PC-Engine
Wow, great episode guys, well worth the wait. I'm happy to have purchased my component cables back in 2009 when they cost like $70 :)
As for the GameBoy player, I find that the scanline options for the XRGB-Mini does a great job, even if gameboy games never had them since all gameboy hardware used LCD screens.
dudw u have component cables to sell?
Play the GameCube with Component Cables on PVM or HD CRT pls
$7 component cables are why I prefer to play GameCube games on my Wii. I'm not a fan of modding my consoles =\ And I don't use my Gameboy Player enough to justify dropping $200.
Hello! Please could you give me some advice? I want to buy a Wii to play progressive scan Gamecube games; I got a nice, little 20 inches full hd TV with HDMI port. I've heard that the Wii2HDMI converter stretches the 4/3 original ratio of the GameCube games. Is there a way to correct that? Can I adjust the screen ratio with the TV's own menu options? Thanks in advance!!

@Risen General 6 months later however, a lot of people (me included) don’t like to emulate games and would rather play on the original hardware (or pc through steam etc)
This channel rocks, I f'n love the opening and closing music. It's brilliant to have in depth real content from people that are really passionate about it. instead of clickbait from people who treat it like 'just' another job
stellar work as always guys
I skipped the Gamecube when it was one of the current consoles. I focused on my PS2. But friends had it, and I always enjoyed playing it with them. Seeing this episode, and all the games you demonstated, makes me feel as if I really missed out by not having a Gamecube. As you two have helped me get better visuals and sound from my other retro consoles, you're seriously making me consider tracking down and getting into the Gamecube.
Great episode, by the way!
You should do it's got some cracking games and the GBA player is a no brainer
Geek Trunk Gaming get a hacked wii or buy an early model of the Wii which has GameCube accessory ports and hack it yourself get Nintendont and homebrew channel and other stuff you may or may not want
it's not over for carts on home consoles, it was just on hiatus and is on a comback on NX. better tech today makes cartridge games viable again.

You should of mentioned Wii2HDMI. It's not a proper scaler and adds jaggies to Wii titles so preference is on a person to person basis, but it does make the GC tiltes look better for sure. It's generally around $15-$20 online but it also has an external headphone jack for audio out as well. It's a cheap alternative worth looking into for GC on the Wii even if you don't use original discs. Every time I was like "you forgot to mention" it literally happened right away. I did that about 4 times! Great episode guys!
Para-holiX I have one and the quality isn't very good. Video signal is overly bright, and sound is extremely loud and distorted unless you output audio through the 3.5mm headphone jack. I wish the Wii got more love. Hopefully some time soon the Wii can receive something like the EON HDMI adapter for the GameCube. I would be so happy for something like that.
I've personally tested with the Wii2HDMI adaptor and whilst the quality might be a little bit better I came into a few sound and graphical glitches, particularly with Melee, and so I switched back to component.
This is actually the best video I've watched on YT since 06. Outstanding.
Holy Smokes! This provided all the information I needed about Gamecube cables. Thanks! Subbed!
Finally!!!! I've been waiting for weeks for this!!!!
Oh and #Newintroisgreattoo!!!
I have watched hours and hours of these videos and I still play all my games on a composite 14" crt that doesn't even have stereo sound

just wanted to say this is an amazing channel for retro gamers like myself. Please keep up the good work!
That's a great video!! Full of details and really complete!
Thanks a lot! Amazing Job!
I recently got a 480i CRT that has no color or sharpness loss and after hooking my PAL Wii to it via component and I was blown away by my PAL Cube games just in 480i let alone 480P. It's amazing how much detail component brings out, I couldn't believe they were the same copies I played on as a kid.

Nintendon't on Wii U is what I use for my Gamecube games and I love it, pretty much mainly use it now.
Aside from emulating on dolphin, using the WiiU and Nintendont is probably the best option for ease of use and quality compared to GC and component cables. Plus more controller options like the WiiU Pro controller which is awesome for that.
PairUnormal Guys You can even use a PS2 controller as well.

The production quality of this video is outstanding. Great information too!
my favorite system of all time. been waiting for this video for a long time. do dreamcast next.
DatGameCollector Dreamcast is simple to get the best signal from it. It naturally outputs a VGA signal, so if you use the Dreamcast VGA box (I got mine for about $50) you'll get amazing quality video. I was astounded by how incredible the Dreamcast looked over VGA. It truly made all the difference. There IS a new HDMI cable solution for the system, and while it looks miles beyond the standard composite, the VGA box is still notably clearer. Try that out if you have the ability to use VGA. My new TV has VGA on it and I've never seen my Dreamcast look more beautiful.

This was a really cool video! You've earned my subscription!
I love how the Nintendo digital cable is laid out like a Playboy centerfold.
So when I sent my Gamecube in for the digital out version, I actually traded in for an older system... Interesting.
Thank you for saying using a Wii for GameCube 480p display is perferctly fine in your video. I've been arguing that for ages and for at least 5 years now have been perfectly fine with playing GameCube in 480p over the Wii's component cables (and even on an unofficial 480p passthrough HDMI adapter). I know that the GameCube has the GB player but I was never too big on GameBoy games and so I just simply use GB/GBC/GBA emulation on the Wii for my occasional GameBoy fix.
Danny C. Competitive melee players just have a hard-on for expensive peripherals.
+Slater Brazeal Nah, it's more the fact that GameCubes are much simpler and faster to setup in a tournament setting than Wiis.
Danny C. wii component and the gamecube component cable video quality looks the same.
Wow. That intro gave me so much life. In fact, this is even better than High Score on Netflix! Thank you 🙏🏼
Edit: I’ve been playing my GC games on the Wii U thru Nintendon’t and it looks awesome. Very crisp imo
Came back almost 2 years later for a clarification on my retro project (because of this series!) and this series is still #1.
I have a Trinitron Crt TV at home still. Looks good to me.
Sony is the Best CRT TV
Which mode do you play on?
Interlaced or progressive?
Component or S-Video
Justin .Credible Is it an HD or ED CRT so he can make use of progressive Scan Mode
I have the GC component cables, VGA cable, and RGB SCART cable modified from component for NTSC consoles. I had all these three since back when the Gamecube was new and I only just recently found out how expensive these cables have gotten. Funny they've been sitting in a box in my storage for over a decade...
Yes actually, been wanting to sell them but never sold on eBay and a bit scared by it. Interested?
Yes I have PayPal and use it a lot.
Yes.

Can you guys do one on Wii, or the original DS? I'd love that :D
cocoqui Theres really only one way to view DS Games. Thats through an actual ds, dsi, or 3ds. Or a Emulator.
God damn. Your videos are outstanding.. Incredible! So interesting and enjoyable to watch.
Excellent video. At the end of the day, I just opted for the wii component cables playing backward GC compatibly. Nice and easy.
Dear my GameCube,
I love you. Very much. But you don't have a Digital AV Out port. This makes me sad and I'm probably going to sell or trade you, because all I want in life is to play Windwaker and SSX3 in 480p.
Sincerely,
Matthew
P.S. This video was amazing. Thanks so much for putting the work into it. Once I track down an older GameCube, videogameperfection will certainly be getting a chunk of my money.
I guess you don't want a Wii with the component cables?
That's definitely an option. I really like the simplicity of just sticking in a disc and hitting the power button, though. I'm hoping the HDMI out mods will get a little more affordable in the next few years.
Matthew Black What about using GCVideo?
FINALLY thanks:)
I very much enjoyed this video! I've been looking into modding my Gamecube in the future for my HDTV. I used to just play on an old CRT but I'm getting older and my eyes aren't as good anymore so I want to play on a bigger TV. I'm also an electronic engineer so modding myself won't be a problem. I'm just glad options are becoming available besides just paying $200 for Nintendo cables which I am NOT doing. lol
I actually thought the Wii-side looked better in that blind test.
Great video guys!
"The age of cartridges on home consoles, was over." the switch would like to have a word with you...
I use a Wii2HDMI for my Wii. It works pretty well, but I found out the hard way that certain Virtual Console games do not support the Component AV Interlace mode, the mode that converts the 240p to 567i. For now I've just swapped between HDMI and composite cables whenever I want to play one of those problem games. But I'm looking for a more permanent fix. What's really strange is that even the HDMI inputs on my generic SCART scaler and S-video scaler didn't recognize the 240p Virtual console games, and that's despite the fact they it recognized PS1 games output through the PS2 to HDMI adapter! I also found the image to be significantly darkened whenever upscaled through these scalers, whereas the Wii2HDMI on its own had more vibrant colours.
The Wii2HDMI has 1080p printed on it and the box says it upscales to such resolution. But in fact it's just an analog to digital converter without any upscaling. Supposedly, you can activate the upscaling by sticking a straightened paperclick into the little hole on the side, but it does nothing. All I can feel with the paperclick is the other side of the inner plastic casing.
The RGB SCART cable might solve all this, but I can't seem to find the official cable on ebay. I'm not risking my money on a generic SCART cable, they typically have noise in the audio and video. The only company I've trusted with generic SCART cables is Retro Gaming Cables, but they don't sell Wii cables.
How does the DVDO iScan Micro handle 240p and 288p content? Would it work with the Wii2HDMI in outputting Virtual Console games that don't support the component interlace mode? Or is it possible to at least mod the Wii2HDMI so it simultaneously outputs composite AV through its 3.5mm headphone jack?
Jarrah White Actually there are some Wii2HDMI adapters that DO upscale. Mine does, but that adapter is known for having many versions that don't upscale at all, while keeping the "1080p" graphic on the adapter. It all depends on which version you buy. Mine is the Tomsenn version and it has actual 720p and 1080p ouput on it which can be toggled between. I'd show you screenshots but TH-cam doesn't really allow that.
Found Gamecube component cable in a box of old game stuff of my dad's. I remember last year we sold some stuff to a local retro game shop. The owner was very interested in the GC component cable... but my dad changed his mind and decided to keep it.
He past away, so all that stuff is mine.
I'm never selling the component cable!
I have those cables ... where very expensive. It is totally a great experience to play gamecube games. Great video.

As always great show guys!! can´t wait for Dreamcast episode!!
Now I just need a PS2 video. Because Gamecube/XBOX still look good on an HDTV, but PS2 games look horrid!
+Blandrew Yeah, it'll be nice to see 60Gb PS3 vs PS2.
+BladeBlurX I also want them to go back to the TurboGraphix, Neo-Geo, Game Gear (since they ARE covering GameBoy), Sega Saturn, and Sega Dreamcast. Also MAYBE the Wii, but I'm almost positive that the Wii U has better picture for Wii games, at least, from all of the time I've put into each.
Apparently, PS2 looks best when hooked up with packaged PS3 component cables.
*****
I'm really hoping this isn't the case. I just got rid of my PS3 Fat that was backwards compatible with PS2. That thing was sooooo noisy. It sounded like it was getting ready for takeoff. I want to play my PS2 games looking good on an HDTV, but not if I have to listen to that noisey fan. I'd probably take the second best option.
***** Ohhhh....thanks for the clear up. Might just have to order some online. Thanks!
Emulation is a pretty good option if your willing to tinker with the settings. Playing with a 360 controller is weird though.
Other than the occasional frame stuttering I haven't noticed any issues with Dolphin. It's not even a big stutter, just a small one.
You can buy some really awesome USB retro console controllers. I have a USB N64 controller, and it makes emulation so much cooler.
You can buy a port or use the Wii U GCN controller adapter.
Dennis Forstner Using the official Wii U GC adapter with both USB 3.0 ports plugged in is better than using a third-party adapter, because on Dolphin, the dead zones on the left stick are dead-on.
if you have a wii U you can also install the nintendont homebrew to play gamecube games and you can use the wii U gamecube adapter to use proper gamecube controllers :)
Lol i just want you all to know that this channel has given me alot of great feeling like back when i was a kid. i had been waiting all week for it and i woke up today like it was Christmas when i saw the notification with that my life in gaming logo! lol Alas i must wait again.....:) I want my cube modded.
this is a great video. every avenue was covered I love it. I've been playing gamecube games on wiiu for a while now it works like a charm. Also you can play off of a gamepad provided you have your gc controllers hooked up to the actual wii u which is a good option if you want to use headphones
"The age of cartridges on home consoles was over." Nintendo: INTRODUCING THE SWITCH!
It's a shame you wrote off Dolphin as buggy/hiccupy. You guys didn't mention that it's dependent largely on your hardware; my system pretty much never runs into issues running supported Dolphin games. Gamecube emulation is CPU dependent. Would have been good info to be giving people.
+Knots [Try4ce] It's definitely impressive, but even with the dev build and some assistance (on a pretty beefy computer), we saw enough quirks to make us feel like the experience wasn't quite what it should be. But do note that emulation is not our area of expertise or the focus of our show. It's always primarily about what can be done with original hardware, but we do like to mention emulation if there's something interesting about it.
+My Life in Gaming yeah. I figured all of that. it does take a bit of configuration on a per game basis to get desirable results, anyway.
Holly Chan Fuck you.
A great and informative channel. Glad I stumbled upon it.
Sticking with £5 generic RGB Scart cables ive had for years, well as long as my Trinitron CRT keeps working.

You have to be kidding. Dolphin can run Melee at 1080p, 120 fps , and supports online play. It's flawless.
wow, really fantastic video, you guys covered everything.
LOVE the Advance Wars theme for the Gameboy transition
Wow a gamestore near me had component cables selling for only 2.50.................
nice profile pic MISSION COMPREE
I'm sure you mean composite cables.
Starner Nope they were component. I think I would know the difference between the 2.
FENTSKIM888 Might want to buy them all then, since they're only $2.50, which is 1/100 of what they go for.
+FENTSKIM888 maybe for wii
just installed nintendont on my wii u... wii u upscales wii games to 1080p so playing gamecube games on it is the best quality ive seen
Excellent, excellent entry to this series, and well worth the wait! I don't think I've ever been as excited about the GameCube, ha ha. I was waiting for that segment on the GB Player, and was not disappointed with the information presented. I'll look into some of the options mentioned. :)
You know, a few years ago I found three brand new, official Nintendo component cables at a game shop in Japan for 700 yen each, which at that time was about 8 dollars or so. Sadly, I ended up selling them all for $75 or so each a little while later since I needed the cash. Wish I would have kept just one, if only to record portable games, since the Wii option for normal GC games works fine for me.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the D-terminal cable from now on, though...somehow I didn't even think one existed for the GameCube.
+Jimmy Hapa (Import Gaming FTW!) [Try4ce] If your only need for an actual Gamecube is GB Player, I think you might be happy buying a PAL system with RGB cables and homebrew capability.
I loved my gamecube when I was growing up. I ordered the component cable from their online store and still use it till this day. I hook them up to my 65 inch samsung LED tv now. I made sure when I got a new TV back in the day that it had component inputs, and my RCA 27 inch tv did, even though it was 480i, it sill looked great. My dad also had a big 65 inch mitsubishi tv from back in the day, and I would take my gamecube up and play new games on it in 480p. You better believe I played Metroid Prime day on in 480p on my dads big screen. Great video. I would say also about n64 video, that newer tvs, especially higher end tvs, do a much better job at n64 games over composite video. The upscaler on my samsung smart tv looks awesome! When people see it, they can't believe how good n64 games look on it. Much better than my 2008 lcd samsung, which made n64 games look like garbage.
+Paul Anderson [Try4ce] I agree, N64 composite on my Samsung HDTV is (in my opinion) perfectly acceptable. The noise and ugly edges normally associated with composite video is significantly diminished on the N64. On the GameCube though, composite is as ugly as it usually is.
I play gc games on my wii and i play in 480p, problem solved.
My wii has no component cables yet.
Yep, a used Wii is super cheap too.
NY Prince I got mine for 12 quid, which amazingly means that the 20-quid SCART cable I have it hooked up to my CRT with costs more than the console itself.
Eh, the video quality out of the Gamecube's digital out is generally quite a bit cleaner than Wii's, so the Wii sits in the closet and the Wii U and GC are hooked up instead.
@@dalton2k538 It's absolutely marginal, barely recognizable as you can see in this vid. On top of that playing GC games via Nintendont on Wii improves framerates due to the higher clock speed of the Wii hardware.
unfortunately now that I've played mario sunshine at 1080P with antialiasing on dolphin emulator, i just cant play the original.
DW_Drummer well, at least i'm not the only one ;-;
Play in 480p and linedouble to 960p with OSSC and also use an Mclassic Upscaler which has zero Input lag now you should have close to emulator picture
I didn't even know about the alternate Game Boy Player software and SD Media Launcher! Thank you so much for the Codejunkies link! I'll try it out with the GCDual once the mod arrives!
I'm gonna start using my OG Wii for Gamecube games from now on and use HD Retrovision cables too.
