WOOT COMPONENT CABLEZ!!!

Post by **RyaNtheSlayA** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 9:32 pm

I found a 3rd party company that was selling component cables for Xbox and Gamecube for 10 bux. And being the HD freak I am I picked them up, the name of the company is I&S. The cables work perfectly and are a godsend for my HDTV inputs.

Wait what? Gamecube? When did this happen? I thought only Nintendo had the means of creating component cables for Gamecube, because of some kind of lockout chip in the connector. Or to be specific, I read that only first party cables could enable 480p on Gamecube.

I know thats what I thought but I saw these sitting on the shelf of the retro game place and I asked if I could test them then bring them back if I wanted a refund and they said yes and it looks really good.

Well if you actually get 480p on them, by holding B while starting most games, let us know what happens. Smash Bros, F-Zero, Wind Waker, and Viewtiful Joe all severely benefit from 480p, so try one of those.

I only have NFS U for 480p and it looks damn good, not great, but definately better.

You actually saw a screen that said "Do you want to enable progressive scan?" And you hit yes and the screen still displayed?

I am also skeptical...is this cable the all-in-one component cable for Xbox, PS2 and GC? If so, the GC part isn't component, even though sellers may claim it is.

I still don't believe it. I feel like this cable would have made the news at some point if it actually did 480p without Nintendo's consent.

Believe it or not, there were actually MONSTER brand component cables for the Cube~
