Retro-Bit Retro Prism Component Cable for Gamecube

My cables came packaged neatly in a translucent reflective bag. The quality of the material is very solidly built and fits in the GCN port very snugly and secure and keep in mind also, you will need a gen 1 GameCube that has the digital AV out port. The picture on games that support 480p:(progressive scan) you will notice that visual difference on your modern tv display. The two biggest being draw-distance clarity and visual sharpness of letters and characters blurriness is completely removed compared to using the stock cables. on the ones that do not support 480p but regular 480i (interlaced), the image quality is still improved mostly letters and menus seem more legible to read; however, the game's will seem unpolished compared to the latter. This isn't the cables fault but the game(s) on GCN that do not support the progressive scan resolution. The audio on my set of cables seems to be working as intended for me; however, be aware others have had problems such as incorrect audio timing where the sound seems to be offset to what you see happening on the screen or incorrectly color swapped plugs where ones supposed to be the other plug. luckily i have not come across these issues with my set of cables, but will repost if i do. and could just be me but i also felt that input latency was improved a lot over stock cables If you were to use these in combination some sort of upscaler its another leap in quality entirely, but on their own they still really good. highly recommend.

I was skeptical about a $60 for a cord from the last millennium and all, but this thing delivers. No issue at all with my modded ngc. Beautiful crystal clear output. For my exact setup, this cord is GG. (sony xbr-910) My only gripe is that the cord goes from robust, flexible 6mm rubber to flimsy 1.5mm wire for the last 100mm to the leads. Doesn't matter at all, just a nitpick. 9/10 great.

At first I was on the fence about ordering these component cables for the price but I ended up deciding to go with it. I’m currently using a Retrotink 4k going into an OLED tv. What a difference these component cables made over the composite cables. The picture looks great, the colors look amazing, I might even argue that this looks better than using a CRT. If you have a decent setup with an upscaler I would say go ahead and order these cables. If you have a CRT tv in good working order you may not benefit a whole lot from switching to an hdtv without a good upscaler

I tried this with two separate TVs ... no video at all (only audio). This is honestly sad. If you have a Wii with GC backwards compatibility, you'll probably have a better time going that route. If you're trying to use the GameBoy Player ... well, there's HDMI adapters, and S-VIDEO is honestly not too bad. Update: after borrowing a friends GC, and trying the cables on their console, they suddenly worked normally. I moved them back over to my DOL-001, and all is good now. Not sure why it is so flakey, but that said, the image quality is a nice step up over composite. If you have a TV with component, this is probably the most straight forward approach to get 480p out of a GameCube.

Finally, a YPBPR component cable for the GameCube that’s easily available and for an affordable price too! This may be a third party product, but it works really well with my GameCube and HDTV with component inputs. The connection is solid, it doesn’t feel cheap, the games look and sound really good (and look so much better than if it was connected via AV composite cables/inputs). If you have a TV that has YPBPR component inputs and want better picture quality and sound with your GameCube games, I highly recommend this component cable.

Worked fine an image looked great. Remember to hold B on controller1 when booting your Gamecube so it knows to load into progressive scan mode. I was not able to get an image in default interlaced mode with this cable, though my sample size of monitors was 1. Your mileage may vary.

These third party component cables work better than I thought. They provide an even better video signal than composite, especially on a CRT that supports component video.

purchased this cable for my GameCube, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The screen constantly doubles, the image jitters, and everything appears in a distorted pink color. It’s completely unusable for gameplay. I expected better quality.

lo compre por ser una cómoda solución al caro y original cable de componentes de gamecube, y esperaba una calidad mejor a la del kaico hdmi adapter... pero no fue así hice la comparación con ambos y el cable de componentes me daba imagenes mas granuladas y pequeñas aparte que alguna áreas por alguna razón se veían mas obscuras de la nada, sin embargo el adaptador hdmi de kaico me mostraba el juego bien y con los colores que tienen que ser. una segunda prueba fue con el GBA en este resulto ser igual que con juegos de gamecube el adaptador de componentes mostraba los juegos aun mas pixelados de lo que son y en una resolución mas pequeña los colores se veían bastante obscuros y cuando cambiaba de áreas algunas se mostraban bastante mas obscuras, sin embargo con el adaptador de hdmi kaico eso no pasaba los colores se mantenían igual aparte que de la imagen se via mas grande y menos pixelada siendo bastante mas fiel aa lo que se ve en una GBA se podría decir que era como compara el cable de componentes como si fuera un GBA SP AGS-001 y el de kaico el GBA SP AGS-101 en cuanto a colores ahora la ventaja mayor que tiene sobre el kaico hdmi adapter ... NO TIENE LAG NI CAMBIOS DE RESOLUCION ... si usas el otro lo notas en el momento cuando ponees juegos como resident evil 4 donde cuando entras y sales a ver tu menu se pone la pantalla negra mas tiempo puedes apuntar correr y tu personaje se teletrasnporta osea hay segundos donde no puedes ver lo que pasa.... entonces este cable de 5 colores como se mantiene seimepre en 480p sin modificar nada no tiene ese lagg puedes ver todo en tiempo real a costa de calidad visual recomiendo este producto.. si claro que si (aparte de que es mas varato que un cable original de nintendo) por que por el hecho que en un juego es mejor no tener ese lagg en los cambios de resolución aunqnue la calidad grafica que ofrece si mucho mas baja que la del dhmi adapter de kaico

Doet precies wat de originele component kabels doen maar dan voor minder dan 400 euro.

Funktioniert einwandfrei mit meinem japanischen GameCube. Qualitativ genauso gut wie das Original von Nintendo, außer das man kein zusätzliches Audiokabel am analogen Port benötigt, was einen grossen Vorteil darstellt.

Erano mesi che lo aspettavo, ma è andata male... A quanto pare quello che mi è arrivato faceva parte dei primi lotti difettosi: l'audio a volte va, a volte no e i cavi left e right sono invertiti. Informandomi ho scoperto che hardware usato è quasi identico a quello di bitfunx, c'è un ragazzo su twitter (@Extrems) che ha smontato entrambi. Entrambi hanno copiato il progetto open source gcvideo di ikorb, senza migliorie significative. Si può ignorare il difetto e usare l'ingresso analogico per le uscite audio, ma a cosa server avere un cavo componente da 64 euro che non può essere usato completamente? Comunque su reddit e youtube ci son recensioni di clienti con problemi uguali o simili (ad alcuni l'audio va a scatti). Il cavo componente originale nintendo costa tra i 200 e i 300 euro e la cosa interessante è che non ha le uscite audio, ha solo uscite video. A sto punto preferisco il cavo componente dello SNES di HD retrovision che è compatibile col gamecube PAL. Saluti

El cable es grueso, su construcción parece de buena calidad. He podido probarlo durante 3 días ya y el audio no me ha dado problemas como a otros compañeros; la imagen perfecta incluyendo mostrar el progresivo. Totalmente recomendado si lo tuyo es jugar con el hardware original de la mejor manera posible y no necesitas el HDMI; si necesitas HDMI lo mejor es comprar el Prism HD también de Retro-Bit.
