WTB: Gamecube Component Cable

[dmcnelly]

Basically looking for a CGN Component Cable for a someone decent price. Not looking to do any mods, just need something to hook up to the HDTV for optimal picture quality.

Ebay wants $100, Amazon wants $100+, it's kinda obnoxious. Just looking if someone has one they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price, not a 200% markup on a used part. Not sure that'll happen, but it's worth a shot.

I was looking at those, but the GC doesn't output the Component signal via the normal video port, so I'd only get composite video.

I'll probably wind up getting an S-Video cable instead, if I can't find the Component cable for less than the cost of a new transmission.

how bout you open it up, and add your own ports for component, then just get component to component cables

Or it could have proprietary chip inside that decodes the signal, and he knows he needs the actual cable.

If I could, I totally would, however, as vskid3 said, there's a decoder chip inside that won't allow me to do that without having the cable in the first place. :X (I could try and snag a D Terminal cable for the chip, but looking on eBay there, it's even MORE uncommon. Grrr.)

I spent a week a good 6 or 7 hours digging over the course of a week one time.

I ended up finding a component cable at an online store for 45 bucks

I still have the precious and I'm saving her for my underground gamecube project.

So yeah, be patient, look around online, dig dig dig!!! Its worth it.

I think lyberty5 (pretty sure that's the correct username) mentioned knowing a site you could get them for $35, albeit in France, but I think it had free shipping. You may try sending him a PM.
