WTB Gamecube Component Cable

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I'm looking for a set of Gamecube component cables to connect to an HDTV. Would rather not spend a fortune, but I might be willing to do a trade. Let me know!

I've been looking for one of these for over three years now. If you come across two, let me know... hehe... one for you and one for me :)

Jeez, those things are expensive. Is that a standard jack on the gamecube? If it is, I'll make a few myself.

Not real familiar with high-tech or kinda new audio visual stuff.

It actually works very odd. The cable has a chip in it that converts the gamecubes digital signal into component. You can't make one. A cheap solution is to purchase a japanese d connector. It's like a little HDMI-ish jack, but instead of hdmi, it's component. You can just lop off the end, look up the pinout, and wire it to RCA jacks.

The early GameCubes have a digital AV out and an analog AV out on the back. The digital AV out cable is the one that's hard to find.

Here is a high-resolution picture showing the back of my GameCube so you can see what the jack looks like (digital on the left).

I also have one I might be willing to part with if your other deal falls through.

If anyone has a dog/cat/vacuum cleaner chewed one, I'd be interested in parts so I can figure out how to make my own. I'd like to see that chip in there; I have a component out GC also.
