Thor. Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I managed to get i the wii playable on a 42 inch tv with this nifty cable, Its S video but it does up sample to 480P :thumbsup: something like this http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/catalog...#detailed_image better then that crappy av cable thats for sure.

Thor. Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Since when did they release that, man i'm out of touch with this stuff, the last time i checked they had component for 80$ on there home page, to many complaints i guess, and hard to find as well.

ResidentWeevil2077 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 They released that about the same time they released the Wii :) And don't worry, I know how overlooking something is - you tend to be more focused on the search for something and overlook what might be right in front of you. :P Anyway, I hope that helps. ^^ EDIT: Crap, I overlooked this cable (it's here too) for $10 less. It's from Rocketfish and might be better than Nintendo's own cable, but it depends on how much you wanna spend or if you prefer official accessories over cheaper non-official ones.

Thor. Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hmm will it work with the GC as well, i see why not, its funny i have both. I guess i could give away the gc, might get two cables if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentWeevil2077 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It should, being that the connections are the same on both consoles. Although I don't see see why, the Wii is backwards compatible with GCN games and accessories :) Then again I can't play my GBA games on the Wii since the Game Boy Player doesn't work with Wii :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hmm i also have a snes and a N64 :biggrin: , oh that would fantastic if it worked with the snes, i wonder since they are pretty much the same when it comes to video cable. its worth a try.

ResidentWeevil2077 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Actually no... The SNES, N64, and GCN have a different connection :( The GCN is the only one that has the same connection as the Wii, as well as the older connection present on the SNES and N64. So the component cable that they make will only work with a GCN or Wii, not previous consoles Nintendo has released. Which sucks :(:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
