In this video I will show you how to get the best image quality out of your Nintendo GameCube, using HDMI. Your games will never have looked better.

If you use a device like the Hauppauge HD PVR 2, it will also allow you to easily capture game footage with crystal clear quality.

In the event you're looking into SCART options for the GameCube, there are three scart types that should be addressed in the description so that some players aren't disappointed.

1. A scart adaptor - this is not scart - It is simply AV cables in an RCA to scart connection adaptor.
2. A regular scart lead. This is the same as above but with an actual (7 pin) scart connection. Quality wise, it's still just an AV cable.
3. RGB Scart - this is the true high quality scart. Usually 21 pin.

RGB SCART will work best with the following consoles:

Atari Jaguar
Atari Jaguar CD
Nintendo Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) [original model only]
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis (Mega Drive)
Sega CD (Mega CD)
Sega 32X
Sega Saturn
Sony Playstation (1)
SNK Neo Geo AES
SNK Neo Geo CD

This will not work with anything older such as the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Nintendo Entertainment System, Colecovision, Famicom etcetera.

Some notable exceptions that do not work because of the limits of the console itself:

Nintendo 64 (unless modded)
Super Nintendo Jr (unless modded)
3DO (any model, Panasonic, Goldstar etcetera)
NEC Turbografx 16 (works with devices like the AV Engine Block)
PC Engine (works with devices like the AV Engine Block)
Sega Pico

In case you're curious, SCART is also not worth applying to consoles from the Dreamcast onward as they have more advanced methods of video display. Using this on these consoles will result in a loss of image quality. These consoles include:

Sega Dreamcast
Nintendo GameCube (obviously HDMI mods prove best here)
Nintendo Wii (not including the Wii Mini)
Nintendo Wii U
Nintendo Switch
Microsoft XBox
Microsoft XBox 360
Microsoft XBox One (S and X)
Sony Playstation 2
Sony Playstation 3
Sony Playstation 4 (And Pro)
