I see other people asking questions, and not just making topics to discuss gadgets

 

I see said it is possible to simply hook up a gamecube to a newer high def tv. that you just need to use the red and white (component? cable?) I've seen it said put the yellow in the green.

I am told my system is broken by a family member that used their red and white into the tv's red and white for a vcr. their son told me that he did the same easily for a nintendo 64(or maybe it was the SNES) with no problem.

 

I was asked if I had it on the right setting.

 

I read some pages. and it dosen't seem to work. and I said it might not work. and that is when I was told my machine might just be broken.

 

I see on line, it is possible, I see people say they have done it. there are videos I forget if I watched. there are people say it dosen't work and anyone wanting to play them needs the old backwards compatible WII(rvl 001?). or the discontinued cables.

 

so there is no adapter?

 

you can use my topic to ask others about things like this when my facts come. it's been 8 days since I asked on Yahoo Answers.

The GameCube uses composite cables. These output things in "Standard definition". If you have seen an HD GameCube game on YouTube or somewhere, it is likely being run on an emulator. I don't think the GameCube's native hardware can upscale to true HD resolutions without some sort of hardmod, but I'm not 100% sure about that. The GameCube, SNES, and N64 can all use the exact same composite cable too (at least, in the US). If you play a GameCube game on a Wii, with component cables, it may be a little clearer, but the resolution will still only be 480i. 480p is possible with some Wii Games however.

 

This page is pretty interesting too, and explains pretty much everything in great detail about this subject.

it's just that is what I have now. as my other tv kind of went. I was given a Hi def, (anyway) even though I did rerember the color and screen quallity was languashing (I tried to play a ps2 game on the previous tv and it color was washed out, fuzzy and smeared playing Okami looked like when you get something you printed out on the computer printer wet)

 

so I was wondering if I could at all hook up the GC to Vizo d24-d1

If this is the TV you are talking about, it says it has component, but no composite, so you will either have to play the GameCube games on a Wii (which does have component cable support), or buy a composite to HDMI converter or something like that. I looked at the picture of the back of the TV on the site, and you can't use the yellow/ red/ white cables with that TV, as is. Red and White are audio. Composite video is the yellow cable. Component video cables split the picture into three color cables (the red, blue, and green next to the audio on the back of your set). I just looked, and they did actually make a component cable for the gamecube, but they are expensive cause they are rare, so an aftermarket converter might be better. This stuff is pretty easy to look up, and you might get a faster answer then you would here. ;)

someone told me the converter won't work and is not a thing. that "it's for audio only"

My Vizio TV works find with older consoles I have not tried my GCN though. When I hooked up my NES before I get getting a "Video not detected" error but after going to my TV setting and changing the resolution to a low setting it worked fine. But I used the same old A/V cables I used on my old primitive TVs.
