RGB Scart Lead for Gamecube

[speedlolita]

Did you post in this thread Speedo? - http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51450

It appears there is not a significant difference between GCN and Wii component as long as you use a decent Wii cable.

Yeah I posted in that thread.

I've always read that there was, and assumed that people making the comparison were using an official Wii component cable. Skimming through that thread, I can't see any comparisons being made. Did I miss something?

Maybe it was this thread? http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=51789

I was intentionally exaggerating a little bit with my wording above though... Low quality bait and all that.

It might well have been. One of the guys involved did say that you would be hard pushed to tell the difference side-by-side especially ingame
It needs to be considered also that in a side by side test then the display is not optimised for both systems.
I was mentioned that the GCN has a slightly higher voltage output which would result in a brighter image but once the display was calibrated it is negligible.

Slightly off topic but does anyone know whether an RGB scart lead will give a better picture on the Wii than a component cable?

A component cable will give a better image provided the TV you're using is progressive scan compatible (any HDTV should be, only some CRTs have this feature).

[speedlolita]

The software has to be compatible too!

But I think most Wii games support progressive scan - more accurately 576p (PAL) or 480p (NTSC). SCART will be limited to 576i/480i tops.

RGB via CRT looks better than component via HD on Wii. Wii is just SD full stop.

[speedlolita]

Indeed but if you don't have a CRT then component is preferable of course.

[nakamura]

Yes absolutely.

The only Wii game I know of that doesn't support prog scan is Trauma Centre Second Opinion - are there others?

[nakamura]

Hmmm doesn't it? Can I get a second opinion on that?

Kororinpa is 480i only

Thanks guys, component it is.

Is there any difference in quality between PAL analog RGB and NTSC digital RGB?

http://retrorgb.com/gamecubecompare.html Possibly a slight sharpness increase on the NTSC scart lead with DAC.

Madworld is 480i only as well, not even that, IIRC the pal version only runs at 50hz...
