Put off by 2 things though, shipping fee isn't to my liking, and no digital port means the next best thing is S-Video only

I have my GC solely for Resident Evil games!

I wanted to get the GC component cable but since its so expensive, I wonder - if i insert the GC disc in Wii, and use Wii component output to display the GC game, will the effect be the same?

if the "effect" you are talking about refers to Progressive Scan mode then the answer is YES.

btw, make sure your TV can support progressive scan too. Just the cable alone won't be sufficient but i guess there's still a fair bit of improvement over Composite or S-Video.

if you are not too happy about jaggies though ... you might not find it an improvement ! that's because it's just that much sharper output !

i am referring to the "overall graphic display improvement"...

thanks for your advice!!

You mean component vs composite dark? The improvement is quite significant, especially red details

Planing to get 1 since PA Sell the GC dam Cheap.
But the shipping fee charge almost can buy another GC...............Holy Shxx!!!

still waiting some 1 buy together on PA so get the Shipping fee lower....

Better not share shipping, later kastam kacau with such big parcel. The price + shipping still ok lah.. someone selling one used for RM500, plus 10 pirated games

RM500 for second hand GC?? quite expensive for me.
wish him can get some dummy who willing to buy his GC...

and the main point i buying GC is for collection only...

Mod Edit: No pirate talk please.

if u really search hard for 2nd hand in lowyat forum, u can find someone lurking around selling their gcn cheap

suddenly got a question...
For Gamecube, is it can play any region game for Jap/US gamecube..
or it just like the stupid wii can only play their own region game??

Not as stupid as Wii, but still stupid nonetheless

ehh...i still don't get it...
is that mean GC is Stupid but can play any region of game??

Thread pinned and topic subject changed to facilitate discussions for all Nintendo consoles/ handhelds other than Wii/ DS.

I meant it had the region lock but it can be bypassed by a simple Freeloader disc, which Wii also had but disabled after a while.

There's this 2nd hand game shop here in Australia, they do sell Gamecube games (2nd hand though) for as little as $10 I think.
Do you think it's worth buying and keeping even though I don't own a Gamecube.
Just asking for opinions. Thanks.

No game is worth keeping unless you know you can play them BTW I pawn shops were my buddies when I was in Australia

In the UK there used to be (still probably there) a chain called CEx... selling & exchanging used computer & video games systems, accessories and software. My favourite place in all of Oxford Street.

Wish there's something similar in Malaysia, but I guess the easy availability of *ahem* games makes for many gamers who do not value their software collection. Not all of 'em, though.

WTA: What's so good about Killer Instinct? Might be getting one

SNES port or the arcade machine?

Don't really know to be honest. Looks just like an MK clone to me.

SNES port.. No money for the arcade
