gamecube component cables
kingjohn3:
as i was going through a box of stuff i found a set of component cables in with the gc. Theyre monster cables and fit perfectly in the slot in the back. I can only find info on Nintendo brand component, s-video and composite for gc. Does anyone know if Monster made these for gc and is it possible that these would fit another system?
larryinc64:
What slot does it fit in to? There is a special Component slot on the NGC.
Maybe a picture would help?

iirc, only Nintendo made a GC component video cable which is because the cable itself does some of the image processing, hence why they're so expensive.
edit: did some research, there is NO aftermarket GC component cable. The chipset was proprietary in the OEM cable, so it would've been a HUGE bitch to make a knockoff. What you have is either not component or not for the GCN.

Exactly! That is why those first party cables demand an insane price nowadays.
