Let see the retron 5 first. Lol
Arseen:
Side tracking a bit.

They should really make HDMI cable for GameCube.
It already outputs digital signal (the older models with the second output) so maybe making HDMI cable for that would not be too hard?
Composite cables are expensive because the cable has to turn the digital signal to analog, so maybe HDMI cable would be cheaper option?

After doing some searching and clicking some links I found Adam Koralik on Youtube.

Very informative about console signals and cables. Basicly, all those people that say there is no way to make old games look good on an HDTV without emulation are full of shit.
Blaasvis:
Well you are completely right.
In general you can upscale any RGB signals for HDTV. However you will introduce some lag.
But this is the case with every HDTV. However i do not even notice it.

I am myself using a XRGB-mini from japan connected to a sony KDL-40EX500 and it looks awesome.
This little device can also upscale composite/s-video and component.
Which connects with HDMI to my TV and output 720P signal.

However this is an expensive solution.
