HD retrovision (component) cables
TDIRunner:
I'm still thinking about it. They need to average $225/day to make it which seems possible.
If I do it, I'm also thinking about the three cable package. One for my SNES, one for my Genesis (model 2) and one for my Master System. All of my switch boxes take component, so it would be a very simple plug and play for me.
If they make it long term, I wonder if they might be able to reverse engineer a component cable for the GameCube. Maybe even include digital optical audio.

I'd be super excited for a cheap GC component cable, even though my Wii is basically giving me the same thing due to the backwards compatibility. Why are they so expensive anyway?

Special chip inside cable that nobody has managed (or bothered) to reproduce.

Likely this. There isn't a large enough market, by a LONGSHOT.

It has already been cloned.
