gcvideo - Open source GameCube component cable solution

GCVideo-Lite, the very first version I released that only outputs analog video and SPDIF audio, can be set to output either RGB or YPbPr (*) with a single jumper.

That should work fine if you don't need 480p. If you do, you'll have to use the CSync output from the GCVideo lite board because the outputs of the original AV encoder shut down when the Gamecube is in 480p mode. For 15kHz modes the existing sync-carrying signals on the analog AV port are fine, so connecting just the RGB lines is sufficient.

(*) Nitpicker here: YCbCr is a digital signal, YPbPr is analog

I don't see much need for it since all non-mini Wiis are RGB-capable when the system is set to PAL mode, but if someone really feels a dire need for an FPGA-based RGB output for his Wii and doesn't mind a bit of challenging solder work involving 0.5mm TQFP pins this can easily be arranged.

 

Buy a PAL Wii for RGB output, it would be easier.

 

Or just softmod a NTSC wii and region change it. Its all done based on software. You can force RGB PAL in some homebrew (loaders etc) or region change the whole console and it will work in RGB.
