The GameCube's internal framebuffer is 4:2:2 YCbCr, so it's either GCVideo converting to RGB or your TV doing it to display the signal.andykara2003 wrote:So in this case a 480p RGB signal will be better than a 480p component signal right?
The factory disc is 480i but GB Interface let's you set what you want.leonk wrote:I actually have a gameboy player but I never actually tried it out!!
So the player is always 240p?
I meant in the context of consoles where the only choices are 480i and 480p, such as the original xbox. If there's 240p available (even for just a few games), I'd like a 240p RGB SCART option as well.leonk wrote:RetroRGB kind of touched on this in his last podcast and I was wondering about this as well, why would anyone want RGB out from a console that is capable of outputting 480p?
Awesome, so all options are covered! Yes, RGB would most commonly be used for the GBi, or people who use Swiss to force 480i games to 240p (I actually prefer to do that on monitors that don't support 480p).citrus3000psi wrote: I have a pioneer PDP V402 which takes 480p RGB. You will be able to output CSync or H/V. So VGA monitors will work. I'd imagine most people will be using RGB for the GBA addon.
It will output both Component and RGB.
You will be able to choose which output via the OSD or a master input pin. I plan on building a component cable that will plug into the multiout that will trigger this pin and force component mode.
SDTVs don't support 480p. Even those with YPbPr component input.leonk wrote:RetroRGB kind of touched on this in his last podcast and I was wondering about this as well, why would anyone want RGB out from a console that is capable of outputting 480p?
I don't believe most commonly used RGB display devices support 480p RGB input (PVM or XRGB). So a gamer will need to either play in 480i or 240p. Right?
The HDMI port of course will be 480p and be optimal video quality output.
Oh okay. Thank youExtrems wrote:Their colorspace is defined by their screens. Standard GBI performs adaptation from GBA to sRGB by default.
Yep 480p. But also 240p! which is great for GB, GBC and GBA games IMO. Everyone have their preferences, but to me the Gameboy games look better with scanlinesleonk wrote:oh. so the player can be forced into 480p like some of the GC games?
We have some in Europe that do.theclaw wrote:SDTVs don't support 480p
Use whichever is most suitable for what you're looking to do, but analog formats can be driven with twice the resolution for scaling transparency and equivalent of 4:4:4. I haven't done the latter yet.GeneraLight wrote:So which output would yield the best results for GBI: YPbPr, RGB or HDMI?

There is no flex cable. Let me outline how this works.leonk wrote:I'm really glad to see all the recent love towards the Nintendo Gamecube. Based on my personal experience with installing the GCVideo mod into consoles for customers, here's my dream wish list for a better solution than the standard Pluto IIx one:
- much like the current solution, I would like to see a no-cut solution. The 3D printed PCB holder with digital port to hdmi plate looks very clean and professional. Case modification tends to be the most time consuming part of any HDMI/RGB mod for me these days. This will also allow a customer to swap the outer shell in the future if they ever wish to.
- if RGB out is an option, allow output into the nintendo multiAV port. Make the rgb and sync levels equivalent to what a standard snes puts out (so users can reuse the same scart rgb cables)
- the ribbon cable is not as big a deal for me as I would have thought. Standard install is 18 wires. Not that more than a fully populated NESRGB. If ribbon cable is a bottleneck for production(badass consoles!) then skip it.
Apart from that, I think we have a pretty mature and solid solution!

You could use Goomba Color, but mGBA recently gained partial SGB support.GeneraLight wrote:Since GBI isn't capable of displaying SGB borders or colors, would it be possible to edit GB[C] ROMs to have those features enabled when playing on GBA hardware?
Much like how Shantae and the Oracle Zelda GBC games work on a GBA.
