Nintendo GameCube HDMI - The EON GCHD MKII Review | MVG 

00:50 this is what peak performance looks like

0:50 made me spit my coffee out! Great video as usual. I think I'll grab one of these for my GCN.

Another thing to note is that it includes a JTAG connector for firmware updating. Pretty nifty device

Awesome review on this, my guy. I picked up the original earlier this year, although it looked nice I wish it did have more for the $150 price tag. This looks to be everything people were asking for and more at the same price, I'd definitely nab this model if I didn't already have one on hand.

F-Zero GX still looks stunning to this day...

The quality of your videos is pretty awesome. I was genuinely surprised when I saw that you didn’t have millions of subscribers. You are good with the camera and very knowledgeable. Love the channel!

As always really respect your unbiased reviews of products when you get them them for free/for review. Keep up the awesome work MVG!

I just recently picked up gcn after not having one since i sold it when the wii launched. These kinds of videos are very helpful as i dive back in, so thank you. I'm currently using composite and i can tolerate it, but having a 4ktv means every little improvement is huge, so I'd prefer to maximize quality. Thank you again, and keep up the great work!

Love that this has the audio out too! $150 a little steep... but this is obviously a little niche device. Great coverage as always mate.

I ordered a Carby yesterday after the My Life in Gaming video. I look forward to being able to easily capture from my favorite console.

As always a great video. I love your video's while I'm not a gamer. Last week I had to make a review video about RecalBox on a new SBC. The RockPi4B. I had never played N64, PSP, NES, SNES, ... I actually did not enjoy playing all those games. Only games I'm used playing are racing games. All the others I truly didn't know what I had to do. My video will be online by the end of the week. I've got to wait until RecalBox is released. My favorite game was F1 Championship on the N64. PSP also worked great on the RockPi4B, I was amazed by that. Thanks for the great content, greetings, NicoD

I really enjoy your channel. Keep going with your awesome projects too.

Loved a look into your workout routine 😍

Man Twilight Princess, F Zero GX, Star Wars, Metroid Prime, Star Fox and Mario Sunshine still look great game until these day and I love playing it via Dolphin to get 1080p or 4K.

Another fantastic and professional video...thank you.

More videos about gamecube!!

Same here bought mine from Lik'San as well years back. Now it's worth gold. As well man what did I buy tons of dreamcast parts from them back in the day. Good times. Great Video as usual! Really need to get me an GCHD or similar soon.

Man I love your videos !! I had learn a ton out of your videos man Keep up the good work and by the way GameCube is one of my favourite consoles of all time the switch is in my number one!

Love your work mate. Thank you.

I have this on my 480p EDTV Plasma and it’s amazing.

The best channel ever. Information is endless .

Mate you have a sick set up in the background

I bought my component cables for my GC at EB games back in the day, they were 39.99. I just recently discovered that I owned them when I opened my gamecube box up to put the memory cards back in the box. Boy was I surprised. Past Me was on top of things lol

I like how Grover is just sitting there, watching you play the GameCube at 3:13

Great review!

That's a nice piece of kit. If I still had a GC I would definitely want one!

I never considered myself a hard gamer, yet I find myself binging your videos.

I use the like button to mark the videos I watched. Cheers MVG :)

My capture card has a color bleed issue that I finally realized when I bought this thing. My OSSC was counteracting the problem by being able to multiply the resolution but in the case of the GCHD it's a lot more notable.

Haha you crazy Aussie, I never knew you could do some exercise with gamecubes. Anyway, I like your videos of their topics. It always interests me. Keep it going mate!

0:50 subbed, liked, and favorited for that dance.

You have earned my sub 👍😎

Wow that call back to LikSang brought back some memories.

Hi, awesome video :) but I'm wondering, what about input lag? is there any noticiable input lag?

Wow - I had no idea it was that rare. Like you I bought the component cable way back then and being a regular Lik-Sang customer maybe from there as well. Still have it somewhere.

Thanks. You just saved me a bunch of money. I still have my original GameCube component cable

One of the best youtube channels!

Lmfao that clip at 0:50 was perfection mate!

You should do a video on CEMU. I don't know what it is, but your style of videos would be amazing for a video about that emulator, even though you mainly focus on retro-ish games. BOTW at 4k 60fps hacked is godly.

I ordered one of those component cables from Nintendo back in the day, for my 16:9 HD CRT. Unfortunately, it immediately went on backorder and then unavailable, so I never got one. I remember hesitating, because I thought the original price of $25-$30 was expensive back then. Even though I have a modded Wii U, there is benefit in getting one of these for Game Boy Player and GBA connector compatibility.

Good video. Will there be a wii video like this in the future?

Does an HDMI adapter make sense when using a PAL Gamecube, since the games just run run in 576i? And does the adapter eliminate combing artefacts caused by the conversion from interlaced to progressive on LCD TVs?

Nice Yamahas man, I've got the bigger models on my studio/desktop.

Out of curiosity, when you showed the clip of Twilight Princess' intro, was that the pal version running in 50hz? I ask because the audio sounded off, like a bit slower and lower pitched than what I'm used to always hearing.

F-Zero looked amazing on the GC

Has this been tested with the elgato HD 60S?? I Would love to stream using this method, but i'm not sure if the compatibility is there.

That Panasonic dude. I am sooo jealous! What a machine!

Issa yes for me DAWG (great video)

I need an HDMI solution for my face.

I actually use the last revision of Zeldaxpro's original GC hdmi adapter, works like a charm.... still want this one though, just looks nicer and I like how sturdy it is

Wait, there wasn't any Gamecube with built in sandwich maker? :( Nice video, i really likes your reviews. My life in Gaming did a video about the same topic on the same time and with your video it's amazing what kind of a picture I got as a consumer do buy a hdmi solution for my Gamecube. One last thing, there is a HDMI Cable for the xbox classic out from mascarry, it works very well and maybe you are quite interested to get one of these.

Seems like a stellar offering and great upgrade from the original for streaming. I will say the Carby is the better buy IMO if you just want to hook up the gamecube via HDMI to a modern TV for sure. I will say this and could be youtube or my monitor, but the official component cables seemed to have more detail vs the HDMI when done side by side. Now to be fair it is very minuet, and you would have to be really trying to split hairs. I would say for the absolute best picture go for the official component cables if money is no big deal and your not worried about TV's no longer having component hook ups. However, for damn near the same thing, less money, and somewhat future proof hook up (compared to component cables) the modern GCHD or Carby are the way to go hands down, and to be honest the slight detail increase in the component cables don't justify the price or lack of future ease of access for me at least.

Price is still too high for me. I’ll stick with my Wii with component cables. My GameCube always had problems with certain games anyway, even when I was a kid.

I really liked thia video! More gamecube FTW :D!

Nice informative video. Is the bump in pal image quality worth the purchase price considering the progressive scan option was locked on pal region software?

Love the dance Lol, love that Panasonic Q even more though. I still regret not investing in one.

your setup looked better with the ultrawide. you should bring it back, and use that 4k panel as topmounted

Here in Canada, they actually sold those component cables at retail. They were in a local Royal Canadian Superstore, where I bought my GameCube network adaptor. Unfortunately I never bought the component cables as back then I was still using an old CRT without that input, and I parted ways with the network adaptor which I got on sale at one point for $1.

I just received my GC HD Mk II from GameStop of all places as everybody else was out of stock or price gouging. Now I am keeping an eye out for a reasonably priced brand new DOL-001 console. Already have a couple games. Metroid, XIII, Star Wars.....

I noticed some audio delay on the Metroid Prime 2 segment of the video. Is audio delay persistent with the HDMI adapter? Also, shoutouts to using the Analogue Super NT/Mega SG HDMI cable there.

Since the price is already high, it would be interesting to see how this looks with the Marseille Inc. mCable for some post processing.

Just got one today and I cannot believe the difference. Great video but it's impossible to put I to words how much of a difference this thing makes.

Is there anyway to remove the black square around the image or scale it to the edge of the display? Wii, GC or Wii U? So far from what I've seen most don't hit fullscreen although I think my soft modded wii might with the right settings in nintendont.

What interests me as an European the most: Does it also work on PAL Consoles or is it NTSC only? Another thing I don't quite understand is how do you switch between progressive scan and interlaced mode? I know that the Wii gives you the option of choosing between an HD TV 480p or regular 480i output, but I don't remember the GameCube having that same options available in the settings menu?

Just received my adapter after weeks of waiting. Is there any recommendation for the hdmi cable that you should use, so HDMI 1.4 or 2.0.....? Does it really matter?

The digital out port was originally not for component output, but rather a custom 3D screen.

Absolutely a nice video. Go into a boxing ring with those gamecube "gloves"!

00:50 You can also use Gamecube to keep you in good health condition :-)

more and more I need to build my own GCvideo board... I already had boards printed, ordered all the components... I just need the TIME to build it...

Wow, I remember lik-sang!!!! I bought mine off Kijiji. Some dude in a small town about 10 hour drive away was selling em for 10bucks. i asked if he'd ship at my expense, he did... yay!

I liked the video because of the GameCube boxing gloves bit, it was a delightful inclusion.

Do you have to hold in the B button every time you start the gamecube with the GCHD? I have component cables and I get automatically prompted when I power on without holding the B button; I am looking into getting a GCHD, but I don't want one if it doesn't automatically prompt.

The biggest reason for someone like me to get this is to use it with GameBoy Interface and a CRT. It’s a niche audience, but it’s great for people who want the best picture possible for GameBoy games on an analog TV. Hopefully in the future this goes down in price then I can enjoy using it with my Trinitron.

Wait, so to stream on PS4, I need an HDMI splitter, or can I just link my Twitch?

I bought the GCHD-MK2 when I was rebuilding my console collection and chose it over the Carby for two reasons, neither being the price: Feature list and that it looked like a more professional product to me. Having the Wii RCA/Component as an option as well as having an optical audio jack were things that the Carby just didn't have when I was shopping around.

Have you tried using the mCable with this?

Love the little dance haha

am I imagining this or is the image from the original GC Component Cable slightly sharper?

I wonder how the new Carby component cables stack up against the original component cables

When you do progressive scan mode using nintendont on Wii U does it look better than original wii playing GameCube natively with progressive. And how does this hdmi GameCube option compare visually. I have all 3 systems to play GameCube and trying to find the best visual option besides the expensive component cable for GameCube.

Hi, can you make a video of the best HDMI converters for the PS2 ??? I have a Fat model and i just already installed OPL and bought a product that let me conect mi PS3 controller via bluetooth but i want to squeeze the best image quality posibble. I've been following your work and clearly you are pretty good. Many thanks for your hard work, you got a lot of fand in Peru 🙌🏻💥

I have a component cable, but I think it's for the Wii. But if I remember right, it seems like I could never really see any big difference in video quality. But that was so long ago that I might have just forgot. My new 4K TV doesn't even have component cable plugs on the back. Only composite.

Dude them GameCube punches were great!

This is by far the best and most in-depth review on the GameCube hdmi modding scene! Thanks again for the amazing videos :D

How do you know if 480p mode is on ? It says to hold b but nothing happens

Could you compare the GCVideo with the Wii U's HDMI output + Nintendont?

For me, the wiiu and nintendont with the GameCube controller adaptor is the best option.

is there any input lag?? and does it work with the gameboy adapter??

Nice video

I bought my component cable early on when I got my GameCube. iirc I got it directly through Nintendo, and I think even from Japan because I couldn't get it in The Netherlands. It was expensive but the quality was worth it. Didn't know they would be so expensive now :-) Not giving mine up though.

Is there any point in getting this over an OSSC? I have an OSSC and it seems to do what this does and more.

Sucks that it isn’t compatible with the Gamecube model DOL-101 :( any other recommendations or workarounds?

i looked a bit and is it true that only the american component cables are so expensive?

Does this cause black screen during resolution changes like in rogue squadron and the Carby?

I really need to pick up a GameCube!!

Awesome!

I have a beautiful Red Gamecube, with a qoob pro installed!! Still works flawless, and awesome with my original wavebird controllers too! Original Composite lead straight into the back of my HD tv. Pure Awesomeness as always. I have never had any need for the silly hdmi converters, especially at $150!! The only annoying part is i can't seem to find a way of running my backups from an sd card. Any help with this would be very welcome. But for now i'm happy running them from disc only.

The difference between the GCHC and official cables it pretty visible to me. The official cables look sharper with higher contrast.
