"Question - Will GC run on PS2's leads?"

A friend of mine wants to get a GC, but his TV is yonks old, and he wants to know if the GC works with the old lead you use with PSone, that also works with PS2? It's not a SCART cable, but people with PlayStation 1s will know what I mean.

Hmm. I *think* it will work. I tried it round a mates house once when he insisted he had a SCART TV over the phone, then I got there and he didn't (blummin' chimp) so we tried using his PSX cable on his really old TV... the cable fit into the Cube socket, only we couldn't get the TV to tune... but I reckon that was the TV not the cable... anyhoo. It should work...

It's got the same connection the GameCube RF has does it?

Sibs, was the picture quality the same.

Edgy, don't ask, I have no idea about these things.

I doubt it will work.
I just checked my Cube and the three sockets at the back are much wider than that of the PS's and PS2's.
Unless it can go in one of the ports at the bottom. BUt I highly doubt that.

Anyway, he can buy the RF adapter surely?

the connector (at the console end) is usually very slightly different meaning you have to buy another product :(
Those devious console manufacturers

Meh, I shall now go nick the leads for my Bros PSX and see if it works... I must be bored...

Hmmm... his PSX seems to have disappeared... musta taken it round someones house...

But all I remember is that round a mates house his analogue PSX cable fit into the Cube analogue out socket... the Cube socket has a little square hole bit on top of it, and the Cube cable has a little square bit on top to fit into the hole... the PSX I don't think has this little square on its cable/socket, so the Cube cable won't work with the PSX (the square bit jutting out from the top would have to be cut off...) but the PSX one should fit in the Cube since it has no square... (If ya know what I mean...)

Whether or not it works I don't know (we couldn't tune my mates ancient TV... you had to get a screwdriver and twist these funny plastic circles to tune it which proved faaaar too much hassle) but I can't see why it wouldn't work...

I was going to lend my GC to my mate before but his TV didn't have a scart socket so he tried to use his old PS cables but there's a little square bit that won't let the cable fit.

I reckon if you sawed it off though it should be fine.
