Hi,

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction for an s video cable? Special reserve have none, are saying that the PAL Gamecube has no s video out (what???) thus they do not supply it HMV have none and I can't source one anywhere!!! help!

I need to connect my GC via my ATI All In Wonder to my PC (it has composite and svideo in - but the composite is not great, blurry graphics and fuzzy reds and greens abound) so thought S video would be the way to go. Any comments welcome.

Cheers

The PAL Gamecube does NOT have an s-video output. I bought one on 3 May and it didn't work. This is because Nintendo failed to inform the companies making the third party peripherals and so all gamecube s-video leads have been recalled.

I wanted to source the Redant edition from Liksang - but again, the description of the product says it does not support Pal Gamecubes. If you go to the FAQ for the VGA converter product it clearly says it does not auto switch as it says on the box. This is nuts, because the PS2 version works!

Sorry to argue guys - I am just trying to get some sense out of the suppliers.

:O( Confused.

Did it work (sorry to sound so incredulous) but if you read the description of the lead on liksang, they clearly state it does not work on the PAL gamecube!

I had an s-video lead for my N64, and as the connectors look the same it might work on gamecube.

Hang on, i'll just check...

Oh, it doesn't work. My cable is a "spook" one, maybe other brands wouold work though...

Could I sugest you get the digital lead that looks like it allows you to connect you GC directly to a PC monitor.
