Ive heard it is better on RGB because it uses 60hz but ive used plenty of games on 60hz using the scart lead? Whats the point?

When I first bought my Gamecube I also had a madcatz RGB scart lead, despite being gold plated it didn't give a much better picture than the composite cable in the box.

The guy at Toys R Us reckoned that it was the same as Nintendo's official cable...not being convinced I went out and bought an official Nintendo one at a wallet destroying £25.

Without doubt, it is the best scart cable of the lot, and it's not even gold plated ! £25 is well worth it as it gives pin sharp images and clean crisp colours even on my somewhat rubbish tv (Proline :) ).

On another note, always check your TV instruction book and check you've got your scart plugged into a RGB scart socket - most tvs do not have RGB on all sockets which could be why you don't notice any quality improvements.

Get the RGB lead if your TV supports RGB. There is a massive difference between RGB and Composite(3 coloured phonos). People who say there isnt a difference obviously dont have a TV with a compatible scart socket.

Geees. Scroll down and read what their talking about and stop writing in capitals. They are writing about the RGB lead that improves graphics and the speed of a game.

Well I tell u what, when youre playing resident evil in 60hrtz mode, its a hell of a lot better. The speed in which they run is noticably different and the reaction times between the screen and the control pad. The graphics are also slightly improved. Also if you are playing Tekken 4 then the 60hrtz option is a must, if not the characters are mega slow and it plays very crap!!! I must say buying the equipment to enable the 60hrtz option is a bit expensive. I bought my RBG cable for £25!!!

You can technically use 60Hz mode with any cable, but the cable supplied with the gamecube causes a wierd buzzing that gives me a headache.
