My Life in Gaming makes documentaries, deep dives into retro console hardware, and more.
I find myself rewatching these videos like 5 times as I have different questions when buying new things. You guys are the best!
Literally just bought an original indigo GameCube yesterday and was looking for cables to beat the regular setup, so random how this video comes out the the very next day to help me find a better priced solution and be confident that it’ll work! Thank you guys so much!!!!!
Thanks for this video! I was debating on getting an EON GCHD for months, but didn't want to spend $150 on one. But when you pointed out that Carby has identical output for half the price, I bought one immediately. It looks great! Now I can FINALLY close the chapter on playing my GameCube/Game Boy Player in 480p!
I can always count on MLiG to review things I've been debating picking up! It always makes my decisions easier, thanks guys!
I love the sound effects when plugging into the console
I'm a simple person. I see a new MLiG video, I instantly like it.
SCf3 My in Life Gaming?
I just woke up when I posted this, please spare me hahah. RIP my spelling.
What if the video turned out to be about how to best murder puppies and you just blindly liked it? You sick bastard!
Gabbiandini It's not "like begging." Sure, it's not that creative, but you shouldn't treat it as if it's saying "like if you're watching in 2019" or some bullshit like that.
Love the fact that you always put Baten Kaitos footage in your GameCube videos. Great RPG!
Just in time for Xmas. Thank you so much for all the analysis, specs and caviats. Because of videos like the RGB master class series, I've never enjoyed being a retro gamer and collector so much. Keep up the awesome work. Truly the best modern tech content creator channel on UA-cam.
coury in the house.
my fav anime
How did noone ever think of this
@@WH250398 I KNOW its "funny and original"
@@sonicboom126 I'm actually being serious. I've been with this channel for quite a while, and I have never seen that comment here.
@@WH250398 Are YOU FUCKING kidding me
THANK YOU for mentioning dithering. I just tried my Carby and noticed some serious dithering on Luigi's Mansion while I didn't notice any when I tried the same game on my CRT via official component cables. You just put me at ease. This channel rocks!
So what was the cause of that problem ?
@@goldenboyy5448 I may be wrong, but I'm suspecting it's just the way my old plasma from 2011 displays 480p images (I still love my plasma, nonetheless). Combining the Carby with the MClassic is a great way to fix much of the dithering and helps crispen the image!
I think the dithering becomes more visible when turning off deflicker (deflicker was meant for 480i and blends together each scanline with its neighbor above and below, acting as vertical blur, disabling is commonly done by video mods which force 480p on games).
I recieved my Carby the other day. I'm enjoying it.
Still one of the best intros on UA-cam. Quick cool and catchy. Love your content
Interesting to see that there are a few ways Component via the GC Video solutions actually top the official release. I was also surprised by what a dead ringer the Insurrection digital out connector is. At the price they're offering their product for, I might actually pick one up for future projects. MLiG providing great insights as always!
You guys ROCK! The GameCube episodes are the BEST!
Love that Arcade Legacy shirt, that place is amazing!
When it comes to 300 level content, I don't think i'll ever be an 'A' student. The level of complexity and trade-offs at this level of scrutiny make it so there is no 'best' solution. I enjoy and appreciate this content and the detail it provides, but I'm probably only going to take the 20% that gets me 80% of the way there. Thanks for another great video guys. While my interest in a retro collection is wayy ahead of my wallet, this video series is helping me make good decisions on how my collection grows.
Such a wonderfully produced video (as always). Bravo guys! And thank you for proving why you guys remain the authority when it comes to exploring RGB and Hi-Fi retro gaming AV outputs. 👍🏼
*(Have to be honest, the special moment that happens at 6:21 made me crack up... LOL)
Been using the EON GCHD for 2 years now. It's perfection. I adore it.
Good thing I imported original component cables from Japan in 2008. I only paid $70 back then.
When 70$ is cheap you know something is messed up
I managed to buy a set at Gamestop about 8 years ago. They were on the rack for $4. They had no idea what they had!
70$ is cheap for good quality cables wit low production
I got it from the US Nintendo online store for $40, early 2000's, and I thought that was expensive. For the longest time, I thought the "Digital" port on the 'cube was a misnomer, because component is not digital.
@@sangbeta2043 Same. I remember getting them in the mail circa 2002. I never imagined in a million years they would turn in to such a coveted, sought after item.
One quick insight on the 3D. The other intention was for a 3D display. Nintendo actually showed a prototype at one point, but never activated it. Look up photos of Phantasy Star Online Ep. 3 at E3 and you’ll see a GameCube hooked up to a mini LCD TV. That was the prototype 3D display, but they never activated or mentioned it.
21:27 rap god
Here's a challenge take a shot every time he says game boy. but seriously though I really enjoyed this video and I absolutely love the GameCube
@@cyclops8238 Ok so something so it's MLIG But everytime TRY says Game Boy
These videos are always so well put together. I really appreciate that and all the info you share! 🙏
RE: Dithering -- People only give the Genesis shit when it comes to dithering. It's OK for other systems to dither, but not the Genesis! But I think that's just because people REALLY like to badmouth the Genesis for whatever reason. Makes them feel good and more secure I guess. The good news is that this attitude seems to be going away somewhat as people unclench their asses and enjoy games from all consoles as we all should!
[Try4ce] I'd say that dithering in 3D games is worse than dithering in 2D games, but neither particularly bothers me.
Dithering is tarible on any system for me
When I 1st noticed it on my GC games when I upgraded from composite to RGB, I thought my cable was broken, so I got a better one, I still had it.
I bought component cable, then I got ossc, still THEIR. Then last thing toooo try upgraded to HDMI and it was still their.
I love the game cube, but some games with dithering are soo bad for me I can not play them on the game cube without plugging in my composite cable or just playing them on dolpin.
I hope modders find a way to remove dithering on the GC.
I actually love the dithered look of Genesis titles via component cables. It's almost an art-style in itself! I'm excited to see some of my favorites on the Mega SG come April.
What a bizarre little rant...I feel like if it wasn't for Game Sack, Joe would be one of those methed-out screaming bums on the sidewalk.
Really? I thought people gave the Saturn more crap for dithering...
This video is gonna make me cry with nostalgia I'm 25 I haven't had a GameCube in over ten years. I just bought one from my local pawnshop, I can't wait to upgrade it like this.
Why they sitting like it’s a crime documentary😂 I love it😂
Thank you guys for covering component so thoroughly. It's my preferred way to play retro games and this has given me big hopes for upping my gamecube game.
Always a clarifying experience, these videos; great work!!
This is one of the best videos on UA-cam I have seen. So much thorough research and info here. Thanks all!
finally an updated gamecube video thank you MLIG!!!!!!!!
Love your videos! I can’t believe you only have 120k subs!
This channel should have at least a million subs!
Nice
Just watched the DF Retro video. And now this :D
Me too! It is a nice time to be a retro video game fan :)
Great video! I recently purchased the Carby HDMI adapter and it works great! I've played a few GC games on my HDTV (a TLC P605 with very low input lag) and they look fantastic!
15:02 Heyyyy, I remember that! Surprised you still had that footage laying around!
[Try4ce] It was easier to dig up than I expected! Thanks again for that!
Just in time for the GCHD Mk-II's release. Excellent video as always.
I had pretty huge differences between two Wii component cables I bought(the first one was like 7.99, so maybe that's to be excepted).
With the current ones, tho, I don't see why you'd need anything more than a Wii. The picture is super sharp and you get the added benefits of running Wii custom firmware, which compared to a GC doesn't require any mods or extra hardware whatsoever. This is pretty important if you live in PAL land, where none of the games released even had official support for 480p.
So yeah, I'd say go for a Wii unless you *really* need that extra 1% in picture quality(and remember to get good component cables for it, thick ones usual indicates quality in my experience).
I totally agree with what you say except one point: if you want the best GB/GBC/GBA picture quality through some sort of monitor, you only real two options* are either a GB Player with a component/HDMI/RGB solution or modding a GBA to output that way. To that end, a GC controller is substantially more comfortable for long-term play. Also, the chroma shift they mention in gcvideo 2.4a vs 2.4b is precisely most noticeable on 2D art for GB/GBC/GBA games.
Having said that, throwing $75 just to get an improved image in GBA games isn't enough for me. GBI gives me enough options and flexibility to be a good enough solution for the time being. For GC games, I'd just go for a Wii/Wii U. Probably the most amazing thing to me looking at the videos is unless you magnify the video or are very close to the monitor in most circumstances even composite cable looks really good. I guess I'm more inclined to accept soft edges over jaggies on 3D art (and vice versa on 2D), so that's probably more a bias on my part.
* I don't include emulation primarily because as awesome as it is, AFAIK we're not to the point of 100% fidelity and obviously this whole discussion is focused on that. If not, then yea, a Raspberry Pi 3 would be good enough in almost all circumstances.
Great video as usual. I was lucky enough to buy component cables directly from Nintendo years ago but I still love the advancements made on getting improved digital and analog video out of the good ole GameCube. Keep up the great work.
Honestly while all of this is great I think I'm just gonna stick to Nintendont on my Wii with Component cables to my HD tv. It can make most Pal Gamecube games that support 60hz run at 480p and if they can't the NTSC version most likely is. While all of this other stuff is great for people that can't dare to look at Gamecube games through the Wii's Component video I personally couldn't care less. At this point the only thing I'm missing is a PVM so I can guarantee a lag free experience for myself. Anyway great video as always! At this point you guys feel so professional to me that you could probably be put on TV and nobody would bat an eye. If you guys ever released a Blu-ray I would buy that in a heart beat!
I agree. I have a GameCube but why bother with this faff when you can get a Wii for less than half the price of one of these widgets. Money to burn.
I'm pretty similarly-minded. Wii component 480p going through my trusty old XRGB-3 to a PC monitor looks like playing a damned arcade game to my eyes, even if it downsamples the color.
Even with my Game Boy Player (the only reason I keep my cube), I just can't be bothered to go beyond S-video because thanks to GBI, I can output all of that stuff at 240p, and it just looks fine to me on S-vid.
I still watch because I like the work that MLiG does and have an interest in these kinds of things (and a few friends with equal interest that may actually benefit from hardware upgrades like these... gift ideas lol).
A PVM isn't remotely needed for a lag-free experience. If a light gun works on your set, you have a lag-free crt. Most consumer 15khz crts are lag-free.
@@danieljimenez1989 I don't think the OP was under that impression about PVMs having less lag or whatever--just that he probably doesn't want to get a consumer tube if he's getting a tube at all. It was implied in the text ofc, but I'd be inclined to think that was a mistake first.
Personally I think it's way too much hassle and nerdcore competition and just opted to use a consumer PC monitor instead, but to each their own.
@@MrDirkles The wii outputs an objectively worse signal since its still analog, and the gamecube has real digital out
So excited to see ya'll cover these adapters! Definitely the most trusted source for these kind of comparisons
Man, I love how crazy and interesting all this new tech is, and yet I’m just using an RGB SCART cable on my CRT. Honestly, the quality difference is noticeable, definitely with a direct comparison and maybe kinda without it, but only when upscaled on an LCD. I bet you it’s damn near impossible to tell when sat on a sofa at the other end of the room when using a CRT, and I definitely can’t tell the difference. But even if I could tell, it’s far easier to just buy a Wii SCART cable for 20 quid and then just have it work, rather than buy £100-200 of cables and dongles and adaptors and then have to spend hours trying to configure it. (I’m a massive nerd though and would need to spend all year checking every option.) And worst of all, my CRT simply cannot handle 480p and is limited to 576i, so I can’t make use of any of this new stuff anyway.
I expect that for now I’ll be sticking with my current hardware as 576i is my max resolution and hides any picture issues, but when I acquire a PVM-20L5 or some BVM model, I’ll probably be upgrading to a GCHD-MKII.
Just ordered the Carby! Hyped.
I'll probably get the carby. I don't plan on dropping 300 on a frameister or oscc anytime. I'll just stick to component and hdmi when I can. I'd rather save my money for analogs supernt and sega system for my older consoles.
As someone who used composite cables for the Gamecube's entire lifespan, Wii+component cables suits me just fine and looks amazing by comparison. But it's awesome that there are so many alternatives out there nowadays.
Weirdly enough I actually used RGB on both SNES and Mega Drive and even a VGA box on Dreamcast. Not sure where that weird step back to composite came from.
Thanks for all your work!
What about a Dreamcast Episode? There are some interesting solutions for the system.
I love the attention to the GameCube. Such a unique console.
it blows my mind how much time people put into these old consoles.
personally id just play my GC games on my softmodded Wii with component but , hey,
to each their own ;-)
what about GB/GBA games?
@@tinostarks woozle mod
@@virginraydevito Yes that thing is interesting and probably the best picture quality but it is a whole different ballgame and investment level than the Gameboy Player.
@@bazzaro1982 cheaper than gamecube + hdmi adapter + gb player + action replay, no?
@@virginraydevito What's the price of the mod, I have looked and can't find that information? I am just guessing it isn't cheap. I am also assuming the average person (like myself) would need to pay someone to mod it. My set up is all plug and play for under $200 and I am enjoying GameCube and all GameBoy systems in Progressive Scan with a pure digital signal.
Full Disclosure I don't use the Action Replay, I use the GameBoy Startup Disc. Console $40 + Carby $75 + GBA Player and Disc $75.
Am I saying the woozle mod isn't going to be a better experience, no, it most likely will be. What I am saying is the time, effort, and/or cost probably isn't worth it to a lot people, especially when a pretty damn good plug and play solution is available.
That is what I mean when I say it is a whole different ballgame.
How you people still don't have a million subscribers is beyond me!! Top quality channel!
Is this video going to be updated? Retrobit recently released new component cables and an HDMI converter. There's finally a third party option and I just got the component cables, they seem of great quality.
Yes! Been waiting on this video since the first one came out. Awesome job as always fellas! :)
and I just use my GameCube with the old "shitty" cables :D
What an incredibly produced, information filled video! Wow! Seriously, thank you for all the work. I love the idea of forcing games into a cleaner 480p mode because of the clear advantage of 480p, pun intended. Right now I Gamecube via my Wii and component cables. I do miss my Gameboy player and did not know Gameboy games could looks that clear on a TV. My Wii works for saving space since I can play both Gamecube and Wii games with my vast collection of VC and WiiWare games on one system. In the end, I love how all this will help more people be able to appreciate the Gamecube and what it could do visually. What I would really want to see is a plug in solution like this for the N64. I have an S-video cable to HDMI upscaler and it works very well on modern TVs but it would be nice to see an all in one HDMI solution specifically geared to the N64 that does not require you to mod the system. Keep up the great work and so glad I subscribed.
I think I'm gonna get a GChd mk II with some HD Retrovision Wii component cables so I can still use it on a crt.
I used the GCHD Mk-II with the Marseille mCable. The image is amazing.
Please do the Original Xbox next!
yeaaahhhh
I concur. I know the OG Xbox can go as high as 1080i but that was only on NTSC & modded Xboxes
It would have been cool to see pal GameCube RGB scart vs GC Video rgb scart, but still, amazing job as usual guys!
[Try4ce] Sadly we didn't have one on hand, but as stated, RGB is a color space conversion for the GameCube (from YCbCr) so you could make the argument that component is more "accurate." However I thought the RGB looked excellent on the Mk-II, no real downside to that versus component. Also remember that the native RGB on the PAL systems cannot do 480p, only the digital connector can do that.
@@mylifeingaming You're right. I was just wondering, since I live in PAL land, if it's a good idea to just buy the cheaper hdmi only solution and for a CRT to just use the analog port RGB capability
Finally broke down and bought a Component cable.
Which DRC mode do I use on my Sony Trinitron CRT?
Interlaced or Progressive?
[Try4ce] You must have a digital CRT. It's been a while since I had one. It's deinterlacing modes. Try each while using interlaced games. If your see some weirdness along color edges when moving horizonally, switch to the other mode. I forget which does what.
I haven't played GameCube games on my actual console for a long time.
But it's games I play to this day on my Wii.
Will you be doing a video on getting the best quality output for the Wii?
[Try4ce] Yep, I'm intending to target the first few months of 2019 for that.
Great video as always. I love watching to see what the community can come up with for tasks as the daunting GameCube video output. As well as learning the technical side of how these devices work
Woot woot, finally i know if it´s worth to get one of these options or continue using my Wii for 480p, with Nintendon´t.
MLiG does what Nintendo't :D
i don’t even have a gamecube but i share your passion
So which is better? GCHD or CASBY? I'm not too tech savy.
[Try4ce] Carby is the most affordable and identical quality if you want to use HDMI only. But GCHD also offers analog video and additional audio output options if you need that.
@fiveoheye they show them in the video, keep your peepers peeled.
Exactly what I wanted to know-- thanks for asking, and thanks Try4ce for answering.
@@mylifeingaming thanks for the reply
I’d consider buying the actual component cables or monster cables, or alternatively the AR card/disc. Because there are several videos, forums, and post indicating these hdmi attachments fried peoples GameCube. Although they do work, there’s a specific chip that Ninentendo used to convert and upscale the image...these attachments were made to bypass that, and ultimately over work the cosnsole and dry the mother board.
This is my new go to video when I can't sleep.
Are there any picture comparisons for the different connections? My internet's pretty terrible right now, and I feel like watching this video in 240p isn't doing it justice. D:
[Try4ce] There are a ton.
I think he means in jpg format or some other image format, because he can only watch the YT-Video in 240p.
The videos are so professional and informative!! Too bad, I didn't find the channel earlier, instant subbed. Well done, MLiG-Team! :)
Hey, can you guys do a video on reproduction labels/cartridges/boxes etc please?
still happy with Wii for Gamecube games via HDMI/Component. Cost-wise. I do like seeing alternatives.
Hice. Great video. As always. So, how's the thought for a Dreamcast episode for RGB comin'b
That's a good question . I am also hoping they will make a Dreamcast Episode in the near Future. Would be very interesting.
[Try4ce] Check our stream archives playlist (on our front UA-cam page) for some HDMI Dreamcast action in last Sunday's stream.
[Coury] Its definitely coming, though we are waiting on a couple of developments to pop up first. We did a livestream with the DC HDMI by Citrus3000psi last week. If you want a taste of it, go to the front page of the channel and check out the LiveStream archive playlist.
My Life in Gaming
Okay, guys. I didn't realize you have a livestream archive. Mostly because whenever you make a livestream, it's always taken down from the subscription video list
I missed you guys!! Thanks for uploading a new video! :)
Anyone know where I can find an Action Replay that is reliable?
I never clicked on a video notification so fast!
MyLifeInGaming if you can read This, can make a video about projectors or projection televisions?
Probably not because projection TVs suck and a projector normally relies on how closely its position is to the screen/wall. Besides that how clean your bulbs are and bright they glow affect you resolution. There's a reason why we have slowly stepped away from projection tvs
But what about a video for how to get the best sound with different alternatives on speakers and headphones on the market for consoles ?
Depends on what systems your using. Any thing with av or component cables can be ran through most home theater systems. I use an old Yamaha AV receiver for all my games and it handles everything from the snes to the ps3 just fine. If your mostly using hdmi get a decent sound bar from bestbuy or walmart. Stick with brand names and you should be ok. If your trying this with a system like a nes that's just mono or uses coaxial cable I'd just use whatever speakers the TV your using for it has.
Hold on now...you guys just showed clips of Lost Kingdoms...SO COOL!😊
Wow no badass consoles solution to look at
what a surprise
I pre-ordered the GCHD Mk-II as one my of Christmas gifts. Really looking forward to seeing how Ultimate Muscle Legends Vs New Generations plays through it.
Finally got to see Ultimate Muscle in action with the adapter as the game arrived today (January 4th 2019). Looked great.
No mention of Badass Consoles and his -ripoff- I mean pipe dream solutions. I'm looking forward to the insurrection cables for my BVM.
Yeah I'm working on getting my money back from that jackass now.
I haven’t followed that site in a few years. Used to visit regularly. What bothered me the most is all the ideas they have plans to implement on whatever it is they’re working on and when you ask a couple of years later what happened, they just say be patient. I don’t think they have the time to do what they want to do and then can’t be bothered when you ask.
@@JC-lk3oy- Good luck. I've been trying to get a refund for a year now, and he just ignores the requests. And it's a refund form on his own damn website! I don't think the page even works anymore. And he'll never answer emails. And all that for a GCVideo install, something that's been available for 2 years now! Dude's a straight up thief.
I paid that asswipe $90.00 CAD almost two years ago now and have still received absolute FUCK ALL from him in terms of when he'd be done with his boards or hell, even receiving a goddamn refund. Granted, MLiG had nothing to do with the project, but if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't have found out about it. I'm REALLY pissed that only now are readily available plug and play solutions on the market for a mere $50.00 more than what I'd paid BAC. If you're reading this, Mike please give us our money back. Nobody likes a hack.
Well no, this is about solutions that exist. Ayyyyy lmao
Another great one, and always good to see Wario World get some love (I have to wonder if the developer "Treasure" was intentionally chosen for the pun). As a competitive Smash Melee player, some of these options get brought up a decent amount with the ongoing threat of the CRT apocalypse, and from what I've heard the GCHD is about as good as you can hope for with regards to latency, something heavily scrutinized in a game requiring frame perfect inputs.
What about.... a Wii with a Dan Kunz Wii Dual HDMi kit installed to play GameCube, to play devils advocate.
[Try4ce] We're saving that for our Wii episode, which will come next year. I have to assume the picture quality is identical to Mk-II, barring any analog variations.
I personally don’t like inserting my disc to the wii making then prone to scratching my disc
@@linvol20 You still use discs?
Also, ngc is prob the best system to can play gb/gba games
@@linvol20 woozle mod is way better
That Mk2 Eon option looks pretty good and I'm amazed they didn't jack up the price with all the included options.
Sucks having a pal GameCube 🙄
10:37 Why do your TOSlink cables have gold/brass plating on them? TOSlink is fiber-optic, it doesn't need to conduct electricity.
I couldn’t understand anything, too complicated
SO FUCKING CONFUSING... i HAVE PASSED LIKE 5 HOURS SEARCHING FOR THE BEST HDMI FOR GAMECUBE... and NO ONE KNOWS WITCH IS THE ONE WE ALL NEED... IT KEEPS MORE AND MORE CONFUSING !!!!
@@comicszoneuniverse If you have an early model gamecube with the second video port then get a Carby adapter. Done.
Holy crap the Bob Deinterlacing with Alternating Scanlines looks basically exactly like my 576i on my CRT!
I got the official GC component and the Wii Component. For GC games, just use a WiiComponent instead to buy any cable for GC. You need a microscope to see any diffence!
Great video as always!
You guys deserve much more attention!
So glad to see this, and (after doing a little more research on that forever-delayed Zelda X thing) to finally know what product to buy ... Thanks a lot! :D
If this thing really has 0 lag, well then good for them for doing it right. Of course I'll still be sticking with my old reliable friend composite video.
I always, ALWAYS enjoy your content. Even when the material is something I won’t ever use (I use component on my CRT for retro), it’s still extremely interesting.
Oh man those alternating scanlines are awesome! That’s how deinterlacing should be done!
Best technical gaming UA-cam channel
It's nice to finish that DF Retro episode to have this waiting!👍
I like these kinds of video. So much info, so much interesting stuff to look at! Good work!
I bought a Carby after watching this and the DFR video this morning.
4:27 "It looks so good and clicks in just right"
That's what she said.
My GameCube doesn't even has the Digital Out but I love your videos. I play my GC games on a modded Wii with a HDMI adapter I got on Amazon, I know it isn't as good as the original GC but at least i can play GC games on 16:9 without distortion and on a 42" 720p screen it looks amazing!
Awesome! Waiting for a Wii video like this, with options for improving the video quality and comparing the different revisions, since its said that later revisions have better video output than earlier.
[Try4ce] Yep, we will be doing a Wii video next year!
Crazy Taxi is a good game to test for color shift/bleed. Once you’re past the Press Start screen, the menu selection screen is great for testing this. It will easily show if there’s any.
I’m using the EON MKII with RV Component into my RT5X. Didn’t look all that good until I used Swiss to force 480p then the difference was great. I then used the mClassic and it’s even better. I’m no advocate for the mClassic and I hardly use it but in this use case it was a noticeable difference even though I’m using it out from the RT5X with 1080p. It helps remove the analog haze.
Just modified my Gamecube with GCDual... I'm impressed! :) Waiting on the GBA Consolizer.
Man am I glad I bought my component cables around 2003ish for around 30 bucks couldn’t imagine paying $275

I love the intro
I'd love to see a view on MiSter and retro pi from you guys, especially from a perspective of playing via rgb... I've seen some scart connectors for both but would love to see how it measures up from your usual fantastic deep dives. Thanks!
