  I thought this was from a huge channel, saw only 100 or so subs. Quality of the video is amazing.

  Thank you for this. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to play retro consoles on the new OLED TVs. Gotta keep the classics alive as long as we can.

  This is great! You did an awesome job! I am a big Nintendo GameCube fan as well! Double Dash is where it&apos;s at!

  A good choice between the 2x mini and the 5x is the 2x pro. Basically a 2x mini with a component input. The 5x upscaling isn&apos;t really that big of a deal for me cuz its still really just outputting 480p, so the upscaling is really just to get modern tvs to recognize the signal, but guess it depends on what you care about

  Omg! Thank you for this video! I bought the cheap one too and the image was terrible! But this video is really helpful. I have a GameCube game I’ve been wanting to play, but was difficult to enjoy due to the output

  I just picked up one of those GCHD adapters to plug it to my flat screen tv, and one of those wireless retro fighters pad tha have rumble. And it looks and plays really good.

  Still waiting for RetroTink to restock the mini&apos;s, I&apos;m tempted to just buy from the scalpers. :/ &nbsp;Really informative video and was super specific to what I needed. &nbsp;I didn&apos;t even think about buying component cables. &nbsp;I&apos;m so excited to play my GameCube again. 💖

  An opinion a year later, but honestly for me the best way to hookup a gamcube, or mostly any older console is through an HDMI internal mod, it&apos;s expensive, requires soldering skills, but you get a clean picture because it doesn&apos;t go through the DAC (Digital/Analog Converter) and therefore you don&apos;t have to digitalize it again, so no noise, no artifacts, no visual aberrations, clean digital picture directly with no middle mans, some of these mods also work as upscalers and deinterlacers (like the RetroGEM from PixelFX for the N64, PS1 and PS2), others simply output a 480p or 240p depending on the console.<br>In terms of cost i honestly see it way more worth it than investing in tools like Retrotinks or OSSC&apos;s, it&apos;s a do once keep it forever mod that removes SO MUCH clutter from your setup, and all in all you&apos;re gonna end up paying more or less the same, because not only you have to get one of those devices, you&apos;ll also have to get &quot;premium quality&quot; cables, sometimes adapters, and at the end of the day you&apos;re gonna have an spaghetti monster of 200$+ per console you wanna hookup.<br>With this method you&apos;re gonna end up with 100 to a 150$ per modchip/console, but then the rest of the cost is simply a 5$ HDMI cable, and you&apos;ll have a better picture quality. <br>For the gamecube and wii in specific the best way to get a clean digital image is simply use a WiiU with CFW to play those games, install Nintendont and use it to run the legally ripped ISO&apos;s. <br>Of course that&apos;s only valid if you are set on using a digital TV, if you have something like a Trinitron or a Quintrix CRT TV, get high quality Component or Composite cables and forget about all this, these consoles and their games where made with CRT&apos;s in mind, specially the older you go, you&apos;ll find that some effects or other art related stuff might not look like the OG CRT look because LCD works completely different from a CRT, and mane games took advantage of how CRT&apos;s worked to accomplish a lot of technical details.

  I regret paying for those HD adapters years ago, the mark II or whatever it was called snapped in half.<br><br>The retrotink is DEFINITELY the best option.
