BITFUNX NGC to Component Cable, for Gamecube DOL-001

After years of wanting the expensive Nintendo Game Cube Component cable, I was searching around on the internet trying once again to find a Game Cube cable for a reasonable price, I had recently acquired an HD Tube TV with a component setup. This brought up that need again. After some extensive research I found companies were finally making third party cables, which lead me down a path of who had the best it brought me over to BITFUNX. I located their cable online, the price is very reasonable. Upon arrival I was able to easily connect the NGC to my TV with the component cable. I turned on PIKMIN 2 and it sounded better than I had ever seen, the picture quality was better than I had ever seen. The Game Cube was my favorite system to play in the 2002 to 2004 before I switched to PC games so this took me back. I've been able to introduce a lot of my favorite games to my kids! A wonderful full operation device to get me to an incredible quality I never experienced.

Top class, works absolutely perfectly to my RetroScaler GBSC PRO —> 55” LG C1 OLED. Also perfect directly to my CRTs with component input. Masterpiece. I am VERY picky with picture quality, I own a collection of over 40 consoles, have CRTs, scalers, etc and I STRONGLY recommend this cable.

Worth it. 480p!!!!! Luckily I had an old school led flat screen with component cable

Works like the expensive OEM component cables, plus outputs audio. With the original OEM Nintendo component cables, a separate cable is needed for audio. I do wish the connector was smaller and not prone to stressing the connector, but the included brace helps to mitigate this. This was used with a 480i CRT that accepts component video input. For most other purposes I would recommend the HDMI adapter instead but this should still a bit of an improvement over S-video.

This seemed to be the cheaper, but great quality option when looking to GC component cables and it does not disappoint. Image is immaculate and clear. The colors are vibrant and this really does kick composites butt when it comes to picture. So why 4/5 stars- well sometimes it thinks my TV is giving off a 480P signal vs a 240P/408i signal. This causes the picture to absolutely crazy (I am playing on a CRT). Plus, its barely better than S-Video. That said, I recommend this to those who want the best of the best, but S-Video is still a solid option if you don't want to spend the money.

Amazing cable. Works well and high quality ❤️🤍💚💙❤️

Saying these have a flawed implementation of GCVideo Lite might not be fair - they implemented it correctly but GCVideo itself is flawed (particularly the audio) and the instructions don't provide any advice for working around it. The GCVideo Lite spec has the audio channels flipped. The easy fix for this (and the encoding bug that caps output at 24khz) is to use your existing composite\s-video cables for audio. Sure, you could flip the white and red RCA's but that wouldn't fix the encoding bug that causes pretty bad sound output at high frequencies. This important, basic advice is missing from the instructions and really should have been included. There is no benefit to getting audio from the Gamecube Digital Output port unless you are outputting to HDMI. I suspect the reason they don't recommend using the analog AV port for audio is because they made the connector so large, it interferes with the OEM AV cable - so you have to use an aftermarket cable which all seem to have smaller boots. Buy a cheap aftermarket composite or s-video cable and strip back the video wire to the connector and clip to prevent crosstalk, leaving you a white and red RCA for left and right audio. If the cable isn't crap it should be wired for the correct channels (not flipped, not combined into mono, etc.) You can test in 240p suite or any game you can control SFX on left and right channel. Other than the audio mess and the fact the connector is so large you can't use your OEM cable for audio, they were rightfully concerned about it fatiguing the Gamecube digital output port, and included a laughably flawed support clip that clicks into the rear vents to help with the bulk and weight of the cable. It makes you wonder how they could be considered qualified to make a complex cable when they cant 3D print or mold a piece of plastic. The problem is the clips are upside down and it sits too low. I cut a piece of plastic about 2mm thick, wedged into the gap between the clip and the Gamecube vent lip to push the clip upward to support the bottom of the cable connector jacket. Aside from all that, the cable works. The output is identical to the Prism which costs more and is basically the same quality cable with all the same GCVideo Lite flaws. Compared to the original Gamecube component cable, which I still have after all these years, there are pros and cons. The Gamecube cable produces a slightly brighter picture, but the GCVideo Lite cables seem to have better color saturation. The sharpness and whatnot are identical on my Toshiba CRT. Literally cannot tell a difference. I haven't gotten my hands on a Carby cable or any other component options so my reference point is Bitfunx, Prism, and OEM Component, and surprisingly, the OEM Component does not win in every metric. It's a better cable, and rightly designed WITHOUT analog audio output (Nintendo says to do what I recommend above: use your analog AV cables audio RCA's + the digital AV cable for video) but it's not worth the money compared to GCVideo Lite cables. Like myself, as long as you don't use the audio output from a GCVideo Lite cable, you won't be able to see a difference in overall output quality. 3 stars, just because they really phoned it in with the instructions and the clip.

Great cable. Exactly what you’ll need to upgrade your GameCube to the next level. Fits perfectly and is very easy to set up. The way this cable pretty much doubles your video resolution is huge. If you’re a GBA player user the difference is noticeable immediately, colors and image are sharper and picture is just much cleaner on my CRT. Definitely recommended.

The image quality isnt much better than the Analog output, if at all. Using an upscaler with it doesnt seem to make a difference either. But it works none the less, so cant give it a bad star rating.

El cable es grueso y duro, la calidad del audio y video es muy buena, y el soporte para sostener el cable y proteger el puerto de la consola hace bien su trabajo. Lo uso con una escaladora OSSC y funciona muy bien. Recomendadísimo!

Considering how expensive these things usually are this works great. It can be a bit finecky to get the audio to work properly although from what I'm reading it's more a problem with the GC than with the cables. Ended up using the RCA cables for audio. Really not a big hassle and the image quality upgrade is definitely worth the price.

Works great on my Gamecube. Picture quality is crisp and clean. Tried an S-video cable which is worse than the rca cable that came with the console. cut the chase and buy these.

I was worried that it wouldn't allow you to set it to progressive scan mode at first but it does allow you to. It's MUCH cheaper than the OEM cables and it looks just as good as them too. It's also cheaper than the GCHD Eon thing too. If you have a Gamecube with the "Digital AV Out" port and a TV that has Component support, pick this up
