Fully agree with you on this one.

Looks kak currently.

Will see what happens next month. Maybe a quick project for the December leave.

And lights. And a fan for the little bit of heat.

Nvm I'm being dense, looks like it's the Gameboy disc on Gamecube. Thought it was the cartridge plugged into the N64...

Jip, Gameboy disc on Gamecube.

If the colors are off, they gave me secondhand POS cable. Like not enough red is coming through.

Got another R17 one from PlayAsia, same effect.

On subject I am still looking for a cheap way to get Component > HDMI for my PS2 (Not Composite)

Takealot has none and there is sooo many $20 ones on Amazon that I have no idea which is the better of the lot.

I tried Takealot and the N64 to HDMI converters for R499. Was a mess and 0% quality

Exactly my problem/worry.

There is one potential

https://www.amazon.com/Kaico-Playstation-Converter-Component-Adaptor/dp/B06XBV1L8Q/

They also make

https://www.amazon.com/Source-Converter-SCART-Component-Gaming/dp/B07QF95QP3/

So might be worth it... needs more research as the last PS2 to HDMI I got was dog crap.

Let me know if you ever find a decent solution.

Also have the PS2 and might want a solution in the future.

Sweet.

That reminds me, I have a bunch of games I'm probably going to offload soon. N64 stuff as well.
