Is this for the HDMI solution that doesn't require maiming the GameCube, as in just a cable?
I came in here hoping for an update on this!

That's probably for the internal boards. The external mod was supposed to be some months after IIRC.
Will probably cost more, but also won't require installation which will make it cheaper in the end.

After my web provider pulling everyones free webspace & me losing all my collection pics online i have finally re uploaded them all to a new host so the broken image links in my previous collection post should be working again.
Found a few more to upload, my main cube i use to game on which is a FFCC competition prize gamecube one of the 150 produced for the contest in Dengeki magazine.
All my controllers that i bought using my points through the years from club nintendo.
Very nice GameCube!

I would get it at that price if it was in really good shape. Seems like a fair price.
It sucks that Half Price Books knows what they have these days. I used to be able to get super awesome deals there.

Yea this is way too common on eBay. I wanted to get a copy of Rush 2049 for Dreamcast and the prices were all over the place. I prefer to see the game in person now as eBay sellers don't follow the guidelines when posting and will say everything is very good or mint condition and send you a destroyed disc. Not to rub it in or anything but I bought it new back in the day for $30 and it is a great title. A complete copy is just case, manual, disc and case art no extra pamphlets. I say if the disc is mint or close to it and it has the manual grab it.

GC Video demonstration from Bad Ass Console
Weird, the chroma subsampling artifacts look really bad in the middle 240p example, but not the GBP example. Maybe the game is rendering at native res in the GC's YUV frame-buffer.

I'm having trouble grasping what I'm looking at... Forced DVD? What does that mean?

Pretty sure the "forced" is associated with the "240p" bit, not the "DVD" bit.
I still don't understand. What is the origin and format of the material shown in each column?

I have no concrete answer, but if I had to hazard a guess, it's comparing the same areas in Zelda 2, using the Zelda Collector's Disc and the GBA NES Classic rerelease, with the first column being at native 480p and the second being at forced 240p (probably via Swiss or something). It's comparing image quality, most likely.
"DVD" probably just being the upscaler or capture method they used.

Ah, I think I got it. Thanks. It would have been easier for them to just say "Collector's disc 480p/240p Vs. GBP 240p" for a more complete comparison, GBP 480p should have been done. There has to be a reason the sub sampling artifacts are more pronounced from the forced disc compared to the forced GBP like Sheepy said.
Apparently, forcing GBP games to 240p is the best quality image output.
They are likely using the third party utility that makes the GBP perform well.
I'm aware of that. However, the sub sampling artifacts are on all of them. Yet they are far more pronounced on the disc based game forced into 240 than the GBP forced to 240. It's unexpected to see that.
I tried installing the GBI yesterday, but my gamecube wouldnt recognize the sd card Using the SD Media Launcher software bundle sold from Datel here:http://uk.codejunkies.com/Products/SD-Media-Launcher__EF000580V.aspx
Have anybody else had any troubles using this?

You need an old non-SDHC card. Newer cards just don't work when launching apps on the media launcher.
I think it is a non-SDHC card, but is there an easy way to check?
Ok, irritated but also glad to hear this. Would you link me to one that is good?
Im in Norway just on the other side of the pond and also outside Europe!
Heh well I'll see how much postage is later. If it's more than £2 it isn't worth it when they cost £4 on ebay
Ok, thanks anyways!
Is your card over 2GB?
4gb.
Yeah, you don't have the right card then. Non-SDHC =/<2GB.
Keep in mind though that new SDHC cards can be 2GB. However, I've never seen a non-SDHC be bigger than 2GB.
What's the best version of this to get?

Awesome. I'm ready to say hello to my GameCube again (can't bear to play in 480i and can't afford the component cables).

Very nice!
This pic just shows how much I hate 480i!!!
That's not what 480i looks like on a CRT though.
Nope, it's missing the all-important eyeball burning sensation that 480i offers on a CRT.
Lol... Yes, yes it is.
