Why are these so damn expensive and why hasn't there been any cheap aftermarket knockoffs?

>> No.6829014

They were only sold by Nintendo directly on their website at a time far fewer people had use for them. Add in the traditional "Nintendo tax" and you have an expensive accessory.

I think there are other options but they themselves aren't cheap. It has to do with the port needing some kind of digital fingerprint that has to be reverse engineered. You can't just use any random wire.

So Super Mario Sunshine is a 30FPS game, but has a patch to play in real 60FPS on Nintendon't? What other GameCube games have 60FPS patches? What about widescreen hacks? Also, I heard enabling 'Native Controls' on the Wii eliminates input lag and is more accurate. Is it possible to go online with Phantasy Star and do LAN matches with Double Dash, Kirby Air Ride and 1080 Avalanche using Nintendon't?

Aren't most the widescreen hacks pretty bad since the games weren't designed with it in mind so you have assets pop in and out based around the 4:3 frame anyway?

yeah
>What other GameCube games have 60FPS patches?
idk, point is 60fps games on gamecube drop frames hard while they don't on wii
>What about widescreen hacks?
literally just an option in the menu of nintendont, just turn it on or off at your leisure

yes

yes and it doesn't cost $100 for a retarded adapter, you just use wifi.

Thanks. Is there an option to force GameCube games to render in 4:3 using Nintendon't even if you have your Wii set to 16:9 in the System Settings, and to remember those settings for each individual GCN game? I don't want to go into my Wii's System Settings to change the internal aspect ratio to 4:3 every time I want to play a GameCube game, then back to 16:9 when I want to play a Wii game.

The recent WiiDual mod not only gives the Wii lossless digital HDMI picture and audio, but it also improves the analog YPbPr Component video signal and adds RGBS output too, so it matches/exceeds the GameCube's 480p YPbPr picture quality using official Nintendo component cables.

Eh, anon, your organizing skills are shit.
On Wii you can have USBLoaderGX to scan and show GCN games with Wii games. It will automatically redirect and launch game in Nintendont without ever seeing Nintendont.
Even in Swiss you will put your games in separate folder for convenience and need to do significantly more clicks before game will start.

I think people that say this are people coping with their original OEM purchase. They looked the same to me for GCN games on a CRT and I have the OEM ones. Only problem is they can't do 360p GBA games using GBI so you can't do a 3x scale for 1080p on an LCD. I have the OEM ones hooked up to my OSSC and the Insurrection cables hooked up to my 20L5.

Not to mention even if you wanted to stick to shitty composite for everything you can get a retrotink mini for $70 and play any of your consoles on an HDTV, 0 lag, with actual decent looking video output.

Emulated memory cards are obviously cheaper and easier to manage than buying a bunch of real ones. The only reason to use real memory cards is if you regularly play real copies of your games on a GameCube or another Wii, or if you use the disc channel instead of Nintendont for speedrunning.

They're actually better than the OEM cables for anything besides GBI, because they interpolate the chroma, so subsampling artifacts are less prominent. It's a shame they didn't wait to make them until GCVideo 3.0 was available, because then they'd be perfect.
