Gamecube to PC... again =P
hey,

I've been trying to connect my Gamecube to my PC monitor.

I tryed my luck with MayFlash's VGA box..
http://www.mayflash.com/xbox/xb008/xb008.asp

But the unit I got was faulty... and alot of people have said to me that I won't get the best quality as I would using a Capture Card.

So I got just a few questions before I waste anymore money.

I am planning on buying this Capture Card:
http://www.geniusnet.com.tw/product/....asp?pdtno=534

(Is 25 FPS For PAL ok for Gamecube games? Because Im Pal everything over here, PAL Gamecube/Games etc... It Won't lag will it?)

and a 3.5mm to 2 x RCA adapter audio:
http://202.21.128.20/photoserver/69/11771269_full.jpg

So my question, if I buy both of those will I be able to play Gamecube through the Capture Card to my monitor full screen?

If someone could comfirm this, That would be totally awesome

I would bypass the capture card and use an external VGA box to play your Gamecube on your PC monitor etc.

These all have RGB connectors..using an adaptor on the Monitor should be easy to find.
