PAL Gamecube and VGA cables?

[KeepGood]

Everytime I've found the Gamecube VGA cable up for sale, they have said its only for the NTSC model cubes due to the lack of RGB output on a PAL cube.

Whats the deal, the PAL cube outputs RGB perfectly?

Are they telling porkies or what?

The PAL GC outputs RGB (15kHz, low-res) on the multi-AV port.

The NTSC (JP + US) GC outputs no RGB on this port.  

BOTH systems can output RGB on the digital port using the custom Nintendo DAC found in Nintendo's component-video cable.  Here's the important part:

PAL software does NOT support progressive video.  Because of this the digital port does not ever output hi-res video, so using the VGA cable will not work.  It's not a hardware limitation, it's a software issue.

Finally a straight forward answer.  Thanks.

So am I correct in thinking, using a freeloader disc and import US/JAP games would solve my problem?

If so, do you know where the custom Digi-A/V cables can be purchased, Lik-Sang used to have them but I cant find them there anymore.

I believe so, but please have it confirmed before you spend the money.

Those VGA cables shouldn't be at all hard to find; if you can't find a cheap one from an asian dealer I'd be happy to charge you way more to make one for you.  Sadly I ask more for labour than chinese slave women.  ;(

LoL

I'm going to get a freeloader and some import games anyway. :-)

When I have a VGA cable. I'll post my findings.
