I have an NTSC gamecube and first was wondering if there exists instructions on modding it to to display RGB on my Sony PVM RGB monitor (a great guy made me a SCART RGB to 1084/db9 cable that works great with my other SCART RGB cables like SNES and Genesis2). I guess this involves hacking the cube itself or a component video cable (I have it and a cube with digital port) ? Will a PAL cube work with my USA power cable?

Or, should I just buy a PAL Gamecube and use a SCART RGB cable? Will my gameboy player work in a PAL cube since it is from the USA?

NTSC units can have RGB output only with the hacked component cable.

You mean the power supply? I have a JPN and a Euro Gamecube and I can use either power supply without problems.

Do you need a disc to use the GB player??? If it's so then it could be region locked.

so all PAL Gamecubes need for RGB is the system itself and an RGB cable?
Where is there a tutorial on hacking an NTSC cube's composite video cable for RGB

It seems so, but I never tried so I'm not 100% sure.

About the Gameboy player? The actual hardware is not region locked. The disk that boots the Gamecube into GBA mode is, however. So if it's important to you to have a color-coordinated player unit, you can get a JPN-region spice player and use an EU-region boot disk on your EU-region Gamecube and it should all work together. That involves owning more than one GB Player, usually.
