Sorry guys, I know this probably shouldn't be here but I figured I should post it here and in th HTPC forum since my question is related to boath.
Been looking into buying a Nintendo GameCube and would like to connect it to my computer monitor (since I don't have a HDTV!). There are available modded VGA cables that allow you to use the consoles digital port to connect it directly to a PC monitor.
However there is an official cable from Nintendo called a D-Terminal cable. It looks like an VGA cable to me but I've reading something about it being similar but not identical to a VGA cabel. It's supposed to compatible with a D terminal TV.
Now, can anyone tell if this D-terminal will be compatible with my PC monitor??
EDIT: Not sure if this will help but here is the descripton of it on ign.com:
The D Terminal cable is similar but not identical to the VGA cables used for PC monitors and digital televisions in the US. GameCube owners with a compatible D Terminal TV will be able to input a 480p progressive scan signal, which offers a picture with more density and clarity.
