Gamecube to PC

[Ethan232]

Is there some sort of adapter that i can use to hook my game cube to my computer?

Heh, we're gonna start seeing this question alot I bet. And I'm pretty sure I know why you want to know, so just be aware that aside from telling you what you need to connect them, members are not allowed to discuss cheats, exploits, etc.

Ok, with that out of the way, you will need:


BBA - Broadband Adaptor
Crossover cable (also called a patch cable.)


A crossover cable is used to allow 2 ethernet devices to communicate with each other. Modems, routers, hubs etc, are crosswired so you use a standard ethernet cable, but your pc nic and the BBA are not crosswired so the patch cable sets the pins so that the send and receive pins are repositioned.

LOL. connecting your GC to your PC has nothing to do with allowing you to watch TV and play PSO at the same time. I apparently misunderstood what you wanted to begin with, so ignore my previous post and do NOT purchase those items. (I was thinking you wanted to be able to have your GC communicate with your PC, my bad lol.)

If you want to be able to see PSO on your monitor so you can watch regular tv, then what you need is a capture device. A capture card will work well for you and is probably the cheapest route. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

what you need is a WinTV NTSC PCI Card on your pc, i use that to record wrestling matches to my pc, and some videos that i may like, also you can plug your gamecube to your WinTV Card and most of the cards include a software for recording/play, and the card i got was made on 1998 by "Hauppauge Computer Works" and doesnt bring the 3 outputs video cable, maybe you also going to need a RF Switch for plug the gamecube to the WinTV Card, maybe depends i really dont know if the new cards got a 3 inputs video cable (Yellow/White/Red).
