The CPU (marked CPU AGB A) on the bottom of the board is the same as the CPU in the original Gameboy Advance. At the back is the Gamecube connector/interface, at front right are various voltage regulators and lastly at front left is the CPU and ancillary components. There are three main areas of interest on the board. They may not work if repeated on other board revisions. I've seen photos of boards marked DOL-GBS-01 and DOL-GBS-10 which are slightly different for this project I'll only be describing information and modifications for the DOL-GBS-20. Opening up the case revealed a single PCB, shielded with metal casing. It connected via the accessory port and a boot disc provided the software to allow the Gamecube to interface with it, providing control, video and audio output.įor my project I'm working with a European (UK) version. My efforts to ask for technical documentation have had mixed results, fans believe it has little practical use.The Gameboy Player accessory allowed Gamecube owners to play Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Color and Gameboy games via their console. I've never seen hard proof of a composite video NTSC/PAL (either direction) color encoding mod for the Gamecube. The PAL Gamecube does output RGB, but it's PAL.

And since a stock PAL Gamecube can output 60Hz, you're good to go (at least for RGB). If you're using RGB output, the only thing that will matter is if it's 50 or 60Hz. So for the people that import a PAL GCN to get RGB output for the Gameboy Player, are they just using it on a display that can handle PAL?Īnswer: Unlike composite video, RGB is neither PAL or NTSC. Are those the only video output options (resolutions aside) that the PAL GCN can do? Can it be forced to output NTSC somehow? When I Googled, I didn't find any NTSC mods for it. I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for in Google searches.īest I can tell, the PAL Gamecube will output PAL50, but it can apparently output PAL60 as well. I've heard a number of people say on the Internet that you can use a PAL Gamecube in NTSC land to get RGB output for the Gameboy Player, but I'm confused about how to accomplish this.

So the NTSC (U/J) Gamecube does not output RGB.
