Nintendo Gaming / RE:Progressive Scan: A bunch of Questions!

« on: August 22, 2004, 03:20:47 AM »

My monster cables has 4 connectors. Two audio, one video, and another one that sort of looks like ps/2 socket for a mouse?

I had no idea I risked my monitor. It's brand new(1 month) and I would be gutted if I wrecked it. So, any cable that lets me attach my gamecube to the monitor is good enough for progressive scan? It doesn't have to be a special type of VGA connector?

Nintendo Gaming / Progressive Scan: A bunch of Questions!

Hey there, first post from a relatively new GCN owner that is doing his best to catch up. I got my gamecube about a month ago and I've since picked up a pile of games:

1080(in the mail)
Def Jam: Vendetta
Eternal Darkness
Extreme G3
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Mortal Kombat: Dealy Aliiance
Naruto 2 Gekitou Ninja Taisen
Pitfall: The Lost Expidition
Roadkill
Soul Calibur II
SSX3(in the mail)
Super Mario Sunshine
Tony Hawk's Undergound
The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition
Viewtiful Joe

and I'm damn pleased with what I have so far!  I've been thinking about the whole progressive scan thing and I'm confused about some things.

Are all Gamecube machines Progressive Scan compatible?

I've seen a few VGA Adpater that lets you connect your GCN to a monitor, does this let you take advantage of Progressive Scan, or does it depend on the adapter?

I have been using 'Monster Cables' with my machine, would these let me take adavantage of Progressive Scan via my monitor and one of these 'VGA Adapters'?

How much of a quality increase would be noticeable?

Any and all information will be totall appreciated!
