Game Cube Spice in a CRT monitor.

[Control_Pad]

Hi them, I'm new in the forum, I have the GC Spice modded for usa games with the HDTV cable modded to vga and connected in a 17" Apple CRT (yes, progressive scan enabled) monitor. I have a 23" tft, but I can't connect the GC to this Somebody know how can I do it? I need an ADC-VGA conversor, but it's expensive ($350).

Coming soon, I want to get a 5.1 device like Logitech Z-680 to play RE4 Works fine this speakers in DPLII? Actually I get the output GC sound via Soundsticks from the Mac, sounds cool but only in 2.1...

Up!

Now THAT is one tidy desk. In my room, you can't see the desk. And i've made space in the mountain of stuff to be able to see the monitor. and move my mouse 1 inch in each direction. More than enough.

Hehe, I have the same CRT (the one on the right):

Wow, you've got like the Mac Home.

BTW, how well does the TFT handle 640x480? If not well then don't bother since that's what gamecube will be running at.

And why must apple have a proprietary connection in the first place?

I'm pretty sure new Apple lcds have standard connectors.

Found an article that said they had proprietary, then they switched to vga, then back to proprietary. I guess PCs won't be using those large apple LCDs.

There are adapters to use those large Apple displays on PCs. The connector Apple uses has the advantage that it's only one cable, no extra power cable needed.

And those adapters cost like $300.
BTW, how can it only have one cable? Does the computer supply power? That's quite a drain on the power supply.

Really no problem for PowerMacs.

Pure Signal

When you need to manipulate color in any media, image distortion is simply not an option. Analog conversion problems caused by a VGA connection become progressively worse as you move to monitors that have higher resolutions or longer monitor cables. These issues fade away with an all digital signal. DVI transmits a distortion-free digital signal from a digital location in the graphics card to a digital location on the display’s screen. This digital connection gives you the full clarity and stability of liquid crystal technology — with sharp, clear pixels from edge to edge.

Oh and it's not only one cable for the display signal and the power supply, it has firewire and USB in there as well.

Nonsense.
Why spread crap like this?

There is no problem at all using the 20 and 23 inch Cinema Displays with PCs. The 30 inch model however requires the dual DVI connection due to its 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, and the abysmal bandwidth of DVI.

Just telling what the article said, it said apple went vga during the G4 days but after that went proprietary again.

And there is some truth to that, and a story. I'm sorry about my tone.
However, it is not the case today. PCs can use the Cinima Displays just fine, with the exception of the 30" one that can only be driven by special Apple versions of the GF6800 and X800XT cards, and possibly (here I'm going on hearsay) some "workstation" versions of PC compatible cards (Quadro/FireGL).

Even the older ADC connector for digital displays could be easily converted, since it was a superset of vanilla DVI.

But today, vanilla DVI is what Apple uses. Just plug 'em in.

Well that's good.

BTW, the keyboard in front of control pad's monitor is really small, and those speakers look nice for just stereo speakers. Typical stereo pc speakers really suck, you usually have to buy one with a subwoofer to get something decent.
And those speakers look like the viewsonic sp2002 speakers, similar looking design.

That's the keyboard that comes with all Macs. I have the same on my picture. His 23" display let's it look that small.

This keyb not comes with all Macs , the default keyb comes with cord, this is bluetooth, the same with the mouse


Actually, all Apple tft monitors comes with a standard DVi connection switchable with pc's. You can choose from 20" to 30" tft's.

To Fox5, my speakers are 2.1, and not sux ;-) works very cool and the design can't be better. And not are only a PC speakers, because only works with a Mac with USB port.

Here some pics with my old 17" monitor.

¿Viewsonic similar to Soundsticks?

I don't think so

 

[Fox5]

That is a cool looking subwoofer! I had no idea what it was at first, I was wondering why you had a bong on your desk...
