Will any of these mods work with gamecubes lacking digital output?

Open nikitalita opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Which of these mods can be installed in a gamecube lacking digital output? Is it still possible to install the HDMI mod on one?

It is not in the FAQ and I have been googling, but the only results I see are talking about how people don't actually know if gamecubes without digital av out are compatible with the HDMI one, so I figured I would ask here.

It is technically possible and I think I've seen pictures of an installation online, but it requires advanced soldering skills as you need to solder directly to the pins of the video encoder and/or tightly spaced vias on the PCB. Unfortunately I don't have any references available with more information.

I notice that there is a digital out mod for the DOL-101 here: https://castlemaniagames.com/products/gamecube-dol-101-digital-port-upgrade-kit

The solder points on the ribbon cable, are these the solder points that the HDMI mod requires?
