[quote name='negative_antimatter']So, just to clarify, how would a component cable on a gamecube running a gameboy game through the player have a particularly better resolution than the standard video cable? It's still just an 8-bit game...[/QUOTE]
Nothing *major* - but the GCN Component Cables allow the GameCube to output in Progressive Scan. As Game Boy/GBC/GBA Games are programed for the LCD screen on the Game Boy, they're already set to display a progressive image... Also, I think the colors are quite a bit sharper through Component, but that might not be the Component per say, that could just be my TV or such.
