humm maybe i shouldn't have swapped some stuff for a gamecube Q missing its cables. So i was thinking about buying one of the Nintendo component cables (despite the price) but a friend suggested that the Q one is different to the GC one. i've never noticed 2 versions before... is this correct? thanks for help
Pretty certain it's exactly the same Digital AV port as any other Gamecube (before they were removed).
On another forum a user says the Q does not support DVD playback through the digital out port, only through the composite output. For GameCube only, I'm pretty sure they both use the same ports. (source: http://nfggames.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1262.0)
Isn't it just a DVD player and a gamecube in the same case with some clever switching going on? In which case the gamecube specific digital out is unlikely to get DVD playback. I was under the impression some of the audio outputs were hooked up only to the DVD player. If you look closely at the picture, it says (GAME) or (DVD/CD) next to some of the ports.
