Nintendo GameCube Component Video Cable (Digital AV Out)

Nintendo’s official DOL-013 component cable for the GameCube Digital AV Out port, outputting 480p progressive YPbPr. Only the DOL-001 revision has the port — the 2004 DOL-101 removed it. Genuine cables are rare and expensive.

Notes & Compatibility

DOL-001 only. Turn the console over: if there is no second port beside the A/V Multi Out, you have a DOL-101 and this cable cannot be used. Original DOL-013 cables are collector items priced accordingly. Many games need the progressive-scan option selected at boot or in the game’s display menu. For the same signal path at a sane price, use a Carby or EON GCHD MK-II and take HDMI out instead.
