| 5 Minute Mod Man  | Re: How do I connect and play games on my PC through my GameCube? You just have to start your media center program as if you were going to watch TV on it. There should be some kind of option to select a different input or "source" ...  |

| 5 Minute Mod Man | Re: How do I connect and play games on my PC through my GameCube? Are you using the Media Center program to watch TV on this PC? If so, there must be some type of settings or setup wizard that you can run through to find the different source. Does your capture card just have RCA (Red/white/Yellow) connectors or does it also have a coax (cable) connector? I can't tell which tuner card you have, but you may want to check your devices and make sure it is enabled and has the proper drivers (this would only be necessary if you don't watch TV on it, if you already watch TV on it then it is installed, enabled and working properly). If that don't work, the only programs that I can think of of the top of my head are WinTV and SageTV (there are several Media Center programs out there). Just find one with a trial version or something. BUT the first step is making sure that tuner card is working... |

| Re: How do I connect and play games on my PC through my GameCube? MCE should be able to it. I haven't done this in a good two years, so I'm not entirely sure. - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - DFI Infinity 975X - 4GB Corsair XMS2 w/ DHX DDR2-800 - 250GB Seagate 7200.10RPM + 160GB Hitachi 5400.4RPM - ATi Radeon X1900XT 256MB - Cooler Master Centurion 5 + OCZ StealthXStream 600W - Acer 19" P191W Monitor - Logitech Z-5500 Digital + Logitech MX Revolution - Vista Ultimate x64 |

| T-Rex  | Re: How do I connect and play games on my PC through my GameCube? I highly recommend Dscaler. It's free, fast and most of all it has little to no lag compared to alot of other programs which include DVR like functions thus put lag. =) http://deinterlace.sourceforge.net You want to download Dscaler 4. Once it's downloaded and installed run it and go to Sources and select your source. You can fiddle then with the filters to get the sharpest image. =)  |
