Try score official component cables(third party cables were never made sadly). Expensive as hell but looks great really. I managed to score a set for $250AUS(about $185US) which is a relative bargain considering they sell for over $300US most of the time...

Lol those cables are worth that much now?  I have official component cables for the GC.  I believe they cost like 30 dollars back in the day.  I even got the GBA player add on for the GC with of course the disc that is needed for it to work.

A few years ago they were like $150, which is still stupid. Can't beat purism though - I am sure that a component-cable Wii playing GC games will output just as well. The only way to get component out of that GBA player (which is an awesome device) is the super expensive way, though.

If people here didn't know why exactly the cables are so expensive, it's because the Nintendo design is proprietary... I don't remember exactly how, but it makes the cables nigh on impossible to replicate.
