Please note: on newer models of the Nintendo GameCube, the necessary port for connecting the Component Video Cable was removed. For more information on this, including what to do if you wish to play your games in progressive scan, please click here.

Displaying a Game in Progressive Scan Mode:
In order to display a game in progressive scan mode, the Nintendo
GameCube game being played must be programmed for progressive
scan and your TV has to have the ability to display
this signal in progressive scan mode (click
here for more information).
To display a game in progressive scan mode:
If the image appears scrambled when the game is set to progressive scan mode, your television may not be progressive scan compatible. Please consult your TV's owner's manual, or contact the manufacturer to find out if your television is able to display a progressive scan signal. If you have determined that your television can display a progressive scan signal, you may want to try our troubleshooting help by clicking here.
Note about accessing progressive scan: Almost all games that support this feature can be placed into progressive scan mode by holding down the B Button while powering on the system. A few games, however, require you to access this feature through the Options menu of the game. If you are not sure how to access the progressive scan signal, please consult the game manual of the particular disc you are trying to use.
Note about using progressive scan in the future: Once you have accessed progressive scan mode once, the next time you attempt to play a Nintendo GameCube game that is progressive scan-compatible, the system will remember this setting and will default to progressive scan for each game you play in the future that is progressive scan compatible.
