what can hook up through component.

[mindlesspunk77]

ok so i saw at gamestop today they have component selectors where you can hook up up to 4 systems through component. my question is what other than my wii and 360 is it possible to get cables for. i know i can get them for gamecube but theres no point. and i know same with xbox but i dont use it cause of the 360. and im not buying a ps3. does ps2 have component cables? or dreamcast? maybe jaguar? i dunno thanks in advance.

PS2, GC, XBOX, X360, Wii, and PS3 supports Component.

Dreamcast supports Component thru a VGA/Component converter (I don't think it's cheap).

Neo-Geo AES also supports Component thru modding (for the True Neo-Geo experience).

Almost every console from Master System on forward can be modded for component, and/or hooked up in component via SCART and a converter.

ohh ok i dont need to go that hardcore hahah. just wanted to see if anything before last gen stuff could be just with regular cables

The converted SCART method is pretty easy, except that the converters don't support sound, so you have to do a mod to wire the sound out. But it's super easy for systems like Genesis and 3DO that have headphone jacks.

Yeah, I don't think I would mod anything for component these days, I'd just bite the one-time cost of a RGB->YPrPb convertor & load up on SCART cables & SCART switchboxes.
