    Default what can hook up through component.

    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.

    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.
