Progressive Scan Trouble on GCN

[Naraku_Diabolos]

I'm one of the few that bought the Nintendo GCN Composite Cable. Well, I've had it set up for awhile (since the end of last year on my new HD TV) and I found a Composite Channel on the TV. Well, without Progressive Scan, my picture for all of my games are CLEAR. And I mean, clear.

One of my friends rented a stupid Medal of Honor (which I hate armor games) and we played it on my GCN. Well, to tell you the truth, the picture quality for that game sucked badly. Really blocky.

Anyways, does anyone know how a picture is supposed to look like when you have Progressive Scan enabled? Note, I have a COMPOSITE Channel on my HD where I can see my screen very clear with my games. No fuzzy spots at all and I'm playing Pokemon XD as we speak.

When I enable the Progressive Scan on the Composite Channel, my screen goes out of whack and has these diagonal bars that are cutting up the image.

My HD TV is a Philips and it is able to go Progressive. Why isn't it working then?

When I get some replies on how to fix the screen image, I will be entirely thankful to the person who helps me with it. Then this thread can be locked when I get the answer.

Composite? You mean the Red, Yellow and White cables? Well there's your answer, you need COMPONENT cables which are Red, Blue and Green.

Okay, okay I'm just yanking ya. I'll help you out.

When you boot the GameCube on, MAKE SURE that you hold down the B button. You'll be prompted to enable progressive scan, say yes. The rest should be gravy from there.

Yes, I mean Component >.< lol

I tried that, but wavy bars pop-up on the HD screen and the picture is blurred with wavy lines...

I'll have to look at the back of the TV again or look at the HD TV's instruction book.

Not all games are in progressive scan format. If you have a game that is not designed for progressive scan, the image quality would be poor. Look at the game box in the back to see if it has a Progressive Scan symbol...

Hope this helps..
