Just copped a GameCube, need some help and advice

[CourtesyFlusher]

I'm playing it on a HD tv and the graphics look way crappier and rough around edges then I remember. Now granted I'm coming off an Xbox 360, but someone mentioned HD Tvs kill old school graphics. So should I be playing on a crappy old tv? Or can I get an HD adapter for the GameCube?

Also, what games do u guys recommend? I got it with Timesplitters 2 (like goldeneye, pretty sick so far), tony hawk 4 and Twilight princess. What other piff is there?

Go head and get that ncaa 2k2/2k3 or w/e. Great game. Put your hdtv on a native setting and see if it helps

CRT's are the best tv's for old consoles. It would look sloppy on HDTV.

By the way .....playing old consoles on an HDTV....is the main reason why I actually like the HD remakes trend...It looks like a mess in most cases.

Have to have an older gamecube model and a list of games that take advantage tho.

Very few cube games supported 16x9 also.

List of Nintendo GameCube games with 480p and 16:9 support - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should have probably just got a Wii IMO. Could have copped one for about $20 more than a gamecube and have a much bigger library as well as modding capabilities.

Get Resident Evil 4...

Hey Courtesy...I'm sure your tv should be a mode on your television that changes the screen from stretched out widescreen to the normal 4:3 with bars on the sides? Try it out.

if you have a laptop with a decent graphics card I suggest using that to emulate the games...I run gamecube and wii games on mine in 1080p native graphics

What kind of control you use, and would it work for a macbook?
