Helloo!!!! people i don't knowww!!!! i got a good big pc monitor... my house is small and thers 2 comps in this SMALLA$$ room and no tv in here (i use media center & the tv tuner card that comes with the pc), but my computer has composite video/audio, and... well... I WANA PLAY GAMECUBE THROUGH MY PC MONITOR!! Yes, i do!

Well, i did have this thing called Dscaler if any of u knows what that is, which will let me watch tv and view things connected to the composite video/audio slots in my pc, but that thing is kinda buggy for me... the picture keep freezing n the audio still plays... or even sumtims it goes black and the audio still plays! I was wondering if anyone knows if theres a better way of doing this, or atleast better software i could download that is similar to DScaler, which will let me see stuff connected to the composite video/audio on my pc? IF ANY1 CAN PLZ HELP A NUB-A-DUB-DUB OUT HERE!

If you can find a card that support S-Video input then that may be all you need. Anything less and it'll look blurry.

One important thing to note is the TV card you get needs a software decoder, not hardware. If it has a hardware decoder, there will be a 2 second lag between anything the console does and what you see and hear on screen, which makes playing games impossible. It's fine for watching TV and the like, but you can't play a game when you're seeing what happened two seconds ago.
