    GameCube Digital AV converter

  • For one I would personally avoid Kaico alltogether, they are notorious cloners who take designs from others and pass them off as their own without even crediting the original creators. Secondly their product quality is often below of what other, more credible manufactours have to offer. Pretty much all of these digital out HDMI adapters are based on the open source GC-Video project. One product that I would recommend is the Retro-Bit Prism, it's the one that I personally use and had no issues with so far. One advantage of this particular adapter is its USB-C Port which allows for easy firmware updates without requiring a JTAG flasher or a GameCube that can boot into homebrew, just plug it into your PC and update. The Carby from Insurrection Industries is another great option. Whatever you go with I'd also recommend 3D printing a matching support brace. These adapters are quite heavy, esp. with an HDMI cable plugged in, and weigh down somewhat heavily on the digital out port. These braces hold the adapters upright and prevent, or minimize, any wear on the port from heavy weight.
