Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
All Gamecube models have a multi-out A/V connector in the back. The A/V cables that came with the system include the standard red white and yellow (composite video) connectors. This same connector is also used by the Super Nintendo and the Nintendo 64. You can use the standard A/V cables that are included with the Gamecube and connect them to your recording equipment to get video footage that is acceptable for SDA. While the standard A/V cables that come with the Gamecube are composite video, the Gamecube is also capable of outputting S-Video. Nintendo did not release an official S-Video connector for the Gamecube, however you can purchase a third party set of cables that includes it. S-Video provides superior picture clarity and quality and it is strongly preferred over composite video.

Recording at 480p
The SNES-101 redesign does not have any significant differences from the original SNES in terms of reliability or functionality. One notable drawback to the SNES-101 is not capable of outputting an S-Video signal like the original SNES is. While your recording will still be of an acceptable quality, S-Video is ideal. This is why we generally recommend the original SNES model.
