I just got a Game Cube, so I could play Mario Golf and Zelda. I am also looking forward to Mario Double Dash.

I would like to have my cube hooked to my projector. My projector (InFocus X1) can only accept progressive singles like 480P. I have my Xbox all set, just cannot see the setup screens. I guess my question is…. Dose the cube “up convert” the image to 480P, even if the game is not in 480P? I would also like to get the GBA Player for the cube, and I know those games are not in 480P. Any ideas on this?

I do not think the GC upconverts at all. Best way to try it out would be to rent a game that you know is not 480P.

Yea, I just do not want to spen the money for the cables just to find out it will not work.

The Game Boy Player does run in 480p, although there's some flickering

No, it does do anything like that. If a GameCube game is not in 480p, it will be displayed on your projector at 480i.

Also, the first time you play a game with a 480p mode, remember to hold down the B button as you boot up the system. That will prompt the system to ask you if you would like to display the game in progressive scan mode. If you select YES the message will automatically appear each time you boot the system with a 480p capable game without the need to hold down the B button.

Actually I've found that on most games I've played you can improve or eliminate the flickering by twiddling the "Filter" option and seeing which one works best for you.

Also, my projector (Proxima X350) is similar to the X1 in that it doesn't properly handle 480i over the component/DVI. I find the GC's dual output setup (you leave your analog cables plugged into the analog-out when you put the component cables on the digital-out port) superior to the XBox in this way, as it means I don't have to reroute everything in order to play a 480i game, I can just switch to the S-Video input on my projector. I believe the X1 also has S-Video and composite jacks that you should be able to use in the same manner.
