Does anyone know of a way to play Nintendo Gamecube on a mac? I'm actually looking for a way to capture and convert video from various games on my gamecube, into a format that I can save as video for a Keynote Presentation. Thanks for all the help. Aloha - Jason

You can plug the video-out cable from the GC into a FireWire video converter box, but gameplay-wise it will be difficult because there will be a small delay in getting the video to the computer screen. Your best bet is to split the video before going into the box, taking one path to the TV and one path to the box. That way you can play while watching the real-time version on TV but have your Mac record the slightly-delayed conversion.

Thanks Brad!! I've got a Canopus Digital Converter that I'm hoping will do the trick...just hope the video quality doesn't drop off too much. Thanks again. Aloha - Jason p.s. Is this the best way to capture clips from the gamecube that I want to use, or do you by any chance know of a better method that will provide improved results?

The Canopus is about the best gear for the job, the 55 or 100 will be just the ticket.
