Would anyone mind bringing me up-to-date...?

Point taken, although I picked-up the component cable for a (comparative) song. I've seen them change hands on eBay.co.uk for £145; whereas, for £230, I acquired a multi-region NTSC GameCube with matching controller and GBA Player, the official GameCube modem, a 251-block memory card and a component cable - all boxed, and in mint condition. I was happy with that...

... and for a further £300, I picked-up a job-lot of 38 NTSC GameCube games, all of which are boxed, and all but a couple of which are in mint condition. So, I did okay, I reckon.


Sincerely, though, if the day comes when Dolphin emulates the GameCube perfectly, it will not be a sad one for me - it will be a magnificent one.
