Shortly after the 2018 Portland Retro Gaming Expo, Eon announced a follow-up to the original GCHD, designed to address concerns some had over the original while maintaining what made the original so amazing. Additionally, they collaborated with Dan Kunz, aka Citrus3000PSI, one of the best when it comes to HDMI Mods. The result is the GCHD MKII, featuring three different colors, a component video output that utilizes the much cheaper Wii component video cables, an analog audio output, and all the same killer features of the original, and more.

The unit we are reviewing here was provided for us by Ryan at CastlemaniaGames. One of the cool things is that if you use Promo Code RoX10 you can save 10% off the cost of the MkII if you order through CastlemaniaGames! How cool is that? Ryan sent us an indigo GCHD MkII, to match the color of our NTSC System. I've petitioned Eon Gaming for a Spice Orange version for my Japanese GameCube, but I don't think that'll be coming anytime soon.

Removing the MkII from the box, and I love that it is the same box as the original, I plugged it right into my GameCube with a resounding "Snap". With the HDMI cable connected to my EZ Cap 284, I took a few moments to pair my OSSC Remote to the unit, go through the settings menu, and get things ready to play.
First up was a pair of Game Boy Advanced games, using my Hori Pad. I actually don't play my GBA Games often so I just use the standard Game Boy Player disc for the GameCube. I thought that the picture looked really good, although I thought Donkey Kong Country actually looked a little sharper and less blurry.

Next up was actual GameCube games, and man, this thing looks AMAZEBAWLS! From Star Wars: Rogue Squadron to Mario Kart: Double Dash, and of course Smash Bros Melee, everything looked fantastic. The controls felt spot-on, without any lag or latency introduced. One thing I am really interested in trying, and this will be featured in a future video, is using my Wii Component Cables with my OSSC to try some 2x, 3x, 4x, and even 5x line multiplying!
