I recently obtained a better component capture card and wanted to test it out. So, here's Wii Component video compared to GameCube component video.
The first clip is the Wii with Corneria playing. The second clip is the GameCube with Star Wolf playing.
Yes, I used homebrew to load a backup (I ripped) of my legal copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. AFAIK I didn't fiddle with the video settings in either homebrew method. I then used an Elgato Game Capture HD to record the footage at 640x480, placed the clips side by side and uploaded the footage. If it's that important, I used a USB 2.0 mini-usb cable.
See the results for yourself.

Terminator 3: The Redemption cutscenes AI upscaled to 4K using Topaz Video AI v4.0.4. Movie clips from the game have been replaced with their 1080p counterparts due to processing constraints.
Obviously, this isnt real 4K. The goal here is to make image look better than it was, maybe even like a seventh generation tech demo e.g. FF7.
For this particular project, non-CG scenes from the movie are replaced with their 1080p counterparts due to time constraints. All scene transitions are made to match the games version of the movie as closely as possible.

Really happy with how this run turned out. Im very clearly making progress. Avoiding damage from the dogs shouldnt be too hard to incorporate. I still need to work on the Ivys as I could have run past the first one in the upper Main Hall but didnt because my health was close (due to the dog and earlier Ivys). Overall pretty good, but hoping to iron out the aforementioned mistakes for a sub 3.
Performed on Dolphin 5.0-21088 with an official Wii U GameCube adapter and original NGC controller.")
