Just curious, who's "we"?
ShockSlayer and I did this run.
GCVideo is open-source but most people can't be asked to buy boards and all of the components and solder them on themselves. Mega's GCVideo is a board re-deisgn and a few other things to make it as seamless as possible to install in a GameCube.
Anyone can buy the boards and components themselves and buy a programmer to flash the firmware on but if you're only going to use one it's usually cheaper and easier to buy it from someone else.
We'd be doing runs of these mainly for Wii portables since AFAIK analog Wii firmware is a BitBuilt exclusive at the moment.
And why aren't they in more official production yet?
No one (except Mega) is going to produce GCVideo all the time because it's DIY install, hence the reason Mega is doing installs himself or offering kits. With the exception of our little community here at BitBuilt and the wonderful people over at GC-Forever, there's not much of a demand for GCVideo Lite boards because no one knows what they are or how to install them. The main reason we'd get a use of them here is because it allows us to use VGA on most consoles (Wii and GC for example) so we can hopefully move away from composite video in portables as a whole.
We could put them on the store and always have them stocked but there's not much of a demand for them so it's better to do them in small runs and sell of the extras (we had more than 6 obviously but more than half went to our own personal projects
) that way everyone gets a chance to get the boards if they so desire and we don't have to have $50 products collecting dust
Best part about it is the GCVideo works across multiple consoles so it can be targeted at many audiences.
