PAL Gamecube

Why isn't it possible to run PAL gamecubes in pro-scan? Mine has digital output due to it being a fairly old PAL GC, but im told it still won't do pro-scan even if I find a component/VGA cable. Is it due to PAL games not being coded in pro-scan, or because newer PAL gamecubes don't have the digital output?

Thanks, Phil

YES. A mystery why they felt Erupean gamers wouldn't have any interest in pro scan, the games look way better 480p IMO, especially when playing on the projector.
