here is the list I found for all compatible cards.
Strangely similar to the list I posted a couple of months ago:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,158281.msg1664929.html#msg1664929That's not all of them, there are other cards too, basically any card of that era with TV-out is potentially component-compatible (hint, check s-video style round plug they usually have, if there are 4 pinholes then it most likely is component-capable). There were a lot of other cards with TV-out (eg 9200 and X1050), including some Nvidia cards from the period.
The problem for retrogaming is that those cards do component out only for certain resolutions/modes, even when you take it out of the VGA/DVI head. You match the mode to the dip-switch positions, typically 480i for SDTV or higher for HDTV/projectors. That means that all you get is a relatively crappy interlaced 640x480i, with all your mame games squeezed into that.
What you
could do to make it much much better is to
run a driver like Powerstrip, or soft15khz or CRT_emudriver on the video card as well, which gives you direct control over the video modes. Unfortunately iirc most/all of the Nvidia cards couldn't go below certain resolutions without line-doubling (double-thick lines) which looks even worse, you lose a lot of detail. So you were pretty-much limited to using the ATI Radeon cards for component retrogaming goodness.
Back in the days before Sailorsat came up with Soft15khz I did it with an ATI Radeon Sapphire 9600 card and Powerstrip. It looked great! But then I discovered there were heaps of SCART TVs in Australia and I fell in love with RGB.
Even nowadays with CRT_emudriver, it really only works on ATI/AMD cards.
