Does melee have lag with unofficial av cables?

So up until now i have been playing melee on a wii and finally decided to buy a gamecube. problem is that the console i bought didnt come with any cables so i just had to buy a cheap unnoficial power supply and av cables from ebay. does anyone know if this is going to cause any problems with playing melee such as more lag than official cables?

I don't think it would. I've never tried third-party cables, but the power supply either supply wouldn't ever cause lag (it either supplies sufficient power or doesn't), and the cables are essentially just wiring that don't have to convert or upscale the signal (so I dunno what could cause lag on that end). Your picture quality might be a bit poor, but I don't think it'll introduce any lag.

Those cables don't introduce any input lag. In fact, if you buy a video cable with SCART or s-video output (assuming that your TV accepts either), you're gonna get better picture quality than with the original AV cables.
