Not an answer, but a softmodded Wii using Nintendont can pretty much play all GC Games (as isos), while also force outputing (most of them) as 480p (
https://old.reddit.com/r/GCNintendo...intendont_play_all_games_at_480p_progressive/ ). This would be preferable in most cases (upscaling the image, less lag, no deinterlacing artefacts...). Less noise (?). You can turn it on and off from the couch...
A used Wii costs 50-60 USD (with controllers, Wiimote plus,...), and softmoding it is free. This component cable can be had for cheap (
https://www.amazon.co.uk/XCM-Xbox-Xbox1-Component-Cable/dp/B0056AABYY ) and isnt half bad (shielded), and currently the OSSC (80 USD) is a great line doubler/trippler/... that also can be had for 80 USD on Aliexpress (outputs HDMi, can be used to add scanlines, ... _great_ for the price, although better onces (deintelacing capability) will be available in the future (but not at 80 USD..
- so this is still the go to) ). All you'd need in addition to that is an sdcard. (Samsung Evo Plus or Evo Select, 128GB or higher, for optimal price/performance. (64GB has lower write speed.))
Functionality wise, this is the way to go.
edit: To softmod the Wii, use ModMii:

If its not about functionality - please ignore my post, and anyone who can fill the OP in, please do (still).
edit:
This Method also allows you to use cheats (using Nintendont), including 16:9 Widescreen cheats:
