How Can you play old game consoles on newer tv's?
I bought a newer TV recently and instead of having the normal composite output (yellow, white, red), green is now one of those colors. Would I still be able to hook up something like a GameCube to this TV or do I need to buy something specific?

Many HDTV's no longer accept the yellow composite connections.
Remember that standard def is from 1948 and looks HORRIBLE on a modern HDTV display. It was the number one reason people used to return their HDTV.
Read your manual. Sometimes the TV will let you plug Composite into the GREEN input and it will properly detect the standard def feed. But most of the time not.
Some AV Receivers will do "HDMI Conversion". Feed yellow composite + red/white analog and the AV Receiver will convert to digital and send it out the HDMI jack.

One of the red/green/blue component video inputs will work with your yellow video cable, then you plug the red/white audio cables in next to that input you use. Your tv may have a yellow dot or square around one of the r/g/b inputs, if so use that. If not try each till one works.
