GameCube/Wii on 30" Cinema Display?

I know it is possible, but I don't really know that much about video outputs/inputs or the need for conversion and what not.

I plan on using an XtremeMac 4-Port HD Switcher to connect my MacBook Pro, HD Satellite receiver, DVD player, GameCube, and eventually a Wii. I can manage with the converters for everything, but I've read that there are problems with resolution and such.

Is it at all possible to connect a GC or Wii to a 30" cinema display so that it's graphically/visually playable?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Without a dual link connection, the 30 inch cinema display will run at 1280x800 pixels. If the devices can output that then it should work.

As far as I know, there are some problems with providing any signal other than 1280x800 and 2560x1600 to the 30 inch cinema displays, but this is only secondhand knowledge.
