This still available? Also any advice on the best cable to convert to the new TV's, I've just got an N64 with the standard cables and I really can't play it the picture is so bad. I feel like my brain has just been pumped up with petral fumes. lol Any help much appreciated. @lejackal @edd_jedi Sorry just seen the date, certainly not available. lol

@theforceuk the N64 is a tricky one as it used blurring to 'improve' the picture on old TVs. Even with a decent cable a standard N64 still looks pretty terrible on a modern TV without modding it to remove the blurring and give you clear pixels. So the best option is to buy an old CRT TV, but if you don't want to go down that route and your modern TV doesn't have SCART, this will give you the best picture:

Thanks, sorry to be annoying but will the leads I already have be ok? Thanks @edd_jedi

 

[lejackal]

Kaico do one buy how much better or worse it is than the one Edd linked to I don't know

 

[edd_jedi]

If by standard cables you mean either RF (aerial) or AV (red/yellow/white) then they are not really good enough and you won't see much benefit from the modded console. You really need either SCART or HDMI. A decent SCART cable is only about £10, but depends if your TV has it. If you only have HDMI, either get the one I posted or something similar.

 

[theforceuk]

Last question I hope!? Do I need a certain jump pack or can I put an Expansion pack in? @edd_jedi @lejackal

 

[lejackal]

Err, I don't think the jumper or expansion makes a difference in terms of which cable but you need the expansion for Donkey Kong and it improves a few of the Star Wars games. There's a number of titles it makes better or is required for. Edd can probably real them off

 

[theforceuk]

Thanks @lejackal yeah I just want to make sure the expashion pack works with the custom N64.

 

[edd_jedi]

The expansion pack doesn't affect which cables you need and I don't think it stops any games working, as Lejackal says just improves a few

Thanks I just got a bit confused with the email the seller on eBay sent me. Bloody expensive this retro gaming!
