N64 on LED HD TV
Hi guysI just picked up a N64 Charcoal Grey console (NUS-001 (EUR)). I've heard that it is difficult to get a good picture on the newer HD TVs. I know you can get a good picture through an s-video cable but on the back of my TV I have the following options...

What do I need apart from the s-video cable? Or is it better to get it rgb modded? I've just bought one of these Composite AV CVBS 3RCA to HDMI Video Converter Adapter 720/1080p HDMI Cable FT| eBay to see how it looks... Be interested to hear how you get on. Especially if there is any lag. Did this work? I've just uncovered my old Playstation (SCPH-1002) but neither of my TVs have any sort of AV connectivty. Right update. I purchased an s-video cable from console goods and a tendak s-video to hdmi converter. The picture is a massive improvement. Still not perfect on a HD tv but I don't think it ever will be unless you get the Ultra HDMI mod which costs in excess of £200. This is a good alternative and probably set me back £35 all in all. Plus I can use the adapter with other consoles should I need to. The alternative is to get an RGB mod and use a scart cable. That will probably set you back £80. Try the s-video to hdmi converter I've got. It works fairly well. How did you get on with this? Still waiting for it to arrive, estimate is between Mon & Weds next week. Will keep this thread updated data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 So it arrived, and it does a passable job - some strobing on the menus, but in game it doesn't seem noticeable (though I only tried Extreme G Racing). It doesn't do any kind of upscaling though, so although it is technically displaying in 720/1080 depending on which you choose, it looks pretty blurry, but again once you're playing you kind of forget.
For £6, I'm just pleased I can play my N64 on a modern tv, and for a nostalgia burst, that's all I want. If I really want to play through some N64 games, I'll still most likely use an emulator on my soft modded Wii.
