Funnily enough, RGB is old tech! It's a form of analog video output that's known to retro gaming enthusiasts as the best form of analog video output that many retro systems are capable of. If you want to know more, check out this video by My Life in Gaming. it goes into more detail. They also have an N64 specific video if you want to check that out too. Regardless, I'll give you some very simplified cliff notes. Everything I'm saying assumes you live in the USA. If you don't let me know because things will change. Analog video consists of many different parts. As a general rule, the more things you combine into one cable, the worse you signal is.

RF Output - Plugs in like coaxial cables from TV antennas or cable. This is the absolute worst you can get for retro systems.

Composite - Very bad. It lumps everything together and is a hazy mess. Upside is most TVs still allow composite input because it was so common

S-Video - Vastly better than composite, separates the signal into two different wires within the plug. Downside is that modern TVs don't have this connection anymore. You can still use it with a Nintendo S-Video cable and an S-Video to HDMI adapter though.

RGB - Short for Red Green Blue, it separates everything into separate wires making it the best possible output. I believe this is the choice that will provide you the best visual quality for your money, but it involves more steps than the S-Video option above.

The Nintendo 64 is not directly capable of RGB output, but for early models of the system, it is very cheap and easy to add in. Check the serial number on the bottom of your Nintendo 64 and let me know what it is. Using the serial number we can take an educated guess as to whether or not it can be modded cheaply.

If it turns out your system CAN be easily modded, then your best bet is probably to send it to RetroFixes. At $50 for the basic mod, his service isn't the cheapest, but HD Retrovision has endorsed them as the best option for modding the N64 to use their cables, so that's peace of mind.

If your system CAN'T be cheaply modded, it can still get RGB, but you'll start to see diminishing returns on price and effort, and might just want to stick to the S-Video option above. For instance, RetroFixes mentions that this more complicated mod has an addition $50 charge. Another option for the most dedicated N64 Enthusiasts would be waiting and hoping to secure an UltraHDMI mod from RetroFixes or BadassConsoles.. Supply is very limited, sells out fast, and starts at $164, but the result is gorgeous and works on any HDTV.

A few other points: You're going to need the HD Retrovision SNES component cable in order to plug the RGB modded N64 directly into your TV. These cables should be going on sale at the end of the month, and they will likely sell out quickly. As such, I recommend getting on their email list and following them on social media so you don't miss the first batch. If you do miss it, you aren't out of luck. Modding for RGB will not affect the N64's ability to output via composite or S-Video, so you can still use the composite cable as you are now, or get the S-Video option while you wait.

Sorry that was long-winded, but I hope it gives you a better idea of your options! If this stuff does interest you, I highly recommend checking out the RGB Master Class series I linked to above.

EDIT: Almost forgot! Tell me your TV model number or check and make sure your TV has component inputs! If it doesn't then the Component cables won't plug in, and S-Video is probably your best bet.

while an eventual obtaining of the collection again complete with the boxes and manuals sounds like a much better collection, and while I'm sure there's nothing else you could do to get that car if you're putting up the N64, I hope you know that a set CiB will cost at least twice what you'd sell everything for.

that said, if you really have to sell, at the very least, I think you should keep your controllers, get this adapter and emulate everything. I have that adapter. I love mine. it's very picky with third party controllers, and most don't work, such as my Madcatz turbo controllers, so your SuperPad might not work. but it likes official controllers like the other two controllers you have in that image, and it also likes close replicas like these.

and be aware, on Project 64, I had to find a new controller plugin and change to it for it all to work. after I configured it, Darkman's worked with the controller perfectly. Jabo(which is normally the default one) wouldn't read the joystick properly and N-Rage wouldn't let me use the C buttons. it was very strange. but, the adapter is plug and play, so no drivers to find for that.

the emulator with the actual controllers is the second best experience for it. keyboard controls are just awkward for the N64, and other USB controllers really change the experience because of how peculiar an N64 controller is. even with the occasional graphical glitches through emulation not being perfected, most can be solved between using Project 64 1.6 and 1.7. Space Station Silicon Valley, for example, in 1.6, doesn't show the power cells properly, but 1.7 fixes this.

if nothing else, I hope that my advice for emulating helps lessen the pain for you. I can only imagine what I'd be like without my N64. a lot of really great games I have actual rom cartridges of, and others I emulate with the same setup I suggested you give a try, and for very many, I do both.

u/SturgeonMcGuai · 2 pointsr/n64

I recommend a Sony Trinitron if you get a CRT. These sets are the most well-built among tube TVs, which matters a lot when you're looking for a 10-30 year old appliance. Sony also held a patent on the best CRT technology for almost the entire time CRT sets were relevant, so Trinitrons have objectively better picture quality than any competing sets of the day. Make sure you get the remote with the TV in case you need to adjust the picture. 20"-25" is a good size for a multiplayer gaming TV in the corner, but you might want an extra set of hands to help you move anything larger than 24" depending on how far you'll have to carry it.

Also, for $20-$25 online, you can get an S-Video cable for the N64. S-video is a much clearer video signal than the standard yellow-RCA-jack composite video, which is itself just compressed S-video. Here is a comparison between the two. If you decide to get one of these I cannot recommend ANY generic cables since they're almost always terribly cheap and it's a matter of luck whether they will work, so get a Nintendo-brand cable for either composite or S-video.

You can also get replacement N64 joysticks online, (like here or here) some of them arguably superior to the originals. A lot of those Mario Party minigames will kill N64 joysticks, especially OG sticks, which need to be re-lubricated (I recommend white lithium grease) after twenty years of use. There are also plenty of kooky, unorthodox third-party controllers for the N64 which, by virtue of their design, add some challenge to games you thought you were good at.

Sorry for the wall of text, there's just a lot of technical stuff that goes a long way in improving the retro gaming experience, and most of the high-end and cutting-edge stuff of yesterday is obscure knowledge now. S-Video will give you the biggest bang for your buck, and combining that with a compatible Trinitron will get you ~90% of what hundreds of dollars of equipment can do. And that means more games. =)

u/legacyblade · 1 pointr/n64

Here's the thing with ordering these. I ordered from the same amazon listing twice and got a different version of the stick both times.

If you get one with a rubbery tip, you're going to experience the issues he mentioned in his video. Large dead zone, less degrees of freedom, very small area recognized as "slightly" pushing (making it really hard to walk slowly).

But if you get a plasticy one that has "V3" on the bottom, you won't experience those issues. The one I have with "V3" on the bottom has a slightly larger deadzone than the n64, but has all the degrees of freedom. And it's easy to walk slowly with.

The rubber one is still better than a loose stick, so for $11 I think it's a good option.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MRZAUC

You can also find imitations of the original n64 stick on amazon and ebay (just search n64 replacement stick). Though I imagine you'd run into similar issues.

Personally, I feel the best controller for the n64 is the Hori one. But those are expensive these days.

u/Deadlift_007 · 2 pointsr/n64

To date, I've bought 40 cases from Custom Game Cases. Like someone else said, the shipping is incredibly slow, but the cases are great quality and they look fantastic.

It's also worth mentioning these cases are slightly different than the generic media cases you can buy en masse online. It's a minor difference, but it's worth nothing.

Edit: I put them on this shelf from Amazon, too. You can set it up with three full height rows and a fourth partial height row. Each of the full height sections can hold exactly 12 games (for 72 total). On the top partial section, I have my four controllers.

Just some extra information no one asked for I thought I'd share anyway. Haha.

u/shoryukencallme · 3 pointsr/n64

These dust covers are actually a third party kind I found on Amazon. I think Nintendo shipped them without any kind dust protection back in the day, probably hoping to sell accessories.
https://www.amazon.com/Global-Game-GGG0030-Nintendo-64-Cover/dp/B00AAIDNTW/

I definitely agree with you about that there's are misperceptions about the quality of the N64's library. Sure, not every game is Super Mario 64, but there's still a lot of fun games or games worth playing because they really tried something unique.

u/jmt627 · 6 pointsr/n64

Speaking from experience just head to your local video game store (one thats sells used stuff) then buy the best three used nintendo brand controllers they have. Just check to make sure all the buttons are good the sticks don't matter at this point.

Now hit up amazon and look for these http://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369407445&sr=8-1&keywords=n64+joystick

These joysticks are not like the ones that come with the nintendo controllers they don't have the ball joint at the bottom that wears out. Look at these other sticks for comparison. http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Joystick/dp/B000F7V2GO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369407445&sr=8-2&keywords=n64+joystick

You can see how they are different. The joysticks are easy to swap out and you will not wear them out unlike the traditional joysticks. You will always have "tight sticks"

Hope this helps you out man.

u/khedoros · 2 pointsr/n64

An adapter turns out to be the easy part.

The joypad mod I was seeing in my search earlier looks like it supports 1.11.2, but not the current version. Another one I found looked like it only supports PS4 and XB1 controllers.

So the answer may be "yes, if you're willing to play an older version of the game". Or, I guess look for something like joy2key.

u/Flying_Spaghetti_ · 1 pointr/n64

Cool thanks for the insight. I have been mostly playing Mario Party on my original N64 but I don't even have s-video so it looks pretty rough. I found this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002B9FIUU/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a PC next to my TV for my Vive already anyway so we are going to try it still using the original controllers.

u/BangkokPadang · 9 pointsr/n64

The issue is your HDTV will not receive 240p signals.

240p is a "hack" of the tradition timing signals in a 480i video signal, which made each alternating field appear on the same set of lines, rather than alternating them. This allowed for a higher framerate at a perceived lower resolution. It also gave "retro" games the classic "scanline" effect we all remember so fondly, because each alternating line didn't have any video being projected onto it, so it appeared black.

A handful of later N64 games (The THPS series and Madden 2001 both included) use both modes interimittently, usually using the higher resolution for menus, allowing the lower resolution (but higher framerate) for gameplay.

Since, technically, this 240p mode is not part of the NTSC standard, modern TVs just don't support it. They "think" they're missing 1/2 of the signal, so they don't process it, and you get a black screen.

That is your issue.

To fix it, you need an upscaler which accepts this signal type. This is a huge rabbit hole, that depending on your dedication to retro-gaming as a hobby, and your budget, can cost anywhere from $25 to $400.

The $400 solution, which looks astounding on HDTV's, is the XRGB mini.

It costs this much because it is a dedicated piece of hardware that accepts everything from composite video to RGB SCART video, as well as component (via D-Terminal) and HDMI inputs.

It makes old games look as crisp as emulators do on HDTVs, and also allows for adjustable scanlines to be added. It lets you adjust color saturation and sharpness and about 10 other settings to make each console look perfect. It can be bought HERE.

The $25 solution is called an AV2HDMI and it is the best-looking out of the lower priced options, and it actually outclasses many composit-upscalers I have personally tested (it outclasses one that actually cost $120).

There is no reason to buy anything in between these two options, unless you are getting an SCART RGB upscaler. HERE is some captured footage of it working with an N64.


TL:DR: The old signal type isn't supported by your new TV, and the easy way to fix it is to buy a $25 AV2HDMI adapter

I have this cable and am very happy with it: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Gamecube-Audio-Video-SVideo-Cable/dp/B000NBWRBQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1449666273&sr=8-5&keywords=nintendo+64+s+video. It's super cheap, and it gives you both composite and S-Video options. I've been very happy with the picture when using S-Video.

Those knockoffs never have the same feel. I bought genuine N64 controllers and ran them into a converter like this one:

It is perfect for playing on PC and you don't need additional controllers to play console.

This cable is just as good or better than any Monster brand S-Video cable.

But honestly, if you paid the dough for an XRGB-Mini Framemeister you should really RGB mod your N64. It's not a lot extra to put out, and it's a huge difference. The colors on S-Video are still very dull and blurred together compared to RGB. My main N64 is an RGB-modded console plugged into a Framemeister, and comparing it with S-Video is a joke.

What I find interesting, it says it works with current Nintendo consoles... How Can I get it to work with the wiiu? Does it pair up like a regular controller?

u/iterkderjerbs · 1 pointr/n64

If you prefer to replace them yourself, the best option is SteelSticks, when they are available. The Hyperkin GameCube style joystick replacement is the next best option. However, there are dead zones with this joystick even though it is a better replacement than almost any other option out there. The resolution to that is to buy or build this.

u/mandlar · 1 pointr/n64

I love them. I'm not going to for a CIB collection. Maybe one day I'll buy the universal cases for them and print out covers. But the dust sleeves work just fine for now. You can get them off of Amazon 6 for $7 http://www.amazon.com/Global-Game-GGG0030-Nintendo-64-Cover/dp/B00AAIDNTW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=n64+dust+cover or buy them in bulk (I can't remember the site off the top of my head, I think it's the same one that sales the universal cases). I just buy them from Amazon as I need them.

My opinion is pick up hyperkins hd cable it supports snes/n64/GameCube and boost it up to a 720p signal so much better than standard composite cables for $30

For controllers, pick up any OEM controller you like then, if the stick is shot, replace it with an aftermarket one.

I've been using some GameCube-like analog sticks from here [0] to repair my old controllers. Some don't like them but to me they work and feel great.

There's also CWSFDavid who is working to 3D print some stockalike sticks! [1]

Lastly, if you want to "splurge" again, look into Hori controllers. They're probably the highest quality non-OEM controller you can get.

You'll get the best picture with a s-video cable (unless you're willing to do the RGB mod). Cheap ones are about $5-10. If your TV will accept svid directly (unlikely though given that it's new) then do that, else, you should get an upscaler to convert the signal to HD and allow you to plug-in HDMI.

Here's an Amazon link with a bunch of reviews. Looks like it's pretty basic and just adds black bars to the sides. Like they said, gets the job done for the price but nothing too impressive. Also looks like it has some limitations on compatibility (no PAL, some audio issues) and it needs an additional power connection you need to plan for.

u/NoDownvotesPlease · 2 pointsr/n64

I think they're just different brand names for different regions, since I got mine in the UK rather than the US. The device I have looks just like the one in the video, and the box is the same too. Even the brands Tendak and Tensun sound pretty similar.

US Amazon actually has both for some reason. Weirdly the Tendak one has a slightly higher price.

https://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Composite-S-Video-Converter-Upscaler/dp/B00V2ULHBS/

I'm surprised you couldn't get a good picture out of an RGB scart console though. In theory that should be even better than S Video.

u/gr8ful123 · 2 pointsr/n64

Want an N64 classic? Make it a Slimmer model like what this guy did

Region Free? Get one like this or 3D Print it.

Want some wireless controllers? Try something like this or there's this option

Oh no! Analog stick is not too good on the OG controllers? replace it/Enkko , Replace it/ SteelSticks or use the GC Stick Method

Want HDMI / RGB Output? Do it yourself/ get an electronics person to help you

Want some fancy aesthetics for the console/ Controllers? Look no further!, LED Controller mod

Game list isn't what you wanted? oh no, you can't play Romhacks/ unreleased games? Get an Everdrive/ ED64

In total, besides the current price for the Steel Sticks and possibly the ED64 (depending on if you work or not/ have extra income), an N64 Classic Edition with all of those things, wouldn't be too far off budget.

Edit: I badly screwed up the title. It should read, "Upgrading from Composite to S-Video", not "Component". Component would only be available on this system with an RGB mod, and then an HD Retrovision SNES Component cable.

I have a 2009-era Sharp TV with one S-Video input, so I decided to try it. Overall, I'd say it was worth $8. I wouldn't say that it's immediately noticeable, but when you look closely, you can definitely see sharper lines around big color changes. I can also see each pixel more clearly, and you can see the Nintendo 64's anti-aliasing and horizontal blur at work.

This happened to my sister as well when I gave her one of my N64's. She texted me saying she couldn't get a picture on her TV. I had tried the console right before giving it to her so I knew it worked fine. Turns out that some newer TVs have trouble recognizing the N64's low video quality. After I suggested she buy an AV to HDMI it solved the problem right away.

These are two different tiers: $15 and $35. Read the reviews and see what you think.

The more expensive one has S-video input. This usually is better than the composite video input converter, if you have the S-video cable:

You could get a pair of USB n64 adapters. One plugs into a single USB port and provides two n64 controllers ports ([N64 Controller Adapter - Amazon](MAYFLASH N64 Controller Adapter For Pc https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002B9FIUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7FoMybDNN2HXG))

Thanks for the advice. The HD Retrovision cables would be my first choice, but they appear to be sold out. Back when I bought the n64 I purchased a SCART cable and a cheap scart to hdmi converter/1080p upscaler, but the picture quality from that is worse than composite and has severe input lag. I've looked into the xrgb mini a few times, but it appears to have recently been discontinued. I might look into getting one off ebay, but I'm worried a successor might be released in the coming months. What sort of cable or adapter would I need to use s-video? Something like this?
