| Connecting 3 consoles to one TV via RF |

That RF modulator for the N64 doesn't connect to the TV through a coaxial cable, it connects by a RF adapter. Like so: There were also plenty of third party RF adapters for the N64 that didn't require the RF modulator. Like so: The original SNES has an RF port built in, so you'll only need an RF Modulator or a 3rd party RF adapter if you have the SNES 2. Beyond that, I'm not sure why you're confused: [N64 RF adapter]--->[SNES RF adapter]--->[NES RF adapter]--->[TV] |

Oh boy, I feel stupid. Didn't realize the SNES/N64 RF modulator had an RCA/RF out, not a coaxial out. It's hard to tell by the angle the picture was taken at :P Okay, now I totally see how this can all work out. Thanks! :D |

It should only show the image of the system plugged in 1st. Being that it's an automatic RF "switch", anything connected to the female end of the 1st should be electronically disconnected once signal from the game system comes through. --- Quote from: Cloisonne on November 26, 2012, 06:47:04 AM --- --- Quote from: Arseen on November 26, 2012, 06:19:01 AM ---Get 3 of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-NINTENDO-NES-RF-SWITCH-W-30-DAY-GUARANTEE-/190757882438?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item2c6a0e4a46 or these if yer European http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Official-Nintendo-NES-rf-cable-/271110381446?pt=UK_Video_Games_Cables_and_Adaptors&hash=item3f1f701f86 I think you can figure out the rest. OR BUY NEW TV THAT HAS COMPOSITE INPUTS!!! Wayu better picture quality. ;) --- End quote --- I have an HDTV which I use for all my other game consoles! I just have this CRT so I can play NES games that use the zapper and SNES games that use the Super Scope Six gun thingy. I also want to connect an N64 to it when I feel like reliving 1996. :3 How would the three NES RF adapter things work? I mean, I already have RF outputs on all three of the consoles, I just need a way to get them all connected to one TV --- End quote --- Fixed ;) |

Not my typos. ;D And nope it does not disconnect the second video. It should but it does not. I think it's because the NES, SNES and N64 use either CH3 or CH4, and those are too close to each other. |
