Optimal N64 video output?
steveprudden:
Thought this might be a good place to ask.
So, with my current setup, my PAL N64 is running through an HDTV via its antenna in.
As you can imagine, it looks like crap. It deserves better.
What setup would give me the best possible results?
I assume I want a big standard def TV? I seem to remember reading that NTSC N64s have better video output? Is S-video output the best you can get?
Polygon:
Without any modification, you're going to want to use a good CRT and S-Video. You can use component or RGB, but I as far as I know that requires modification.

Earlier models are capable of RGB without too much work. That's your 100% best option.

Is that possible on PAL and NTSC systems? I would think about getting a US N64 if it was worth it.

Earlier US models for NTSC, Earlier French (FRA) models for PAL.
