I hooked mine into the back of my TV and the screen just blinks when I turn it on, but doesn't actually work. Yet, my XBox works just fine when I hook it up there. I don't have an HD TV, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyone have any ideas?
Mine isnt working i put my rf adapter plug screw thingy in the vcr and the one that said to tv in the vcr too. should i put my red yellow white plugs into the tv or what? I have a hdtv please help!
How would you hook it up to a flat screen with a built-in DVD player? I have an RFU adapter but their is no hole for it on the TV, is their an adapter for that adapter?
@comedygal21 no you need an Multiout RCA they are 4 bucks on my website. Be advised it may still have troubles as newer TV's are rejecting older system video
i'm having trouble setting mine up. i have the RF-unit auto switch for connection to the tv. it has a black wire for 'to tv' and a little nob bit for 'ant in' ive tried hooking it up through the vcr but it doesnt pick up the 64 and that was into a HD flat screen tv. then i tried setting it up through a set top box to a non hd flat screen but it doesnt work either. Do i need to buy another cable bit or is it something else? Please Help!!
I have been trying to set it up for ages, I have got an Rf Modulator it doesnt have a switch but it is designed for the 64, ive plugged it in properly and i have put it in the back of my hd tv, since its a modern tv i need to search for it i have done everything properly yet it cant find it ive plugged it in correctly and done everything yet there is no screen for the n64, for information its a LG flatscreen pretty new, so please help me i really need it and miss playing all of the best games :)
ok im trying to get mine working on a flatscreen, so i've tried using the av cable (red, yellow, white) on 3 TVs now and every time i turn it to the AV channel it still doesn't work. i wired it through a dvd/vhs player and still no luck!! what am i doing wrong? or is my N64 just buggered in general? Help would be really appreciated!!!
Okay, I've got an HDTV and both with SCART and without (the 3 cables directly put into the television) I get no signal, I've tried to scan for channels on my "TV" directory screen on my television, to no succes.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this problem?
all im using is an old wire thingy that goes into the back of the n64 straight to the cable jack in the back of my tv there are no red white or yellow cables i was gonna use the cords from my old gamecube but my sister threw it away can i ever play it with the cable cord thingy or do i need the red white and yellow cables?
@jakez069 You only need the scart-part when your tv doesn't have the red, white and yellow ports, if your tv does than you do not necessarily need it.
I just tried hooking it up using the RF adapter and all I can get is for the screen to start flashing. Do I need a new adapter? if so, can I just use one from the gamecube?
I have a samsung flatscreen...but my n64 won't work with it...help please? i tried a lot of things i purchased new cables but i don't know if it will work...
@RawrTabby Try a new cable first. But it may be that the TV set will not recognize the video input for the N64. If that is the case the easiest fix is to run it through your DVD/vhs Player.
@YourVideoSuckz Should work just the same but some hd tv's cannot recognize the input. If that is the case you will have to run it through a VCR or DVD
I just got fios and my n64 cable also hooked up the cable from comcast but now it doesn't work, I hav a ps2 cable and it fits in the n64 but it's not working is it the cable or the n64?
@Ms191919191 Please be more specific. It is hard to understand what you mean. But what I think you are asking is if you can run it without a video cable of some sorts and the answer is no. Which cable do you have? The one with white yellow and red (RCA) or just a coax end?
@kenslog Well I dont have the red white and yellow cables specificly for the N64. But I do have the MadCatz RF adaptor for the 3 consoles. When I try to put the cable in to my VHS player it wont fit. Nothings wrong with the adaptor and I doubt anythings wrong with the antena input from the VHS player..
@mandizle1 Of course it will they use the same type of AV cables (even though they have different colors they'll still work) also it will work on the SNES.
@kenslog Thanks a lot i have an N64 coming in the mail and i just wanted to make sure i didn't need anything else to play it. Great videos and you have a great game collection
@kenslog I just got the nintendo 64 today and i cannot figure out how to get it working. I plugged the n64 into the wall and put the av cables in the vhs player. When i turn the tv and vhs player on all i get is static on all channels. I know it is not a bad console because i tested it on an older tv and it works great. What am i doing wrong?
N64's power cable is plugged into the mains. RF cable is plugged into the "antenna in" slot on the TV. N64 is turned on. Nothing happening on any channel. What have I done wrong this time?
@ShadowWolfofPack Sounds like it's right is this a newer flat panel TV? First thing to check is the Video Cable. Borrow from a friend or get a new one. From Gamecube or SNES multi out. Try to hook up to VCR.
So I have a TV without an RCA input and a VCR with it. I plug the cable from the VCR to the TV, plug the N64 into the front of the VCR and it doesn't work and the PS2 is plugged in the same exact way.
I then tried the N64 on a TV WITH RCA and it worked so I know the cable is fine. What am I doing wrong?
@DrowningSorrows1 That is an odd one. Does the PS2 plug into the exact same port? If so the N64 should work. I know you have to change it from like Video 1 or 2. on my VCR it is L2 or L1. Does the screen flicker at all when turned on?
@kenslog Never mind dude, I got it to work a few days ago.
I hooked the VCR to the TV and plugged the N64 into the front of the VCR and ti came on. Funny thing is, at the last house I lived when I had done the same exact thing but ti didn't work, mus have been something wrong with the room I was in or something... haha
I just got this NGC rf auto switch from this place called movie trading company on 8/21/10 and my game can show on channels 3,4,8,11, catv channel 14,and 16
@gh3rocksmylife make sure the red white and yellow are in the right slots. I have messed this up before as well so it wont hurt to look. Make sure AV connection to N64 is secure. Power on the game and switch between all AV1 and so on.If that does not work I would try a new AV connection. If that doesnt work test another source in the AV1 or 2 slot if it works there is an issue with the N64. Be sure to clean the game connectors with a dry Q-tip . Otherwise deep clean or its fried
Hey man, Im having some problems with my Madcatz Universal RF Adapter. I plug in the cord in the back of the TV, then, I hook up the adapter in back of the N64. Now I change the channel to ch 3, power up the N64, but I dont get any signal, am I doing something wrong? Please help me out! :)
i have an n64 and a samsung hd tv, with only the original rf cable to connect them and i cant find the channel anywhere on the tv after ive plugged it in and turned on the console. Im pretty sure the console isnt broken either. any help would be great cheers
My TV is like that too (input 1 and 2) and I use 3 ways to do it: I have 2 RF Modulators (Philips and Radioshack), the cord that connects to the RF Modulator can be used singularly to only one of my TVs and the RFU Adaptor.
