Refurbished! Nintendo N64 RGB Mod & Signal Amp Region Unlocked - NTSC US & Japan

What would be the best cable to use with the above console? I bought one off ebay but the cable I bought from retro gaming cables doesn't work (or the console is faulty). Seller won't get back to me to advise on which cable I need.

The one I got is "RGB EurcoScart NTSC Luma as sync" - it's connected to a B&O MX7000.

Best way to do it order a £2 game bit screwdriver and open up the n64, the RGB mod will have either 3 or 4 wire to the motherboard to it. It sounds like you have 4 and need the csync version of the same cable from retro gaming cables (hopefully your TV can accept the csync as a signal via scart as its more volts than normal scart wants on that pin)

I have mine connected with the same cable from Retro Gaming Cables to my Beovision (Not sure of the model number) Works like a dream.

Thanks both - will open up the n64 and take a look

Any idea if the MX7000 can accept this?

It's NTSC-J - It's been a while since I researched the N64 so I am not sure if that makes a difference.

I think the AV ports accept NTSC, if there's more than one it might be a case of just trying a different one!

Not much help but I have an RGB French N64, and I always keep the cable close, as it was unique to that mod (I think).
