Hello leviathan,
Which model of N64 are you using? Reason I’m asking is because I now there are certain N64 models that don’t output s-video. From my experience plus from what I’ve heard the compatibility is as follows:
DOES output s-video:
– NTSC
– PAL NUS-CPU(P)-01 revision
– PAL NUS-CPU(P)-02 revision
DOESN’T output s-video:
– PAL NUS-CPU(P)-03 revision
– PAL NUS-001(FRA)
The NUS-001(FRA) or comparable modelnumber can be found on a sticker on the underside of the console. The CPU revision numbers have to be checked by opening the console where it is printed with white text on the motherboard. The French (FRA) models are special because they can be modded to output RGB. No other PAL console can do this. Not in the same way at least. The problem is that those French consoles don’t have the necessary components to output s-video. Same goes for the CPU-03 board revision consoles.
Take care!
