[Newbe] N64 NUS-001 (FRA)/Gamecube – signal drops

[ovoxRubenxovo]

Hi,

yesterday i connected my N64 NUS-001 (FRA) “modded” console via. RGB cable to my OSSC.
First I tried the x5 Mode but the image height is too much (10% cut off on the top and bottom of the screen).
Then i tried the x2 Mode … the first image was flawless, perfect fitting on my TV (Samsung Q84R 4k) … aaaaaaand it’s gone.

As soon as i use the x2 mode the image stays for ~4-5 seconds and then the signal drops (black screen, no sound), the signal returns after 1-2 seconds but then it drops again and so on.
The indicator light on the ossc stays green. I tried the console and cable on a older tv and it worked (ugly af but worked).

The same problem is with my Gamecube but not so often, maybe once every 1-2 minutes.
Also with some games the ossc dosn’t get any signal from the n64?!? (e.g. Mario 64 or Majoras Mask)
What settings do I need for the N64?

Thanks

Who did the mod on your N64 and what kind of mod is it do you know?

Are you using quality cables or some junk off ebay?

@BuckoA51 : I bought this N64 – Console Nintendo 64 N64 PAL RGB Officiel (CMS) NUS-001(FRA)

@Harrumph: I got this cable – Eaxus®️ RGB Scart Kabel – Nintendo Gamecube, N64, SNES

Clearly mediocre quality, apparent from the reviews. I’d recommend cables from retrogamingcables.co.uk instead.
