I had a retro moment last night and dusted off the old N64 to play a game that, at the time at least, was one of the most immersive gaming experiences I've ever had: Shadow Man. I really was chuffed to bits with this game, and so disappointed when the sequel was a Playstation 2 exclusive (and then I read the reviews of said game and was glad I didn't have to endure it. Shame though, as the premise of Shadow Man was so promising.).
Anyway, I connected the console up to my LCD with my Gamecube SCART and only got sound with no picture (could've sworn I was told that the cable was compatible with the N64) so then I tried the N64's composite SCART and again, sound but no picture. Despairing, I took off the SCART adaptor and connected it via the red, yellow and white leads. This time, a terrible picture was thankfully improved by using the expansion pack's high resolution option but still I can't help but feel I can get a better picture with a compatible, fully wired RGB SCART.
Talking to the wife this morning she suggested it might be time to say goodbye to the old N64 and all its games. The very idea is alarming to me; it would be like giving a child up for adoption. All those good times me and that console had, I couldn't just give it up to a stranger.
So, what I'm pondering now is, how easy would it be to get a fully wired RGB SCART for the N64 and also, would it make any discernible difference anyway?
