Azduou N64 to HDMI Converter Converts N64 Game Console Video Signal to HDMI Signal Easily Connect The Game Console to HDTV Adapter/Converter（Support N64，SNES，SFC，NGC）

Doesn’t work all the time

I couldnt believe my luck when I dug my N64 out of our crawlspace. It was like finding long lost treasure. Eyes aglow, I fixed to hook it up and relive parts of past lives... But the hookups dont work with modern TVs or amps. I was surprised at the depth of my disappointment. Its stupid, I know, but still... Enter this little beauty. Its so simple: Plug it into your N64. Plug the other end into the HDMI input on your TV. Instant conversion. Its that easy. I was hacking and slashing my way through Gauntlets dungeons in no time.

At first I was having issues. I would only get the blue screen but I cleaned my cartridges and it worked after so make sure you all clean the games first.

I have one of these for ALL my retro consoles now. They are awesome. It really cuts down on wire clutter so its a lot easier to avoid a cable jungle behind the TV. It doesnt upscale the output in any way (didnt expect it to), it just allows you to use your consoles with newer TVs without getting bulky adapters or messing with all the silly composite cables. They work great!!

As a video game collector, I’m well versed in the various options for hooking up older consoles to modern TVs. Modern TVs are generally not equipped with the hardware needed to display the older image resolution that these consoles output. A HDMI converter such as this one bridges that gap by converting the image to something the TV can read. The SNES, N64 and Gamecube use the same cables, so this particular solution could be used with all of them. The quality of image your TV displays has to do with what type of signal is coming from the console. Which one is used will determine how clean the image is. The following are the signals available in the above mentioned consoles: • RF (coaxial) through the TV’s antenna port. This usually involves using the RF adapter box that comes with the console. It provides the lowest quality image, resulting in muddy images and a lack of subtleties in color. • 2. Composite video RCA. This uses a cable with three ends, Yellow for video, red and white for the stereo sound output. Composite is better than RF but will display some of the same issues as RF to lesser degree. This converter uses this signal. • 3. S-video. An S-video cable also has three ends, but in addition to the two stereo connectors, there is a special end that plugs into a television S-video port. S-video provides the best image quality that the SNES and N64 could output. It works by splitting the color and monochrome signals into two channels. Thus, the TV is able to more accurately display them. You get a cleaner image, subtler tones over color and crisper edges. • 4. Component. Only early Gamecubes could do this one. Component is an early HD signal that splits into three colors, one connector for each. This is the best resolution a Gamecube can output and is actually compatible with most modern TVs (if you can find one of the super rare component cables). This HDMI converter uses the second signal, composite, to convert and output to the TV. As a result, the image isn’t the best you could possibly get from your unmodified console. To do that, you’d want to get an S-video to HDMI converter. Stand alone devices are available for a bit more than this device but you’d need to also find an original S-video cable for the console, meaning you’ll spend more for that solution over this one. You can also get custom made all in one devices, but those are only available on gaming sites and even more pricey. THE REVIEW: So, for what it is, how is this device? Out of the box, you get the composite to HDMI converter, an HDMI cable, a USB cable, a USB power plug and an instruction sheet. The converter does require power to operate, so you will need to plug it in, though many modern TVs will have USB port on the back you can plug into so you don’t have to draw from an electrical outlet. Setup is easy. They put everything in the box that you need. As an all in one solution, you can just hook it up to your console and TV and play. It’s that easy. Image quality is as expected for composite. I was sort of impressed because a lot of these devices are mediocre at best. This one does a pretty decent job of it with an image that is about as clean as you might expect from a composite signal. You’ll definitely want to play around with your TV’s settings for the best image as some stock settings (Movie, Game, etc) will wash out the colors pretty badly. In terms of latency (that is the time between the console making the image and it appearing on the screen), this device doesnt seem to contribute to the problem. Much of the latency issues you might have will be related to the TV as opposed to this converter. Other things of note include the switch on the converter that allows you to change the display from 16:9 to 4:3 image size. By choosing 16:9, the image will be stretched to fit the screen. Bottom Line: This is a great composite solution for modern TVs and compatible Nintendo consoles, but it is not the best option out there in terms of image quality. That said, given its affordability, I think you could do a lot worse for options that provide a complete solution for hooking your old consoles up to a modern tV.

Couldnt get audio to work with old Super Nintendo.

Don’t waste your time or money doesn’t work

This is incredibly nice for the price! Looks significantly better than the stock av cables. Also mine came with the usb cable, but functions perfectly without it, the Nintendo 64 runs at between 240p and 480p so its still gonna look blocky but this cleans the image up quite a bit. Good value over all

Very easy to connect. Was able to play Goldeneye with my 9 year old for the first time and he loved it. New TV didnt have the old RCA connects so this solved the problem of connecting an old N64 to a modern HDTV

Plugging in the micro usb is a bit inconvenient but works like a charm when the AV plug in isn’t an option.
