    The PAL N64 doesn't support RGB scart :(

    Oh, are you just looking for a cable that will go into a scart socket? The N64 does composite video (the one with the three cables that go into a scart adapter). The picture quality is still pretty bad, it's 'fake' scart, but it's a small step up from rf/arial signal.

    If you don't want to mod, look into getting an S-video cable.

    Only works for NTSC N64 consoles I believe.

    Got this off Wikipedia:

    Available to buy separately was a RF modulator and switch set (for connection to older TVs) and an official S-Video cable, although the latter was only sold at retail stores in Japan. In the US the official S-Video cable could only be ordered direct from Nintendo of America, and the cable was not officially sold in Europe. In the United Kingdom the N64 was shipped with a RF modulator and switch set, but was still fully compatible with the other cables.

    Hmm.... interesting. I'll be picking up an s-video cable for my NTSC N64 soon so will test this out. If I find out that it's compatible with the PAL N64 I'll be kicking myself that I've been playing in AV for so long.

    I once waited 8 months for an 8Gb micro-SD card.

    By the time it arrived, I'd forgotten why I bought it :confused:
