    i believe you have to mod the snes to 50/60 mhz for the display.

    The snes should still work with scart, composite or rgb
    But it's just not very playable without the 50/60htz mod.
    The n64 should be fine though.
    Are you using an rf lead? If so its likely your searching on the wrong band

    UHF 36, I'd highly advise you to use scary rgb cables instead of rf

    http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Gamecube-Audio-Video-Cable-64/dp/B000RJOAP0 one of these for each console should help. Sold as gamecube av cables but they will work with a snes and n64, nintendo kept the same av port until the wii.

    you can get them off retailers in europe but im lazy so the first result was amazon.com

    That's just av though, nowhere near RGB quality
