Quick Guide to Setting Up Your Nintendo 64
To start, make sure you have a Nintendo 64 console, a TV, the power adapter, and an RF switch or AV cables. Connect the power adapter from your N64 to a power outlet and then connect the N64 to your TV using the RF switch or AV cables. Now, pop in your favorite game cartridge, switch on the TV and the N64, and you’re good to go!
This process is quite straightforward. Just think of it as plugging in a modern console, but with a retro twist. Connecting via AV cables often results in better video quality, so opt for that if possible. After you’ve made all the connections, simply turn on your TV and the N64, select the correct input channel, and enjoy your trip down memory lane!
