How to Hook Up a Nintendo 64 to a TV

Last updated
Ever wondered how to connect that classic Nintendo 64 to your TV? Your retro gaming adventure awaits, and we’ve got the steps you need to start playing.
Connecting a Nintendo 64 to your TV might sound like a tech challenge, but it’s easier than you think. Let’s break it down into simple steps.
Short and Sweet: Hooking Up Your N64
To hook up a Nintendo 64 to your TV, you typically need an AV to HDMI converter, as most modern TVs lack the traditional AV input. First, connect the N64’s AV cable to the converter, then link the converter to your TV via an HDMI cable. Finally, switch your TV to the correct HDMI input, power on your N64, and start gaming.
If you’re lucky enough to have an older TV with AV inputs, you can plug the N64’s AV cable directly into your TV. Just match the cable colors to the TV inputs, switch to the AV channel, and you’re good to go!
