So, you’ve got a Nintendo 64, and you’re ready to relive some classic gaming moments. How exactly do you hook it up to your TV? We’ll get you gaming in no time!
Quick Guide to Connecting Your Nintendo 64
First things first, locate the power supply and the AV cables. You’re going to need both. Plug the power supply into your N64 and then into an outlet. Next, take the AV cables and connect them from your N64 to the AV inputs on your TV.
Most modern TVs might not have the traditional AV inputs since technology has moved on, but don’t worry! There are adapters available that convert the N64’s AV output to HDMI, which most TVs today support. Once everything is plugged in, put in your favorite game cartridge, power on the console, and switch your TV to the correct input. Boom! You’re ready to play!
