Hey all.
Plugged in my N64 recently and found that the picture is so bright that driving on ice tracks in Mario Kart is literally impossible - just a washed-out looking Wario endlessly circling in a complete sea of white.
It's happening to all games I own - the whites are so bright it's ugly at best and impossible to see at worst. All the dark colours are washed out and bright and anything on the light end of the spectrum is so bright it's hard to look at.
Definitely not a TV issue - none of the picture settings on the tv make a difference. Plus the SNES is working fine.
I have a PAL 64, hooked up to a plasma TV via RCA cables.
The TV has several single 3.5mm inputs for different input types (RCA, component, etc) but provides plenty of adaptors. These are all working fine - the SNES has no issues and looks great.
The thing that's really driving me crazy is the fact that it was working fine about two weeks ago. I moved house, packed it all up and when I've set it up again it's doing this crazy white thing.
I've searched a lot around the net for solutions, and so far the best one has been to break open the cable connector with a hammer and solder in a resistor. Obviously this is a complete last resort.
It's bugging me so much because as far as I can tell, this is an issue that may affect some old consoles used with some HD TVs, but everything was working great until I unplugged it and plugged it back in.
If anyone has any help, advice, suggestions, questions, anything, it would be hugely appreciated.
Lastly, apologies if this issue is covered elsewhere in the forum - I couldn't find it.
