Hey all, having a few issues with my setup at the moment. Did a lot of research before biting the bullet and buying some gear, unfortunately I've obviously missed something.
Currently I'm running my N64 into a 3 way scart selector then using a scart to component cable into my Sony Trinitron. I get audio just fine but no video. I know the N64 can't output RGB, I just bought a scart cable that carries composite so that all my systems are running into the selector for neatness sake (ocd!).
Any thoughts on where I'm messing up?
** custom n64 cable came from eBay seller adapter man in the UK, definitely got a solid rep.
Setup issues.

European and Japanese scart leads are different, maybe the same in audio but not video?
^^ My Available List ^^
My B/S/T list
I also rent and sell PS2, Wii and XBOX softmod-kits and I collect DVD movies let me know what you have.
Re: Setup issues.
Thanks for the reply but I think i've got it figured, need a RGB to YUV transcoder, can anyone suggest a model/place to buy? I was looking at the CSY2100 but Australian sellers want $150...
Re: Setup issues.
Not to steer too far off topic, but how well does this work for you? I'd love to have quality component from some of my older consoles.

It works amazing in the sense that I can't find anything wrong with the picture whatsoever ex. no colors being off, no video issues etc. Works as perfectly as I could ever wish for.

Hasn't arrived yet, will do a mini review when it comes in. Dogman91 are you using this with a CRT or a HDTV?

CRT of course!
edit: Remember that N64 can't output RGB so you will still get no video from that console unless you RGB mod it. There's RGB-modded N64 consoles for sale on places like eBay if you don't want to mod. If you're set on it being only composite I would say simply plug the N64 in another input on the TV using a standard Nintendo A/V cable and leave it there! There's also S-video cables for N64 that don't require a transcoder.

I have the same one. Colors aren't EXACTLY perfect, but you can open the thing up and adjust some pots if you're not totally happy with it.
I love it. My only complaint is that I wish it passed the audio out to RCA jacks.

Got mine today, colours are mildly off but I sorted it via the TV's colour adjustment menu. Totally hear you on the audio issue but it's not too much of a hassle to deal with, SCART lead I have for my SNES has left and right break out cables. Love this little device, it's fantastic. The picture is so crisp!
