The GameCube and Dreamcast use legit 480i video. The N64 and earlier use a slightly different method to draw the 240 lines. This often causes TVs or recording devices to not work with Super NES or N64. I feel it's incompatibility with the DVDR and 240p. Without using a transcoder of some sort, there is nothing you can do.RetrolutionGaming wrote:Second issue is that the DVD records my Dreamcast and Gamecube fine... but it doesn't seems to work with my N64!!!

I have sound but no image, or the image shows up one second and then freezes. Of course I tried my N64 directly on the TV and it works fine. Any idea why this is happening?

What are some good 240p Dreamcast/Gamecube games? It might be worth trying those out.Zing wrote:The GameCube and Dreamcast use legit 480i video.

No. I'm suggesting that you try recording some of those 240p games to see if you have any similar recording issues.RetrolutionGaming wrote:Tons... What genre do you like?AppleQueso wrote: What are some good 240p Dreamcast/Gamecube games? It might be worth trying those out.

I seached it on Google but can't find nothing yet.

If you have a PS1 or PS2, you can also test. Almost every PS1 game is 240p, and a few PS2 games are (Ico is one example).
