I have my old PAL 64 and SNES, both with standard composite cables.

Did you think you were on Google when you typed that post out?

>I have my old PAL 64 and SNES, both with standard composite cables. I want to connect them to my HDTV and have them look as good as possible.
>I don't know if I'm comfortable modding them though, unless it's insanely easy.
neither of those consoles are easy to mod, you don't have to mod the snes to get the best out of it though, all you'd need would be a s-video or scart cable.
>Is S-Video the best bet for 64, and if so, is there a good S-Video -HDMI converter?
ni about 64 but the xrgb mini and the homebrew thing are the only way to convert those signals well and you don't seem to care enough so maybe go with this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NI5L-Scart-HDMI-to-HDMI-720P-1080P-HD-Video-Converter-Box-for-HDTV-DVD-STB-Free/32615306395.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.20.pkWaXm&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_8,searchweb201602_4_10057_10056_10065_10068_10055_10054_10069_10059_10058_418_10073_10017_10070_10060_10061_10052_10062_10053_10050_10051,searchweb201603_1&btsid=9214e1f6-449c-48d6-a1ba-0e0b43952c05 it's laggy and crappy at upscaling but will probably do a better job than the hdtv itself.
>With SNES, I've heard you can use SCART, but what about YPbPr component?
no unless you do extensive modding/get a converter, which are supposed to work pretty well.
>And is there a good HDMI converter solution?
see above
>I've heard of the Framemeister but also keep hearing it's a meme that's not worth the money.
probably not worth it if you only have those two consoles/don't have a decent crt to compare it to.

Framemeister is good if you feed it RGB. Most SNES including PAL can output RGB with no modification. PAL N64 requires significant modification including installation of a daughterboard.

It's actually very hard to play N64 properly on an HDTV either through real hardware or through emulation. Framemeister upscaling SVideo will probably be acceptable to you though.

Thanks, okay if modding is off the table then it looks like I'll make do with S-Video. If I ever have money to burn then I'll get a Framemeister, otherwise I'll make do with that cheaper alternative.

For SNES it sounds like RGB to a HDMI converter is the way to go. Any recommended RGB cables?

>>3507019
one with dedicated sync, make sure you get the ones for pal. Theres a guy on ebay from poland that sells decent ones.

>>3507019
get this if you're in europe it's a bargain even broken

Anyone know of a good TV that has separate component and composite cables with vga or s-video support?

>>3507187
CRT or HDTV? What do you mean by "good"?

>>3507019
Just get SCART to HDMI and be aware that most of the cheap ones do not put ladderbars in themselves so you'll need to be able to do it on your display if you get one of those.

Don't know what ladderbars are so I might have some research to do - are they different to scanlines? Do I even want them?

>>3507256
>>3507383
NFI what ladderbars are. I suppose he's talking about scanlines. The framemeister/a sync strike makes them the cheap hdmi converter doesn't

whoa I just started reading about UltraHDMI for N64. Is this as good as it sounds?

>>3507383
>>3507503
I'm talking about pillarboxing. DYE 4:3?

>>3507256
HD preferably but CRT is fine.

Forgot to add, by "good" I mean it has a good internal upscaler so the image won't look like fuzzy shit.

>>3506904
>HDTV
Don't bother with hardware. Use an emulator
>Framemeister
They're an overpriced meme.

>>3507871
Bumping for ultrahdmi. That would be better than Framemeister right?

>>3509038
>don't bother with hardware
Absolutely this for snes. N64 maybe not, a lot of games don't work right or need you to mess around with settings and plug ins. Most of the games everyone remembers emulate well or decently enough. Different strokes though, Mario Tennis has a lot of graphic glitches, some game breaking with certain plugins, but some of them are text and menu, it's still playable.

Program your own FPGA with an HDMI out port.
