What is the reason behind switching white and yellow? I always thought white was another sound in/out for stereo, not video.

Thanks! Helped a lot. Great mic quality.

I premiered this video. Well done for the restoration and setting it up! It took me back to the 80s and 90s. It was interesting comparing it with your emulation videos vs the real thing. The latter stretched it out wide, but looked smooth. An emulator would know to go 4:3.

I hook my NES about 21 years ago back in mid 2002 at my now-late grandmother's house. I'm planning to get another one soon for my house.

I'm Stuck!! Just got a black screen on my vizio tv that is a few years old. It has the colored (not yellow) ports on the side that I hooked up just like you did on your adapter. Was hoping it would work for my 3 y.o. grandson :( Any suggestions???

Thanks brother. The converter is what I needed to figure out

[Lilsaucepacket]

Wait I got one and they gave me a yellow and red thing will it still work?

I'm not getting picture or audio. I am using the HDMI converter plugged into the TV. I have tried 720 and 1080. I am not getting the "Input" error on TV. I am not getting anything on HDMI 1 OR 2 when attempting either Input mode. NES is not blinking, cartridge(s) is down. How do I know converter is not the problem?

[ferryj]

[bobbaj]

I have a nes snes and n64 hooked up through the same set up to a 4k HD TV. And the picture horrible. Super blurry. If I buy a HD TV with component inputs will it give me a clear picture? Not sure what the issue is

[melaniehunt]

I did everything as said and for some reason, whenever it turns on, it has a grey screen then transitions to blue, I really don't know what to do

[adancarlos]

Did the setup with the same adapter and everything and I’m 99% sure it shorted my nes. Someone please let me know if there’s anything I can do to fix it

[marcusharper]

You didn't blow the cartridge and console

[jayman]

lol I about died when you fired it up and said "I'm just running through it here" while B button clearly not being held and Mario walking through the level. Sorry just found it funny I know what you mean but I try teach my kids how to play and am like "Hold the B Button or You Won't Make The Jump!"

[luciferlight]

I used to connect my nes to a car battery and it worked fine from 4 volts-12 volts the amps didn't matter. A very forgiving unit

[FrankSausage]

I hope you won your MMA fight before making this video!

[allen-gtng]

Do I need to wear the gloves also when hooking it up so I dont get dirty
