we have a breakthrough.......having hunted for ages for the correct leads to connect my N64 to the TV with no avail, I was having a hunt through my box of leads n miscellania when I realised the connecter for the gamecube was the same shape as the N64. Whack it in, plug into the back of the TV and hey presto! N64 Shadows Of The Empire Great Goodness!!

Of course, every silver lining has a cloud. I've not had much time to spend on it but the little time I have had has been interrupted by the unit resetting itself after 5 minutes or so gameplay. I'm hoping the unit just needs a clean and am about to research opening up an N64.

To be continued..........
