    Is This Possible?

    Right, I'm trying to get an N64 to connect to a PC, so I can use the PC as a monitor for the N64...

    ...this should be possible through a normal TV card, yes?

    you can do it fine.

    image quality is ass, but you can do it fine.

    as a bare minimum get a composite or svideo cable for the n64 (it uses the same cables as a gamecube), as running it through the aerial cable it comes with will hurt your eyes

    If your video card has composite or svideo in, you can. Also you can use a tv-tuner card and use a normal coaxial cable. What video card do you have?

    ever tried an n64-compatible vga box?

    unless you fork out £100+ for an XRGB2+, you're gonna be staring at a white screen with a few blurry lines on it
