A guy, an HDTV, and an NES.

[Stridder44]

So I was thinking of playing the crapload of NES games I have but came across a problem. There's no plug on my HDTV for the old school connection. It's the only TV I have so I can't really use an older one.


Are there any adapters or something like from Radioshack?

It won't help with instant gratification, but I've had good luck with http://www.firefold.com for odd cables. I got an HDMI cable for like $7 shipped from them.

Don't suppose you have a VCR you can pass the signal through?

Your TV doesn't have these?
I play my NES all the time, and I just use an AV cord to hook it up.

The top loader NES system only has RF output, if that's what his problem might be. Because I thought all TV's have a coax input anyway?

I am under the same impression, even for HDTV's.

Really crappy hdtv's might not have f-pin coax connections. I work at circuit city, and we sell a couple of them. Most people return them because they have basic analog cable.

My old school NES has the a/v on the side.

My NES has composite out on the side, but it doesn't display on my Dell 2007WFP (WFP?PFW?). So even if you get the right cables there's nothing to guarantee you'll get an image.

That may be. I have an old school NES, and it has AV outputs on the right side.
