any other ways to connect N64 into HDTV?
ok so first off I OWN AN N64. i was however playing mario64(which i own an original copy of) on an emulator on my pc. my laptop was hooked up to my hdtv through the hdmi cable and the picture looked great but when i plug in my old n64 with the av cables into the same hdtv and its awful...grainy, pixilated, just terrifying. so i was just wondering if there is any way to connect my n64 through an hdmi cable or anything else that would give it the same picture my pc had. a converter or anything.
please don't tell me im going to have to go from my 38 inch hdtv to my 12 inch sdtv. there must be a way.
thanks
i just wanted to prevent any *** holes from comming in just to tell me that rom are illegal...which they are not if you own the original hardware

First of all, spare us the childish rant at the start. Everything before "when i plug in my old n64 with the av cables..." could have been cut.
You probably get similar effects when you switch your TV over to a standard definition (SD) channel, or maybe playing a tape on an old VCR or something.
The problem you are having is that your TV is trying to stretch the N64's video to fill the entire screen.
Try changing your display mode to 1:1, or zoom, or something similar, instead of stretch, full, or whatever it is named. That SHOULD fix your problem.
