They look the same to me

rf

RGB is not a stock option for Nintendo 64. Nintendo dropped the ball there after SNES.

theyre the same picture

S-Video is a good middle ground. I don't like the games being too sharp (unless it's an arcade game) or too blurry. S-Video will give you enough blending without making you feel the need for new glasses.

Pay less attention to Peach and more to the HUD while displaying the image at 100% zoom. Look at Mario's eyes, or the star's.

>>11849642
That is stock

>>11849629 (OP)
it's been damn near 30 years, I'm too fucking old to care anymore

>>11849654

Can't. Peach is too cute.

N64 had rf. scart shit didn’t arrive until gamecube

>>11849629 (OP)
S-Video is best for unmodified N64, but composite looks fine too

Guys the thread is about output cables in general, not just in relation to the N64, that's just one pic I found as an example

>>11849765
Good job on picking the second most nuanced comparison example possible.

>>11849629 (OP)
My TV only had an RF input, so that's what I used.

The N64 looks like smeared vaseline shit regardless

>>11849629 (OP)
4K decompiled pc port obviously

>>11849784
Zoomers hooked their Wiis and PS3 to the TV via composite. Only millennials know what an S-Video or RGB cable is

>N64 had rf. scart shit didn’t arrive until gamecube
what nonsense are you talking about

>>11849829
guy's probably confusing scart with component

>>11849654
>look at shit you would never focus on during gameplay
no

the s video one looks like the pixels are curving at the top more than the other screens at their respective positions. I also see that you were trying to match the angles and closeness of each photo to eachother to make it easier to make fair comparisons and observations for each one, but I see slight variations across all the screenshots of the different screens on the closeness and angles of the shots. But, in all, they all basically look all the same, although personally I would say that the composite is a bit darker than the s video, which is in turn a bit darker than the rgb scart, and also what I said at the start of this entire paragraph.

oh I missed some other things some people also said such as that the composite video is blurrier than the s video which is blurrier than the rgb scart, the fact that the star's eyes on each are different, with the composite one being blurrier and the rgb scart's being the biggest and the most clear, and something I think I noticed myself is the white roof just above the left brown roof is blurriest and smallest on the composite, then a bit bigger and clearer on the s video, followed by the rgb scart's being the biggest and clearest.

RGB on N64 goes against the antialiased visuals they were aimed for, S-Video needs no modifications and can be said to appear superior to a modified RGB N64.

>>11851016
ok but what about other systems anon who can't read the thread?

>>11849629 (OP)
Sit 4-6 feet back from the TV and the differences vanish.

>>11851024
Non-RGB all the way unless blending dithering is no more. Even some Dreamcast games stil relied on this technique.

>>11849629 (OP)
Cheap hdmi-adapter.
What the fuck ever.

>Even some Dreamcast games stil relied on this technique.
Yeah, and PC games over VGA also relied on dithered patterns, doesn't mean you were supposed to play them using composite

kek

>>11849629 (OP)
composite is how i remember it

>>11851046
yeah pretty much

>>11849629 (OP)
composite

it accentuates the already-blurry visuals of the n64 and doubles the sovl as a result

>>11849629 (OP)
svideo is as good as it gets on consumer tv's.
rgb is for pvmemers.
europeasants and scat cables do not apply, especially because the n64 needs to be modded for rgb output

>>11849629 (OP)
Composite all day. Honorable mention to s-video and rf. Everything else is shit.

Is RGB worth considering for Gamecube/Wii on a CRT TV?

>>11852173
RGB leaves UI elements looking a more pixelated than they would with other cables.

>>11849629 (OP)
S video looks the most soulful

>>11849629 (OP)
S-Video is the perfect compromise between clear picture and soulful blurriness.

>>11849629 (OP)
S-video looks pretty good I'll have to buy a cable for my Retrotink

>>11849642
UK N64s came with RF

>>11851024
There's nothing that says this thread is for general discussion of video quality, while the OP image is of an N64 game and several replies reference the N64.

I use composite but s-video looks pretty good and you don't need to mod anything. My TV doesn't have s-video though.

>>11849629 (OP)
composite, because it's what came with it and no one even thought about the cables prior to 6rd gen

I generally prefer composite so any blurring effects are intact.

>>11849770
Misleading image. That "RF" is not the RF most people generally think of, it's using a specialized device through that port to directly talk to the Laserdisk drive's laser and dump it's raw values, not an RF or any other type of video signal.
