I am still experiencing problems using a US N64 here in the UK. I've bought a N64 SCART lead but my TV is still displaying the images in black and white.

I've had no such problems using a US PSX so does anyone have any idea why the US N64 wont work on the same TV?

Try gettin an NTSC to PAL converter, maybe from next-gen.co.uk or projectk.co.uk

Its either the Scart lead or the TV, Try a few very modern TVs to check them out first...then if that fails buy a new lead (or a UK N64 secondhand theyre cheap!)

What games are you using?, using UK games on a US console will not work.

Are you sure the console is working?, take the console apart and make sure all the wires are in its place and not short circuiting.

Or try using it on someone elses TV, cleaning out the cartridge port by blowing and make sure the scart cable is working properly.

Are you using the yellow lead on the scart cable because that's the 'video out' which could explain why you're not getting any picture.

Why not just use a UK N64?

Is your TV definitly good enough and new enough to display NTSC? I suppose it must be if you have got a US PS to work but it is something to look more closely at. Or is it a dodgy SCART lead? Check it carefully in case it is damaged.
