Getting a Japanese N64 working in the UK

    Hey guys!

    Finally got my Japanese N64 and a couple of games. Still waiting on the 64DD turning up mind you!

    I don't have room by the TV to get it setup so I plugged it into the input on my Radeon9800Pro All-In-Wonder video card on an old PC. I set the input to NTSC-J and restarted the TV tuner application. It's connected using the phono-style leads that came with it.

    What's happening is that I don't see the bottom of the screen. I've tried every NTSC, PAL and SECAM option that it has and I can never see everything properly, why? Anyone ever tried this?

    My new PC which is being built now by the good people at Alienware, won't have a TV tuner in it so I'm considering buying one so I can use the N64 on that, but which one do I buy? I want it purely for my Japanese games consoles, but so far I'm not having much luck!

    Please help!

    Try using the Menu controls on your monitor to shrink the image horizontally.

    I can't do that because the display is in a window. Turns out that even though it has options for NTSC playback, if bought in a PAL region then these options do nothing!

    Can't you run the input in full screen mode?
