    I just got my 64drive yesterday and I'm having issues with the menu on my RGB N64. The screen likes to scroll and turn green but then when I load a rom it functions fine. If i use my regular n64 it works with no issues. Is something messed up with my sync or does it have to do with the menu for the 64drive.

    That sounds like the symptoms of putting a Component (Y/Pb/Pr) signal into a monitor/TV expecting RGB.

    Check the 64Drive settings, see if there's a Component/RGB switch maybe?

    Could it be high res mode? Everdrive 64 has problems in RGB with some setups.

    I've tried switching the video mode in the 64drive and it didn't make a difference. I've also tried all settings/ resolutions on my gbs8820.

    Chances are video mode related then. Have you tried an RGB to component encoder on a CRT SDTV?

    In any case, make sure the menu isn't using 50hz somehow.

    Well I've tried different monitors and TVs with no luck. What is is the refresh rate of the n64 with rgb 15khz? If I make the this sync splitter could it possibly solve my issue?

    He used an gbs8820 and the gbs8820 sucks. What more do you want to know :)
