Is it possible to link a N64 console to a pc/monitor and if so are the graphics in any way improved?

[nudetothis]

To a monitor, yes ...

I would consider trying this with the Gamecube but with the native resolution of the N64 being relatively low I would think it looks a lot better in PJ64 than running the console through a monitor would look.

Yup, using either a pci TV card, or a video capture card. The quality realy depends on how much you're prepared to spend on the card. I think i remember lik-sang sellling converter boxes for
s-video > VGA as well.

converter boxes work miracles. Since the resolution on a monitor is higher than that of a TV, it would be much sharper. I play my PS2 and Dreamcast on the monitor all the time

OMFG you guys are weird......... Ever heard of a DEX-DRIVE!? If you actually OWN an N64 then you should........ We all know that you must own the game and system to use an emulator..... or you have to use it for coding education purposes, but that's only if you're the one to make the ROM off of an emulator machine......

[mesman00]

whaa?? he said nothing about roms, he just wants to hook up his n64 to his computer so he can play on his monitor

[SquareSoft0]

I was implying that these emulator users are using emulator illegally, if they don't know what a Dex-drive is..........:plain2:

[Quvack]

Uuuummmmm how does people not knowing what a dex-drive is make it illegal to use an emu?

are you trying to tell him to rip roms off his cartridges through the dexdrive?! Well, if you actually OWN an n64, you would know that dex-drive is meant for only using ur pc as storage space for mempak data.

Plus, your proposed idea of ripping your own roms is in everyway more illegal (well, its still in the gray area) than simply attaching ur n64 to a pc monitor...what stbens was trying to do in the first place!

whos weird now?

King of weirdos..... that's what you are. I was saying that you can use a dex-drive to connect your N64 to your PC, I said nothing about using it to copy your ROMs which it can't do; and it's not illegal. "You (The Consumer) are allowed one backup copy of any non-perishable product from or not from the manufacturer as long as the copy remains to the likeness of it's original" That is a segement of the law on copies of that kind of stuff.
