I recently found my old Nintendo. Not N64, not SNES, thats right, my original Nintedo. :smokin:

It doesn't even have the red/white/yellow AV cords, it just has a connecter with a cable TV input.

I'll try and describe it as best as I can to someone has no clue what I'm talking about..

The nintendo has 1 output cord, at the end s a rectagular converter type thing. It has a connector on the short end, where you can connect the Cable TV cord to. (Optional, I suppose.) On the other short end, it has an output cord which looks like a basic cable TV cord, which you can screw into the TV.

I have a 42 inch LCD flat screen, would it be safe to play it on there?

I'm worried slightly about burn-in, but not so much as my TV is an LCD screen.

Another thing that worries me is the old Nintendo output cord connected directly into my TV, mainly because it's about 18 years old. Lol.

Thanks for reading.

That's an F cord, plugged into a converter. Are you sure that your nintendo doesn't have RCA outputs. It should only have yellow and white, and they should be on the left side. I am looking at one right now that has them. It is an original model.

Those composite cables usually come with DVD's and such, so if you have any extra, you cna usew those to hook the Nintendo up.

Hmm, yeah it has the red/yellow RCA outputs.. I dunno why I didn't notice in the first place.. :headb:

I have an extra RCA cable, and I understand it the picture will be pixelated as hell.

My TV is a 42" Sharp LCD screen. (HDTV, as well.)

So the question is, will it harm my TV in any? :headscrat:

Thanks for the replies.
