How do you connect a Nintendo 64 to the computer through a tuner card?

Answer 1

First, you'll have to buy a tuner card. I suggest you get one that comes bundled with software, because chances are the software will record whatever comes into the card (which is what I guess you're trying to do). Keep in mind that the card will have to fit in your computer (I'm assuming you're using a PC). You'll have to open the case and look at the expansion slot area. An expansion slot is one of those blank panels on the back of your computer, usually at the bottom. Check with an online resource to determine what expansion slots you have. You usually have either AGP or PCI. Make sure to buy a tuner card that fits into whatever you have (PCI is usually faster). After buying the card, check if you need to install the software before or after the card is installed. Follow the instructions accordingly. If you need help installing the card, look online, ask a friend, or make the friend do it for you. After the card and software is installed, go to the manufacturer's website and look for driver updates. A driver is a piece of software that allows to hardware and the computer to communicate effectively. Once your card is set up, you will have to huddle your PC next to your N64 or vice versa. Plug in the power cables for your N64 into the wall or power strip, the RCA cables into the tuner card on your PC, and any controllers into the N64, then turn it on. Mess with the software until you see your game. (I apologize for not having specific instructions as software varies among manufacturers). Can't see the gameplay witht the software? Consult the software's help file or look for help on the manufacturer's website. Sick of the software? Unfortunately, Windows (at least XP) doesn't come with special software for TV tuners, so you'll have to use third-party programs (programs from some manufacturer). Thanks for the question and I hope this information helps!
