PAL screen

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Depends on if you have a PAL system, if not, then no.

It will work, but the video quality will be crap.

Yeah. So it's not worth doing anyway, because good video quality is a must!

It should say either PAL or NTSC. If you got it in North America, it is NTSC.

Is your friend constantly going to other countries buying N64s? I didn't think so. It is most definatley NTSC.

how about this, does it work on your current television? if it does, then it's an NTSC unit. besides, if you friend had a foreign system he'd brag and generally would have been annoying about it--he also would likely not have given it to you. it goes too well with the uppity euro TV he also would have tried to go on about.
