japanese n64 s-video cable work in us machine?

[J-Machine]

Was wondering if I bought a n64 s-video cable from japan, would it work in my american n64? I just got this system and want a working s-video cable and found an official cable shipping from japan. I'm assuming they are universal but I want to be sure and google isn't helping

Yep, it's the same standards as the US. I used an American S-video cable on my Super Famicom and worked just fine

well I'm not big on spending 50 bucks for a cable but these are rare so I guess I'll get em. it's a shame nobody makes them though.

I'd buy a 3rd party cable if you can. The cable themselves are cheap used and there wouldn't be a point to buying them for... $50?! geeze!

from what I hear many 3rd party cables just send composite through s-video which causes visual discrepancies. the only sure fire way to make sure I'm getting what I want is first party or monster, unless someone has a recommendation that they know works

The s video I got worked just fine but it was combined with a PS/2 and original xbox connector too. I'd recommend it but I have no idea what brand it was, possibly madcatz? I tried it out on SNES, N64 and my PS1, worked fine and looked better than the typical cords. However there's no telling if you'd have the same luck.

that also has the yellow plug. have you used this one and can verify it seperates the colour and lumin?

i believe you can ether the s-video or the yellow and it shouldn't effect the color or anything else

The one I had didn't cost that much, plus there's monoprice.com, a good place for cables.

Is there a specific reason why you use a Super Famicom rather than a SNES?

I just bought it when I was living in Japan because my original Snes stopped working. Got it for 1000 Yen (around 10 dollars).

its 40 plus shipping but ya it seems exorbitant either way. i've been looking around since finding it so hopefully I find something good or a guy willing to make me one.
