AboutHelen Joan Casper Expertise Ever since I played "Pong" in the early 80's, I've been a video game aficionado. I can answer hardware & games questions about PSP (PlayStation Portable), all PlayStation (1,2,& 3), Wii, Wii Fit, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and antiquated systems (ColecoVision, Atari, Sega, etc). I can answer hardware questions about all systems (including PS1 - PS3, Wii, NES, SNES, PSP, DS, GBA, GB, Xbox and Xbox 360). I can also answer PC game questions, especially CounterStrike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Half-Life 1&2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and all Sims & Sims 2 questions. I am ESPECIALLY knowledgeable in Square-Enix (formerly SquareSoft) games such as ALL the Final Fantasy games (I can even tell you really obscure things about these games). If I haven't played the game yet I will research it and help you find the answer, renting the game if necessary. I can even answer questions dealing with the consoles themselves (hardware questions).
I cannot answer questions about Action Replay. I cannot answer questions about football, basketball, or wrestling sports games. I also have very limited knowledge about Xbox & Xbox 360 games unless they are cross-platform. If it is an independent game that has not been widely published and/or a game only released in some countries, I may not be able to help with it either (sadly!)
Experience I am also an expert here in games/roleplaying games, weddings, childbirth, and doulas. My husband is a computer programmer and one of the forefront coders for CounterStrike: Source scripts & mods. He has his own forums for coders/scripters at Mattie.Info. I have been an expert here since 2000 (under the name of Helen Chipman) and also volunteer on numerous other game-related websites and forums.
Question I haven't played my super nintendo in years and dug it out recently but can't seem to connect it to any TV. I've used the old RF cable, inserted into the back of the nintendo and then the back of TV and tried tuning it in, but nothing. I'm tuning it into a normal channel rather than AV as it won't seem to let me. I no longer have the AV/scart connector so I can't try this either.
The light comes on the console so I think it is working but I can't say for sure as I can't tune it in, any ideas?
Answer Please answer the following questions so I can help you further:
* Does your television look different at all between channels 2,3,and 4?
* Where you plug it into the television, what does it say? You need to plug it into the antennae. Many modern televisions have S-video, don't plug it in there.
* Do you hear any sound at all from the game that's in the console, on any channel?
