    SNES and Digital TV

    We have a SNES and love it. On April 2nd 2013 South Australia switched to digital TV. We have an old fashion TV and a HD box. Can we still use the SNES with this setup? Many thanks.

    Yes my TV has the 3 coloured cords but not sure the SNES Console does. If I remember correctly it has a hole for one cord, a larger square hole and the 2 holes for the joy pads.
    Are USA and Australian SNES different? As I do know their games are different. Thanks for the reply zanzabar.

    the cables with the jap, NTSC, and PAL use the same connectors just different cart slots. i would guess you ether got it second hand, or they ripped you guys off down there.

    you need this
    http://www.amazon.com/Gamecube-Cable...words=snes+rca

    it works on everything up to the wii so you should not have a problem finding one. they also come in S-video that i think works with the SNES (mine does) but the component cable (5 rca connectors) does not.
