Noisy Nintendo (But it's not the N64 that's at fault!!!

OK, so I fitted another X2 cap directly across the mains and things are definitely improved. It's not perfect, and I will likely still just unplug the N64 when I'm not using it.

Maybe I'll just keep an eye open for a genuine part.

You probably need to measure the frequency of the noise and work out what value cap would act as a filter for that frequency.

@rubber_jonnie I may have a spare genuine PSU, but can't remember if it's for my GC or N64 and if it really is spare if you know what I mean

So don't go out looking for a genuine one just yet.

Probably, yes.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind if I do go that way.
