I have a Nintendo 64 bought in South America and want to play it in Europe
Solution 1:
The N64 could output 3 different video formats
- NTSC - Japan / US
- PAL - Europe / South America
- PAL-M - Brazil
PAL-M except for the name is actually closer in specification to NTSC PAL-M Wikipedia. There were other differences between the countries so region compatibility is complicated. The console and games will probably work better together (compared to European Console and South American games).
It also appears that your RCA to HDMI converter may be the reason for the Blue screen. GameFaqs Forum
The remaining question is how to play the games.
From my research (not experience) I suggest the following:
- Treat the console as though it outputs NTSC.
- Find an adapter for NTSC to HDMI?
It will either :
- Work correctly with full color (South America excluding Brazil)
- OR Will be monochrome (Brazil) in which case you will need to find a PAL-M adapter.
