According to the link you sent me, the capture card does support S-Video. The link below is basically the same video cable as the one you are currently using on your SNES, but with S-Video added. Its a cheap test to see if it benefits you ($7ish for the cable). You use the S-Video port instead of the yellow composite port, just leave that one unplugged).

Other than that, I would look through the software and see if you can increase the resolution or quality. It will take more storage space, but look better.

I do a lot of retro gaming on actual consoles, but emulation can actually benefit you a lot as well. Emulators can actually make games look BETTER than they originally were supposed to with filters and such.

Do you have a PC or mac? What are the specs of it? (or at least how old is it?)

You'll get the best picture with a s-video cable (unless you're willing to do the RGB mod). Cheap ones are about $5-10. If your TV will accept svid directly (unlikely though given that it's new) then do that, else, you should get an upscaler to convert the signal to HD and allow you to plug-in HDMI.

I got really lucky with this cheap cable for under $10.

Thanks for the advice. The HD Retrovision cables would be my first choice, but they appear to be sold out. Back when I bought the n64 I purchased a SCART cable and a cheap scart to hdmi converter/1080p upscaler, but the picture quality from that is worse than composite and has severe input lag. I've looked into the xrgb mini a few times, but it appears to have recently been discontinued. I might look into getting one off ebay, but I'm worried a successor might be released in the coming months. What sort of cable or adapter would I need to use s-video? Something like this?

I recommend an S-video cable:

And a composite to HDMI upscaler:

This option would be a $50 investment. You could get a good CRT TV at Goodwill for less, (Look for Sony Trinitron and bring your N64 to test it.) but if you like your HD TV, this is a really good option. N64 isn't going to look that great on anything but almost anything else looks pixel perfect with the upscaler + S-video setup. (SNES and GameCube look amazing.) If you want to wait it out, this guy is developing a way to make N64 look better through HDMI and he's trying to get it produced.
