Ойындар
For people who don't have RGB SCART or component video inputs on their HDTVs, wii2HDMI adapters for the Nintendo Wii are the simplest way of displaying your console on a modern television.

Wii component cable ($7) + component to HDMI box ($12), change wii to 480p, change both wii AND tv to 4:3 and the picture is much more vibrant and smooth. Much better than a direct to HDMI like this.

Exactly this is the OPTIMAL solution, all 'HDMI adapters' for the WII are terrible. the only good solution is the hardware mod, which is quite difficult...
From different people reviewing this product online i think that there are some adapters that have some varying level of defects, a few might work perfectly and others no, i bought one and it works well except there are slight diagonal lines across the image every now and then. It doesnt really ruin the image much for mines tho unless youre really ocd
Thank you. I I thought there was something wrong with the video. It was discolored but thanks to you it is fixed now
Thanks so much for the video. I know it's old but it helped me a lot, I just bought the converter for my wii, I can't wait for fun. On my 4k TV, it's kind of funny to play wii on 480p on a TV like this.

I bought a Neoteck scart to HDMI adapter and it works as in the picture quality is great, but the sluggishness is terrible. I am having trouble with the balance board and some games i.e. table tennis. Figures don't move fast enough. I'm wondering now if I should buy a special Wii adapter like in the video or something similar.

a hdmi mod will give you true 1080p ouitpute. but its hard and time taking. also I herd the new chip will do 4k since it replaces the video processpor of the system. also the chip mod is a pure digital connection not analog.
Thanks for the tip Dennis, luckily my tv is old enough and is even called a HD ready tv. So it has all the old skool connection ports like rca, scart, coax and has 1 hdmi port!!! No troubles for me yet.

Just got mine in the mail today. With my TCL Roku TV I had to change my physical TV settings to "stretch" the image to have it fill my screen. Was certainly confusing. And my audio seems a bit off.
I bought one from eBay just recently. But for some strange reason, the NES/SNES Virtual Console titles boot up but TV (mine is a late 2000s Panasonic Viera!) only shows a black screen when running but DOES show the Wii 'Main Menu' interface. Always think carefully before you purchase. Not all TVs are supported.

I'm going to get it to make my wii into a portable gaming device with a hdmi output for external gaming
the converter has a jack connection, if I don't connect anything to it, the audio will still be heard on the TV or I will necessarily need an external speaker ??(my new TV is so "smart" that it doesn't have a jack connection)
Now thats a video!! Thanks dude! Does it output audio then with no issues?

Why you can't change the screen setting on Wii then? When you can finally change the screen setting on Wii then change it from standard to EDTV 480p setting and off you go,the HDMI option won't come up since Wii don't support HDMI but it does support component video and that Wii2HDMI I suspect just basically converts the component signal to HDMI that's all.

Er schijnt ook iet dergelijks voor de ps2 te bestaan. Wat dit ding doet is volgens mij het component signaal digitaliseren. Het schijnt dat de wii ook rgb scart ondersteuning heeft. Wat ik me afvraag is of deze converter de resolutie onveranderd doorgeeft of dat hij deze upscaled.

Just hook it up with component while you can. really the best way to hook up your Wii. If your TV doesn't have component you are always better of with other component to hdmi converters and high brand hdd recorders (which you can get cheap at goodwills) this is neat and tiny but doesn't do the Wii justice...waarom schrijf ik dit in het engels :)
