How to use a Nintendo Wii on a new TV | Convert to HDMI

[@shenaycrawford8701]

This solution for my old Wii (and an older 720P TV) worked perfectly! (note: had tried two different Wii to HDMI connectors that supposedly supported 720P TVs, but they really only supported 1080P TVs). Thank you for this very helpful video.

[@MilanRobin]

for all the people saying it doesn’t work. don’t be scared to push the av chords in hard. it should work

[@lovepreet15]

Honestly I didn’t knew either that it needed a power source & they supplied that little usb cable Thank you for your video

[@imbrium16]

@Jack I literally had everything I needed to fix my wii years ago and COULDN'T until I found this video! I didn't know it needed a power source. THANK YOU!!!

[@beckyboo1433]

For anyone getting no signal it may be because you have the wrong adapter. We had the wrong one it says HDMI2AV, you need AV2HDMI. Hope that helped someone lol

[@gamecubeplayer]

a wii2hdmi adapter is better because it allows 480p in the wii settings but the wii mini rvl-201 doesn't work with wii2hdmi because it doesn't support ypbpr component video

[@TamaraWightman]

Thank you for this video! We finally figured out. We were missing that little cord on the adapter.

[@gamerdudeplayz2292]

I tried using this on a PAL Wii but the problem is that the colour only messes up in "60Hz (480i)" but not "50Hz (576i)". I want to use it in "60Hz (480i)" but the colour always messes up. This only happens to games that support "60Hz (480i)" but with games that don't support it works fine. (including NTSC games I put on WiiFlow) Some people said that the solution is to set it to "EDTV/HDTV (480p)" which is greyed out for me because it's a component feature not for AV cables. (NOTE: I'm using a XCD branded one but it's basically the same thing. I also see you have a NTSC Wii which is different than a PAL Wii.)

[@gamecubeplayer]

use wii2hdmi because it allows 480p

[@jmvneto51]

I think Nitendo should get into some kind of agreement with the television manufactures to continue to have RCA connector on their tv. At least if one or some brand would keep these kind of connectors, we would be able to buy a tv for OUR own specific needs. Or Nitendo could make available a licensed adapter proper for its product (Wii). Or should we just trash their products after awhile?

[@gamecubeplayer]

if your wii is rvl-001 or rvl-101 then use wii2hdmi adapter & set the console to 480p

[@cockulatorofficial9453]

@@gamecubeplayer how can I tell the difference?

[@gamecubeplayer]

@@cockulatorofficial9453 check the sticker on the bottom of the console but it doesn't matter because both of the original big wii models work with wii2hdmi

[@jmvneto51]

@@gamecubeplayer I have a LG smart tv 65 and no RCA connectors (just HDMI), so I bought this Wii2HDMI connector (and a hdmi cable), connected my Nitendo console to the tv via Wii2 adapter and it worked perfectly immediately, no set up of anything, I think the picture is even a little better. Cheers!

[@yodead369]

Does it really upscale the image from your stock video cables??

[@will_mcdermott]

No it just allows you to use an AV output on a HDMI only TV

[@Scribblebob9990]

Him missing the hdmi port is everything lol 🤣 1:43

[@Salahrab_]

hello, I did the same thing as you in the video but when I turn on my wii, it puts me "no signal" (Please help me)

[@slushie64]

Did you find a solution

[@HM-ff5fr]

It comes with a small black USB cord which you have to plug into the back of the MINI adapter for it to work

[@LiamMountifield]

You may have the wrong one, the av port should say Input and the hdmi port should say output not the other way round

[@lucas3263]

Does this converter leave any input lag?

[@LyricalMurderer1]

Can we use this with an HDMI switch as well? In other words plug the hdmi end into a switch that toggles between different HDMI outputs to allow for swapping between different systems.

[@mett146e]

Mine doesn't work... My tv can see that there is something in hdmi, but says that there is no signal 🤷🏽‍♀️

Do I have to get a separate hdmi cord 😐 I don’t have one

[@nikistunes4209]

I seem to be missing a cord I only have a plug in the part that shows the 1080p and the other number not the other side what cord am I missing?

[@OrijinaruBTC]

Alternatively buy a Hisense tv cos they have red, yellow and white connectors on the back so you can plug straight in without using hdmi I play my ps2 on my hisense 50 inch tv.

[@officegirl54]

I am able to plug in the three color coded adapters into my 50-inch ONN, but my 32 inch TCL TV does not have where you can use the color coded plugs so that's I'm hoping today my adapter comes I'm hoping I can use it because my 32 inch is the TV that I use in the kitchen and outside and I hope to be able to race Mario Kart outside when I get my adapter LOL it's the little things in life

[@officegirl54]

By the way since we're talking Wii does anybody here race Mario Kart online?

[@justindekock7211]

Does it allow sound?

[@baldogonzalez7206]

[@jacobward6373]

Very helpfull Jack! Thank you! I was wondering what HDMI cable you used for your monitor, mine doesn’t work, the input and output plug in thingy are different shapes, and only one side fits into the monitor/adapter plug-in. It would be really helpfull if you could link me to the one that you have, thank you!

[@Jack-ed6ch]

Could be that the monitor is not hdmi and is displayport.

[@TheDeepThinker-sq3iy]

I have a question... like about a week ago, I bought this converter off of Amazon to fix the atrocious graphics I was getting off of my onn Roku TV(with the wii mini)... it had the plugs for the av already built-in, but the graphics were just awful... I tried with this thinking it was gonna fix the issue.. well it did, but not at first. I thought the converter was a bust... but then two days later, I noticed the graphical quality has somehow skyrocketed up! WAY up! and it might possibly still be improving somehow. . I want to know if you or anyone reading this knows what's going on with this? Am a little scared that this might be slowly breaking or something. It'd be nice to know what in blazes is going on.

[@juanach4948]

I just bought Wii and wondering the same thing with my graphics on my Samsung smart tv. How were u able to fix the graphic issues on there?

[@TheDeepThinker-sq3iy]

@@juanach4948 I don't really know... A few years back, I once heard SOMETHING about this. Not sure if it was the converter box, but it MAY have had something to do with the wiis screen burn reduction feature. From what I heard... This makes the console work better WITH the TV. Go to the settings on the Wii, and make sure this feature is on. Your PROBABLY going to have to wait a LONG time before you start seeing any improvements(like DAYS). I also had to make adjustments to the brightness and color, sharpness, etc. If NOTHING seems to be improving... Then it MAY have had SOMETHING to do with the converter box WORKING with the console's screen burn reduction feature. I also don't really know about the Samsung TV's or much of anything to do with any smart tv(rly), I'm NEW to smart TVs. The one I've got happens to be a Roku TV, so I don't really know if any of this will work for any other brand in the same way.

[@gayonabay]

I‘m currently facing the issue that the quality is AWFUL and the colors are only with yellow and blue, no red. I know that the console is old but it‘s worse than it was on my old TV. I have the exact converter in the video. Anyone got an idea what I could do?

you should try wii2hdmi, if it doesn't work then i guess your tv is too new. sadly my smart tv is from 2020 (it ONLY has hdmi ports) and with all those adapters i get terrible lines on my tv. otherwise i could suggest you if you have a computer (which isn't bad) you could emulate your wii on the pc and then connect your pc to the tv through hdmi. this is how i currently resolve the issue.
