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.
@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!!!
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
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
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?
@@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
@@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!
@@gamecubeplayer have a wii2hdmi and the colour on my wii is so bad. Stuff like blue, purple and yellow are hard to tell from each other and I don’t know what to do :(. My model number is RVL-001
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.)
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.
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
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!
I use this adaptor, I get picture but no audio! It won’t let me change the audio selection to HDMI in the settings either. I’ve had the sound work on this tv before but don’t remember what was done to get it. Help!
Hi, I have set up my av2hdmi converter to view vcr/dvd on my modern tv but I am getting a blue screen and message to say no signal, can you please help, thanks . . . Steve Farrant
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.
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 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.
i used the same converter but there were glitches on the screen but it wasnt because of the converter, the text that shows in the corner didnt glitch and the wii works fine, idk whats wrong
@@gamecubeplayer I hear tons of people saying this is better than wii2hdmi though, and that it sucks? I'm about to buy either one of them so I really need to know
@@aydenseale2761 you think the device caused it or could it have been anything else? I’m curious cz I bought something similar and now I’m a little worried😅😅
yeah, can you just put the USB cable straight into to your USB port on your Nintendo Wii? instead of getting a USB phone cable like the one shown? icemanx23
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.

use wii2hdmi because it allows 480p
Mine works, I can play but the problem is the colour is black and white and has a few lines across the screen
Does it really upscale the image from your stock video cables??
No it just allows you to use an AV output on a HDMI only TV
Kaico Wii HDMI Adapter is way better it uses component for a true 480p output, it also requires no external power.
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)
Did you find a solution
It comes with a small black USB cord which you have to plug into the back of the MINI adapter for it to work
You may have the wrong one, the av port should say Input and the hdmi port should say output not the other way round
Thank you friend!

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

What is the first lead he put in
Does it allow sound?
Thanks
This might be stupid but can I plug in the usb power cable in the wii
No
💀💀
No? 💀
@@Malyt538im genuinely asking why this wont work tho💀
Do you have to have a pc or do you only need a monitor
monitor works.
Could I get the power supply for the box off of the Wii USB ports?
you can try but i would not recommend because sometimes these devices need more power than you think lol
Would anyone know why mine keeps saying the signal isnt being detected? Like its basically not workint
Why is it only blue screen for me
Did you ever find a fix for it? Having the same issue right now
Do I have to get a separate hdmi cord 😐 I don’t have one
Yes
Is that supposed to make the imagine clearer?
Mine were fine for two uses, and now there’s no volume
My screen makes it squished vertically, how do I fix that?
set your display to 16:9 & also set your wii to 16:9
My screen looks great but then it gets a lot darker. Please help
I still got my old HDMI cord, still have my old one. that is has no sound
Does it matter if the hdmi says input and the RLC says output?
It does! It won't work that way, HDMI has to be input and RLC output
@@soukscriedhereyou mean hdmi needs to be output?
how much input lag is there?
Wii has a homebrew channel in it
