Battle of the Best Wii to HDMI adapter converter wii HD 

Finally, a video that does more than show one converter. Searching for videos of recommendations gave me the worst results. I had to sort by "recent" to find yours. Hopefully you can get more eyes on this one as it's the best comparison I've found.

Just got my Autoutlet HDMI adapter after using a Wii2HDMI for years. Definitely worth the upgrade as the colours are a lot more vibrant.

This is a lifesaver!!! I can barely find a lot of options rather than the cheap alternatives luckily the last one you reviewed was available to buy in my country. The autoutlet, It was a bit pricey but worth it!

I have a Portholic one. It's pretty decent, although some games have a little audio crackle. Interestingly enough, the casing has 480p written on it, not 1080p.

I have a Bitfunx for the GameCube and it's safe to say that the image quality is unbelievable good. I need one adapter for my Wii, but even watching this video I can't decide.

Just for anyone interested, if you have a modded Wii with Priiloader, you can turn off deflicker for the entire console and not just USB Loader GX. This will work for disc based games, the system meni, and everything else! It's definitely worth it.

Just found my old wii and was looking for an hdmi adapter and found your channel great video and channel and great information

Little addition: the first generation Xbox 360's (November 2005 - August 2007) did *not* have HDMI output. The first Xbox 360's *with* HDMI output were the "Xbox 360 Elite"''s (May 2007) with the new "Zephyr" motherboard revision.

I have a wiidual installed and use an mclassic as well. It looks really good

Personally I think the best Wii image you can get is via a Wii + Component + VGA adapter onto a VGA CRT. Much cheaper than a PVM while offering similar if not slightly superior video quality. They are so sharp at 480p. With a good component to HDMI adapter, not scaler, I think these are fine too. My personal setup is a Wii on a SD CRT with component which looks fantastic. Of course Retrotink 5X exists but that's out of the price range for most people

From the video, i like the brighter Portholic, and its good price to performance too. It's only a shame it doesn't have an affiliate link 😉

You should try Electron Shepherds adapter. It’s supposed to be the best of the bunch

Really informative video thanks for sharing.

I’ve tested 5 Wii adapters and the best one for me has been electron shepherd. The only problem is there was an issue where some of the units had an over exposed image, but luckily mine came fine and I think they’ve since fixed the issue. Kacio would be my second choice, but the image is pretty dark, so you need to mess with tv settings. Third would be mayflash it’s just a pretty normal adapter. My setup at the moment is electron shepherd to mayflash then I daisy chain that to a photofast 4k gamer pro. The photofast does boost the image quality a bit making it sharper and more vibrant, but for almost 200 bucks it was definitely not worth it lol.

Thank you for this super informative video

I'll be honest, by the time I purchased a Wii again(I had one before with a failing disc drive), I already had a Retrotink 5X Pro. I ended up using HD Retrovision Component Cables plugged into the Retrotink, and it's easily the best video quality I can achieve natively on the Wii.

A great video. First a Brit so we can see how this applies for PAL users AND for people who just want a decent picture but aren't obsessed with getting the most perfect picture (for cost or other reasons).

Thank you for the video my friend, I have a question, to obtain an image quality like 0:11 do you need the AUTOUTLET Wii to HDMI Converter + the upscaler?

What an amazing video, we need one for the ps2 DESPERATELY

Im green with envy of that jungle green wii shell.... I wish aliexpress still had those instead of only red and blue

Hello, this morning I ordered the first adapter because I live in Portugal and it was the only one I could find. I ordered through Fnac and now I have to wait between 3-4 weeks, the reason I ordered the adapter is because I'm trying to record some PS1/2 Gameplays with good quality and right now I'm using the elgato video capture and it only records in 480p.

i got the Hyperkin HD Cable for Wii, it has been good for me. would be interesting to see you compare it to these

Need this for Original Xbox and PS2 next! This has been super informative!

Hi! Very good video it helped a lot! Btw, what are you using to store your games on a Wii? A usb drive or a sd card? What do you recommend?

On Amazon there's the autolet that you recommended, but also one without the extra tail. Do you think there's a difference in quality between them/ which is better?

I have a Wii2HDMI, and it has very little input delay, especially when playing Monster Hunter Tri, it plays as if it's through component cables, the only thing I've noticed is the image is a bit saturated, but other than that it's fine! That official Wii component cable, reminds me of the chunky cable i have for more playstation, which outputs to scart, which was a bit expensive at the time, but definitely worth it for the older console!

What's the input lag with all these adapters? Will you notice any annoying input lag when playing games?

Amazing video, I'm using right now component (was lucky enough to get OEM from Ebay) and same converter, if i found your video before i wasn't buying this bad Wii2HDMI adapters which were giving this write lines, i firstly thought my wii had a problem with video signal, but no, it was just bad hdmi

The issue with using the tv to stretch the picture to fill, is that it usually adds a TON of lag because how slow its processing

Have had WII to HDMI for years & Idk which one it is. But with a TV upscaler built in its huge difference. It looks better than when playing Wii games on the Wii U, which upscales them to 720 the TV says. So the adapters don’t always upscale, but they give you an HDMI option. But I was so happy when I first got an HDMI Wii adapter its a night and day difference. The text, graphics, clarity are not 480 thats fer sure. I cant speak on these adapters.

Be interesting to see a PCB level tear down between these

What are your thoughts on the Mayflash and Electron Warp adaptors? They seem highly rated too.

Can you make a tutorial on how to use the mclasic on the autolet adapter? I don’t really know how the mclasic works so far

Ótimo comparativo.

I brought cheap wii to hdmi works great.

Great video, thanks!

ok, so i went throught several different rcs to hdmi converters, specifically for my sega genesis, i keep getting this issue where the audio will play, but nothing will show up on screen, and when display does show on screen, it's a washed out looking color and the actual gameplay looks yellow, sometimes the it will also flicker when it's trying to show display, but nothing comes up still, i even used levelhike (which is the most recommended brand I've seen) i even used the cheap ones, i used kaico, i used some other brands and kept having to send them back due to the display not showing up on my sony smart tv, my tv is a sony 185k Bravia smart tv, do you know a solution to the problem and what the cause may be?

Hi. congratulations for the video. I bought autlel HDMI converter and I had with common white adapter any artifacts in any letters and images with my mcable gaming, I haven't mclassic adapter. Do you have any artifacts? Thanks

If I’m in the U.S., & I buy the Autolet from you, will it work with my American Wii? & is there nowhere else I can buy it cheaper in USD so I don’t have to convert that to Pounds & pay extra for shipping from the UK?

I have the Portholic and the video noise you are getting is a QC problem. If you contact them within the first 30 days they will swap it out but you pay shipping yours to them. I bought mine from Amazon and did their return method. The current Autoutlet model being sold here in the States from Amazon is a rebranded Portholic unit.

When you dont have the scanlines probably you will get extra input lag cos some chip has to clear those lines

cool video but somehow I do prefer the component-5 setup. I got a 2018 50" Hisense TV and it supports component which is awesome. The clerk at the game store I got my Wii from recommended me a component cable with gold plated connectors and honestly I believe that it gets me the best possible image, never trusted these HDMI converters too much.

Retrotink 5x pro. And you need to disable the filters via custom rom.

I have the firsr genaric wii2hdmi adapter you showed and a old crappy 720p tv and it does actually output 1080p bc the tv says “the signal is too high resolution” but when i use the component cables and 480p it works fine. I wanted to point this out bc you said it does not output 1080p

What Capture Card Do You Use? And Any Special Adapters I need for It?

Your are so unrated ❤❤

I bought a portta component to hdmi converter and it has a lot of noise interference. Definitely gonna give the autoutlet converter a try.

does anyone know if any of these will run on a wii mini thats running homebrew and gx loader?

How do you get the sound on the tv with those adapters?

I'm using a component cable. But 1 made by Monster cables. Highest quality I've ever had for the Wii. But its hard to find

This video is great. I recently got a new smart TV that has video and component inputs. I tried the Wii, and the video quality was not too great. I've used the Xbox 360 in video and the quality was pretty good. The Wii menu on the Wii U looked great. My Wii's quality is stuck on 480i, and I can't select 480p. I was hoping that an HDMI adapter would make it selectable somehow. I wouldn't mind using Autoutlet if it's available on American Amazon or eBay.

7:04 i have the same popping noise from my crt tv playing mario kart double dash

The best tv to use with the wii is the rca true flat tv (big back) tv from 2001... amazing picture

Is better using the adapter or the wii u?

Do the USBloader video settings change the whole console or just games run through the USBloader. I want it to change the whole console but I can't find anything to say if it does or not.

I think the best adaptor is RetroTINK-4k! 800$ and very very mega high quality

hello and thank you for your video! I'm French and I bought the Wii 2 HDMI White Sheap, but haven't yet unboxed it since the beginning of 2022, because I very rarely play! I would like to know if you made a video on the xbox classic, "the 1st xbox", or the PLAYSTATION 2 please? Because of you, I bought the AUTOUTLET model this morning because the results are clear! Thanks a lot.

meanwhile me on a Wii U still watching this for no reason

That's why i love my wii u

If y'all really want too play a Wii In HD I suggest a saving up for a Wii U or use the may flash on dolphin emulator

Quick question if I get this autolet, do I need to to take the 3 composite plugs out of my tv, and how do I get the audio? Will it work with my Toshiba SmartTV? Will it work for Wii sports and Wii sports resorts?

I play on a 4K tv and I bought an rca to hdmi converter from GameStop. It makes the screen blurry will the wii2hdmi help that?

Why not use a Rad2x or Retrotink 2x with a Scart RGB cable? best image quality

I've heard good things about the wii2hdmi from Electron Shepherd.

Just get the Mayflash or Electron Sheppard converters. They’re cheap and give a better visual than any of these. Won’t be as good as a RetroTink 5x or properly setup OSSC, but they’re a lot cheaper

The best HDMI converter for the wii is a Wii U

I've tried some of these but my virtual console games always just go blank. (Well I think N64 worked). I gave up and got a component cable because my tv still has that... but eventually I'm going to upgrade my tv and lose that... I know there's better probably easier ways to play these now (like probably wii mode on a wii u..) But I dunno. It bothers me if they become inaccessible on my original wii.

My personal favorite wii hdmi adapter is the wii u

Try Electron Shepherds Wii adapter

i have a white generic one and i dont get white specs or noise

My go to for Wii has recently been using a Wii U, since that sends out 1080 through the HDMI cable in Wii mode.

Do you guys ship to the US?

Does any of these also work with the WII MINI Please ? If not then is there an item or anything that make the Wii MINI Working with HDMI ?

Did you notice any significant amount of lag with the Autoutlet one? Or was it a normal amount of lag? And also wanted to thank for your detailed video, was really helpful!

Which ones support all Virtual Console & WiiWare titles?

Now what is the best one

I just use Wii2HDMI, it's cheap and gets the job done, for a stupid ass low af audio problem mine has I just lower the volume of the TV

And for the record, NO Wii2HDMI adapter gives as good quality as the Official Nintendo component cables going directly to a TV that supports them! None. Your results were skewed because you used 3rd party component cables and used a converter box. *Bottom line: If your TV supports component cables, get the official Nintendo component cables as it is better quality than ANYTHING in this video. The ONLY way to do better is to hard mod your Wii to have an HDMI signal directly from the GPU. Good luck with that mod.*

I used a wii2hdmi adapter and put it to 4:3 and it looks amazing. The reason why it does it because the Wii outputs 640x480 and not 720x480. So with a unmodified console it just takes the 640x480 and stretches it across the screen. There is homebrew to fix this called “framebuffer” but 4:3 is the sharpest.

thanks alot order one now those aliexpress ones are dirt cheap

as someone who really cares about image quality and has hdmi modded a bunch of consoles i wouldnt buy any of these but i would recommend the 'electron warp' from electron shepard they make great quality stuff and its a cheap and easy way to get hdmi on your wii

funny how the wii creates a digital image, converts it to an analog signal, just for us to convert it back into digital.

Wait so you can connect wavebird gamecube controller into wii ?

Which one do you recommend between mayflash and bitfunx?

Why did you skip the mayflash? Everyone says it’s the best one :(

You shoudl turn off the deflicker (via homebrew) so games wont have this wired blue around them

It looks like the gray Mayflash adapter is designed for SNES/SFC, N64, and GC. Not for Wii. You should get the white Mayflash adapter for Wii.

hmm 100 quid to play my wii. Maybe a mini pc with coin ops is now a better option

whats the best ....?

ihad 2006 sylvania component flat screen tv.

The only one you even need to know is the one sold by electron sheperd

@13:36 what shooter game is that?

I say hdmi mod to retrotink 4k or just component to retrotink 4k

God's work

best wii2hdmi adapter is the one from electron-shepherd

Do you know anyone in the uk who can do the internal hdmi?

Wii2HDMi for £3 works just fine

How do you mod your wii?

Drink everytime he says "haych".

i bought two identical HDMI Adapter on Aliexpress für 1,68€ each. One is near perfect, but the other has very high noise problems. its a lottery.
