They're great for converting Wii to HDMI. You can get one similar for the PS2 that takes the RGB cable and outputs to HDMI that seems to also upscale and improve the graphics.
I've actually have the Hyperkin cable for the PS1/PS2 which I'll be testing out next. I'll check out the cable you've recommended on eBay to see how cheap I can pick one up
Nice and good to know. We still have our original PAL Wii with Gamecube ports. Never misses a beat and it's never been retired from use. :) I dont even see it as retro lol.
The picture quality looks surprisingly clear and not blurry as I expected. I remember using this exact same adapter a decade ago and it didn't do me any favours compared to the component cables I was using prior. What is your opinion on overall quality and what resolution is your monitor?
Oh thank you! I appreciate waking up to read this comment. I need to buy some of the latest gadgets for old consoles (and even PS3 / Xbox 360) and test stuff out to make videos like this again too! Thanks for watching.
Whoa...I was looking how to do this for WiiU, and found your video. And I had nooo idea about the original Wii being able to play Gamecube Games??? I think mine does then. It has the ports for the Gamecube Controllers. But will have to check it's model too, yeah? I have seriously been missing out on that feature then if mine does, thank you a TON. (My Wii was gifted to me, it has no instructions or box or anything like that, and I honestly grew up with Nintendo only through Neighbors. So there is a lot I am still learning. Thank you again! Will this method work for WiiU as well though? Might as well confirm lol.
I have a NEW method that works with all consoles tested so far including the Wii. GameCube looks sensational! The converter cost $28 AUD and I think is the best value. I'll have that video up on the weekend
Thanks for watching! Look it's a great option to setup the console in a not breaking the budget kind of way! We use ours all the time and it's great because my PAL GameCube doesn't work at the moment 👍
@@TeamRetro cheers 😊 mines Pal too and I collected a lot of Gamecube games recently. The adapter was such a good price and I hate switching between the n64 it's a chore to setup. Looking forward to seeing the difference. Thanks again 😊 👍
I have 2 gamecube systems a 101 and 001. The 001 allows you to use SD2SP2 with Action Replay as long as you have a Gecko and format a 2GB SD to Fat with Swiss on it. I see Ebay has Pal Disks from Datel on Ebay New. They are worth the $35.00. If you have a 101 get two Gecko's and format the one for games to EXFat for Dol's. Just use two memory cards because Japanese games format your memory card to that region. I recommend Hudson Select Series Bonk and Adventure Island. It is super easy for all of those back ups so you don't scratch anything. Just leave the Action Replay in all the time and run of SD. Just use the second Gecko in slot one and remember that the newest Swiss Emulates the memory card too. I have also used Gui format 32 to format larger memory cards for Wii as well to do my Nintendont. WiiU as well with vWii. I just find the games on the Cube run better with EXFat.
Ah that looks great. I'm currently using a Wii U to play Wii Games but I'd prefer the Wii Console so like you I can play GameCube as they are so pricy at the moment. Great quick vid.
I will point out a few problems with this and that's playing Paper Mario TTYD on this. The side-scrolling of that game will tremendously hurt your eyes due to the gameplay being stretched with the Wii2HDMI Also, I don't know if this is just my Wii2HDMI but the audio gets super jacked up whenever I use my Elgato HD60S with it.
The gameplay being stretched is not the devices fault . On most tvs a d monitors just look for a 4:3 option. Or spend around 90 to 100 $ for a mCable classic that has a 4:3 switch.
I think it was a mistake for Nintendo not to have the WII have HDMI when their competitors ran HDMI right from the start don't get me wrong i enjoy the system but it made the picture blurry when it ran composite.
Most reliable way to record/stream from the Wii is with component to hdmi converter, my wii2hdmi created horrible scanlines on the screen. Wii2hdmi is not 100% reliable, ablsolutely recomend spending the extra money on component to hdmi converter.
This isn't a permanent setup for me as my PC and running gear for streaming are on opposite sides of the room. It's super easy to attach though with blu-tact to the top of your screen if you wanted something for long-term use.
From some reason on my Apple Mac dosent work I have the audio on on obs and I know the capture card setting is but the screen not showing the wii menu and I have no idea why it’s not working because I followed the set it but it’s just the screen not showing up
Thx a lot! I have a LG TV its like one of the older and bigger ones and its flatscreen The wall stand got in the way so the only inputs available are Hdmi and Usb So this prodect will be great to use Thank you
It's a good cheap and easy option but I have to say I was disappointed in the image quality, it looked worse than component cables. That's why I picked up a Wii u up (for £30!) It does a great job of upscaling Wii games.
I haven't tested Wii games yet but I'm really and I mean super dooper impressed with the GameCube quality. It looks really good 👍 P. S great price on that Wii U❤️
Retro Gamer Girl do you recommend playing game cube games on a game cube or do you get the same experience through the wii? I’ve been considering picking up a game cube to play my few GameCube games, but don’t know if it’s worth it.
@@markrichardson8440 I would play on my GameCube and use the Hyperkin cable to stream however my GC isn't working properly 😑 So I've opted to use the original Wii at the moment. Also a good point for Aussies is that if you can get the RV001 original Wii it will play the GC games and it costs much less than a GC here at the moment. I do like the Wii console for that reason and think this overall is a cheap go to if you need a quick solution 😉
I purchased a Wii Last week. I use the AV in. Luckily my Led TV hast one. Never Had one. Last console was an SNES. Already looked for additional Games.
I'm aware our Pal Wii outputs most Wii games at 480p but I don't think PAL Gamecube games output in 480p at all, which is a shame. At least this is way better than using composite AV cables, or at least should be. I just wish we had something like this for the PS2 but the PS2 is a bit weird since it outputs some games in 240p, and plays most games at 50hz. (Us PAL users really got screwed with the PS2) Pretty much all the cheap component to HDMI adapters for the PS2 are complete junk. The signal will sometimes cut off for a second or two, they don't support 240p, so you can't play all the PS2 library while using them and they often fuck up the colour and darken the image significantly.
Quick question, I use an hdmi capture card hd that plugs into my computer and with this new device that plugs directly into the Wii, does the audio come through as well as the video into your capture card? Or do you need an audio av cable?
If I ran this device to a hdmi splitter to a tv in another room would be both be able to play a co-op game together on different screens? It’s not a split screen game but it’s 1-4 co-op X-men legends
How can we use earbuds/headphones (with the jack not USB) while streaming Wii stuff with commentary (the same way you can stream PS4 party chat/audio with the Chatlink) and sound broadcasted? Hope that makes sense. It's easy to connect the XBox/PS4 (in my case, PS4) and change the audio analog to headphones while on Elgato Game Capture software. Same applies to Switch. Nintendo is slow on the uptake for live streaming which sucks lol
The gamecube woud still be better, 'cause even if it's older, it has better resolution than a wii. I still have just a wii rlv001, but I am looking forward to buy a gc.
For streaming you didn't mention sound with the HDMI does it just go thru OBS that way ? I just bought my capture card to poss start streaming the older games like this.
Does the Wii with hdmi/component force all games to 480p? I know my GC will not play certain games in 480p (like Megaman Anniversary Collection) no matter what I do. Just curious if a Wii would have different results without modding. Although it looks fine on my monitor, the GC games will jitter on stream using 480i and it makes it almost unwatchable.
It will force an upscale. I haven't had any jittering or issues when streaming or playing directly to my TV. The Wii I'm using for all my testing has not been modded.
when I use the hdmi adapter directly into my monitor, I can see thin, diagonal lines in my screen, ive wondering why this happens for months now and I still can figure it out, if someone can explain to me why it does that, that would be nice
I bought this and i have audio issues only when using this adapter to go into my hd60s My elgato hd60s dosent so this with any other system I got some off brand av cable to hdmi converter works fine 🤔 But the off brand av cable converter worked great but it overheated and looks like the plastic actually expanded
Yep this is good for Wii although there's no up-scaling, you'll still get either 240p or 480i through HDMI and is great for Game Cube games. Wii component cables will do 480p I think from memory. The WII U will upscale Wii output to 1080p which might be nicer than some TVs can do it.
Unfortunately at the time of filming my GameCube was not reading discs. Once I have a working PAL I intend in testing and making shorts to upload to the channel
Hey, so this adapter does display an image on my monitor but it’s only 720x480 rather than 1080, plus there are black borders on the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hello there, I was looking for finding a way to stream some gamecube games and I've found your video. I was very excited to try if it will works with the wii because I've try with a Gamecube adapter but it didn't work properly. The gc adapter worked well but when I've tried to capture it (I'm on Streamlabs OBS and I have the Elgato hd60 S) and I have only a black screen. Sadly it does the same with the wii adapter, does anybody have a solution about that ? I've tried with another screen but it was the same results. Have a great day
@@TeamRetro I'll try but it's strange it works perfectly with my others game console (Switch, Pc, Wii u etc...) Thanks for your time ! Have a great day
Best advice is to start again. Turn everything off, unplug then ensure the port is clean and plug back in. Also use a new HDMI cable as it might have an issue. Also are you using via a capture card to stream OR directly into your TV?
@@mdnyt7917 Rather odd as I have had no issues with the GameCube at all when using this device. Sorry I can't assist anymore as it could be the Wii itself. Best of luck!
On Wii game. Does it make it smooth HD as on wiiu. Make Zelda wind walker gc. Look like hd version as windwaker HD. Same with Zelda Twilight pricness gc/Wii. In HD 1080p. Wondering my dumbass move got rid of my wiiu
Hi! So I have the adapter but in StreamLabs the audio is really choppy (on my TV there is no audio problems) is there anything I need to do for audio to be clear? Ive tried to use different HDMI cords but the Audio only ever gets choppy when its running through obs :/
Hey, I am using the same converter with a Game Capture HD60 but it does not detect a signal in OBS. It works with my switch but not the Wii. I changed HDMI cords, disconnected updated drivers, restarted, etc. nothing. Any advice?
Still having the issue Wormy? I didn't have an issue with the HD60 although I used the 4K mark pro 2 for the purpose of this video. I can't see why it would block the signal or have an issue. It maybe the OBS program. Just check if there are two showing in the drop down when you go to add the game capture to the scene (layout).
Does anybody else get an issue doing it this way where the game audio desyncs from the game video over time? It becomes noticeable for me about 45 mins in and gets progressively more and more delayed over time
Yes of course. The one I own has issues with green on all Nintendo consoles which is why I don't use it. I've been meaning to buy a number of them (cheap to expensive) to test and give everyone an my findings.
We just purchased a Wii to start streaming retro games to youtube. After plugging the Wii to HDMI into the Wii and into our monitor the screen is black in OBS. Any ideas?
Yeah, I realize that now, Emily. I didn't even hear ya say that and I've been on computers since '84!! lol I just ordered the HD60+ so I'll be good to go and we can start streaming retro games! Thanks for the great content btw. I may not comment, but I do watch and give likes.
@@therealdandyhouse All good Paulie. I have the HD60 (old version) and it hasn't missed a beat. I use both as I sometimes stream from my laptop to. I love this little device it works well for the price tag. Possibly even you'll be able to adjust the aspect ration manually for this like I did in my NEOTECK video if you've seen that one? Have a great day and happy gaming 🥳
@@TeamRetro The only other concern I have is the in the Wii settings. Oddly I can't choose HDYV380p, it's greyed out. Of course OBS wasn't able to see the Wii and when I hooked up the Wii using the Wii to HDMI adapter and directly to one of my monitors I get a report of "out of range." I hope and pray the Elgato will remedy that for me. No, I didn't see the NEOTECK video, but off to check it out! Enjoy and stay safe!
I have the wii2hdmi converter and a 4k60 mk.2 just like you are using in the video. everything is plugged into the right places just like i would be streaming for xbox or ps4. My monitor(s) support the required resolution. Are you using an HDMI splitter in between the wii and capture card? what is the device that you are plugging the hdmi cord into at 2:47 into the video?
Thank you for the comment. The only reason in this video I used a splitter but didn't reference it is because the HDMI cable I'm using has a fault. It's a 12 meter that struggles to work via my 4K switch box directly so I have to split it before it plugs in for any console I use. My setup is difficult to show and explain most times as the PC is on one side of the room and the consoles are on the other side.
@@TeamRetro based on my comment, can you try to guess why my 4k60 pro won't pick up the wii? I have all of the same equipment that you have and tried plugging everything in to as many combinations and cords as I could think of and still nothing
@@joshkonitzer5877 It's so odd it's not working. Have you tried the device to your TV directly just to test that it's not the connector? You don't happen to have a splitter also just to test?
There shouldn't be any issues. I would check the capture software is updated and potentially that the adaptor isn't faulty. So directly go to your TV etc. first to trouble shoot that it's the capture card not picking it up?
@@ToxicSESH yea, for some reason since I have elgato OBS downloaded, I just went in there and changed my audio thru hdmi and it started working. Sounds confusing but it worked. I just kept playing with the program and it started to get audio thru streamlabs
@@flacotaco5154 you have a discord or something where you can send me pictures of the settings you have on obs? I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while
No not at all - I just show that is how I capture / my setup. You will need a capture card if you wish to record it or stream. If you're just using this on your TV it's plug and play in your HDMI port. Have a lovely day,
If you have a HDMI port it will plug in to use but remember if you require a capture card to record the screen gameplay / if you wanted to stream to a live audience. I have covered more in depth on this on my NEOTECK video so you can see how I setup to record the screen: czcams.com/video/vadH456RLiU/video.html If you just wish to play and use your laptop as a screen I can't see why it wouldn't work it would just be plug and play.
The Wii U is crap for Wii games. Many of them have a problem (mine does this and it forced me to buy a Wii just to play Wii games) where you click Wii mode. It will make it MANDATORY to use a Wiimote to choose do you want to display it on your tv or gamepad? Then it will not recognize the Wiimote at all making it literally IMPOSSIBLE to proceed. Oh, and if by some technical wizardry by hacking the goddamned thing or via a Christ-like miracle you manage to get past that screen it's irrelevant which mode you pick you're playing it on the GAMEPAD. So you're screwed either way. It's a known issue and Nintendo has never bothered to fix it. So if your Wii U freezes you out of the Wii mode just buy a Wii with this adapter and if you don't own a Wii U and just plan on using it for Wii games just buy a Wii with this adapter. The Wii U is shit. There I said it.
This is a great video! Wii is such an underrated console.

@@estbgti424 Most people disregard the Wii Library was my point. There are some great games that have not been ported to Switch.

Sadly it does the same with the wii adapter, does anybody have a solution about that ?
I've tried with another screen but it was the same results.
Have a great day
I have had no issues perhaps try new cables?
@@TeamRetro I'll try but it's strange it works perfectly with my others game console (Switch, Pc, Wii u etc...)
Thanks for your time !
Have a great day
Thanks for the info.
Are these HMDI adapters better than getting a HD component cable?
The sound isn't working properly for mine, help please
Best advice is to start again. Turn everything off, unplug then ensure the port is clean and plug back in. Also use a new HDMI cable as it might have an issue.
Also are you using via a capture card to stream OR directly into your TV?
@@TeamRetro ok and to stream, it's an elgato hd60s, it's work fine with wii games but not gamecube games.
@@mdnyt7917 Rather odd as I have had no issues with the GameCube at all when using this device. Sorry I can't assist anymore as it could be the Wii itself. Best of luck!
On Wii game. Does it make it smooth HD as on wiiu. Make Zelda wind walker gc. Look like hd version as windwaker HD. Same with Zelda Twilight pricness gc/Wii. In HD 1080p. Wondering my dumbass move got rid of my wiiu
Great review!
I own Mario kart double dash
Hi! So I have the adapter but in StreamLabs the audio is really choppy (on my TV there is no audio problems) is there anything I need to do for audio to be clear? Ive tried to use different HDMI cords but the Audio only ever gets choppy when its running through obs :/
I've not had issues with Streamlabs myself but perhaps to trouble shoot maybe download another OBS program to test.
Hey, I am using the same converter with a Game Capture HD60 but it does not detect a signal in OBS. It works with my switch but not the Wii. I changed HDMI cords, disconnected updated drivers, restarted, etc. nothing. Any advice?
Still having the issue Wormy?
I didn't have an issue with the HD60 although I used the 4K mark pro 2 for the purpose of this video. I can't see why it would block the signal or have an issue. It maybe the OBS program. Just check if there are two showing in the drop down when you go to add the game capture to the scene (layout).
how to connect the stream to the wii?
Does anybody else get an issue doing it this way where the game audio desyncs from the game video over time? It becomes noticeable for me about 45 mins in and gets progressively more and more delayed over time
Mine works well I haven't had that issue sorry :) Perhaps another viewer will comment.
Nice
Can you use a regular component to hdmi converter to stream
Yes of course. The one I own has issues with green on all Nintendo consoles which is why I don't use it. I've been meaning to buy a number of them (cheap to expensive) to test and give everyone an my findings.
Does it make the picture more sharper and cleaner ?
Hi Brayden for me yes it has and you can have a look at a 1080p stream over on twitch at twitch.tv/RetroGamerGirlAU
We just purchased a Wii to start streaming retro games to youtube. After plugging the Wii to HDMI into the Wii and into our monitor the screen is black in OBS. Any ideas?
You still require a game capture device.
Yeah, I realize that now, Emily. I didn't even hear ya say that and I've been on computers since '84!! lol I just ordered the HD60+ so I'll be good to go and we can start streaming retro games! Thanks for the great content btw. I may not comment, but I do watch and give likes.
@@therealdandyhouse All good Paulie. I have the HD60 (old version) and it hasn't missed a beat. I use both as I sometimes stream from my laptop to.
I love this little device it works well for the price tag. Possibly even you'll be able to adjust the aspect ration manually for this like I did in my NEOTECK video if you've seen that one? Have a great day and happy gaming 🥳
@@TeamRetro The only other concern I have is the in the Wii settings. Oddly I can't choose HDYV380p, it's greyed out. Of course OBS wasn't able to see the Wii and when I hooked up the Wii using the Wii to HDMI adapter and directly to one of my monitors I get a report of "out of range." I hope and pray the Elgato will remedy that for me. No, I didn't see the NEOTECK video, but off to check it out! Enjoy and stay safe!
Good video! But how do I get it to stream on my OBS? Do I need 2 screens?
If you don't want to switch back and forth on the same screen or you then yes you would need two screens
Are you using a capture card?
I have the wii2hdmi converter and a 4k60 mk.2 just like you are using in the video. everything is plugged into the right places just like i would be streaming for xbox or ps4. My monitor(s) support the required resolution. Are you using an HDMI splitter in between the wii and capture card? what is the device that you are plugging the hdmi cord into at 2:47 into the video?
Thank you for the comment. The only reason in this video I used a splitter but didn't reference it is because the HDMI cable I'm using has a fault. It's a 12 meter that struggles to work via my 4K switch box directly so I have to split it before it plugs in for any console I use.
My setup is difficult to show and explain most times as the PC is on one side of the room and the consoles are on the other side.
@@TeamRetro based on my comment, can you try to guess why my 4k60 pro won't pick up the wii? I have all of the same equipment that you have and tried plugging everything in to as many combinations and cords as I could think of and still nothing
@@joshkonitzer5877 It's so odd it's not working. Have you tried the device to your TV directly just to test that it's not the connector?
You don't happen to have a splitter also just to test?
can you tell me if wii2hdmi work direct on monitor? or i will need a Splitter...
If you're not capturing - only playing on your display it won't require a splitter or game capture. thanks for watching
Great video 👍👍
Thanks for watching
What r ur obs settings. Mine wont come on the screen
It could be a HDMI issue. I would turn off / re start your computer again. I hope this helps.
@@TeamRetro oh the wii works fine its playing gamecube games on the wii that is a problem. So I needa to get the colored thing converter
Camera?
Hi ...
Got the adapter and trying to hook it up to OBS via my capture card but its not picking it up. Any tips?
There shouldn't be any issues.
I would check the capture software is updated and potentially that the adaptor isn't faulty. So directly go to your TV etc. first to trouble shoot that it's the capture card not picking it up?
@@TeamRetro TV settings was right on the money!!! Thank you!!! :)
Great video btw
@@SniperTheSwift Awesome glad I could help!
Any recommendations for a ps2 cheap hdmi converter?
I'm currently going to test the Hyperkin cable. I'll have that up this week 😊
Retro Gamer Girl nice I’ll def watch
Why does no one ever mention anything about lag with these?
I didn't have lag whilst playing Animal Crossing.
Also for the price if you can't afford much it works well which is the purpose of the video ✌️
Hey babe I hope you’re having a great day :)
I spot Penguin land ! Mark 3
How can I get my wii audio into my streamlabs?
Have you figured it out yet? I have the same issue
@@ToxicSESH yea, for some reason since I have elgato OBS downloaded, I just went in there and changed my audio thru hdmi and it started working. Sounds confusing but it worked. I just kept playing with the program and it started to get audio thru streamlabs
@@flacotaco5154 you have a discord or something where you can send me pictures of the settings you have on obs? I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while
@@ToxicSESH discord.gg/3A23cw9N
I’ll post the pictures up later today
Do I need a switch box for this to work?
No not at all - I just show that is how I capture / my setup.
You will need a capture card if you wish to record it or stream. If you're just using this on your TV it's plug and play in your HDMI port. Have a lovely day,
@@TeamRetro I see, thank you for the explanation!
@@kevinsundelin8639 No trouble at all Kevin. Have a nice day
Does it work with the N64??
I have the Hyperkin cable that works with the N64 to review and have up this week ✌️
I’m literally here so I can record animal crossing then she pulls the game out
Thanks for popping by my channel
@@TeamRetro one last thing I bought that game and the Japanese version of wild world
Does it work on laptop? -without monitors?
If you have a HDMI port it will plug in to use but remember if you require a capture card to record the screen gameplay / if you wanted to stream to a live audience. I have covered more in depth on this on my NEOTECK video so you can see how I setup to record the screen:
czcams.com/video/vadH456RLiU/video.html
If you just wish to play and use your laptop as a screen I can't see why it wouldn't work it would just be plug and play.
Is this fofr recording, are you bwing LIT
Huh, That WAS Pretty easy!
Cheap solution to! I think it's a good little device
@@TeamRetro It sure is!
You think this is good till u find out that it stretches some gamecube games out of 4:3 aspect ratio.
Most TVs have a setting to adjust the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 I just manually change it depending on what console I’m using
wait so i need a capture card that i don't have and a 2nd screen that i don't have
FUCK
Thats if you want to stream you dont need if it you just want to llay
For some reason the screen is all grey when I open it on obs. Someone please help!
3 thumb down still too stupid to follow these directions lol
The Wii U is crap for Wii games. Many of them have a problem (mine does this and it forced me to buy a Wii just to play Wii games) where you click Wii mode. It will make it MANDATORY to use a Wiimote to choose do you want to display it on your tv or gamepad? Then it will not recognize the Wiimote at all making it literally IMPOSSIBLE to proceed. Oh, and if by some technical wizardry by hacking the goddamned thing or via a Christ-like miracle you manage to get past that screen it's irrelevant which mode you pick you're playing it on the GAMEPAD. So you're screwed either way. It's a known issue and Nintendo has never bothered to fix it. So if your Wii U freezes you out of the Wii mode just buy a Wii with this adapter and if you don't own a Wii U and just plan on using it for Wii games just buy a Wii with this adapter. The Wii U is shit. There I said it.
I didn't test the Wii U in this video. I always use my Wii for Wii and or Gamecube games since my OG GameCube isn't working at the moment :)
