    cant solder? Don't have time or patients to make one of these? But still want to enjoy HDMI video for the original Xbox? not to fear. I'm offering this pre-made to anyone in Canada or the US. for a small fee. message me through Facebook type in Retro Pro Frank and throw me a p.m. if interested thank you
    I've seen this done a few times before. Searched up and down on the internet for some sort of schematic could not find anything. Ask some of the forum members they only showed me finished product and not revealing technique.
    spent a couple of work nights figuring it out
    she's working great..
    this video was a little difficult to film because the camera was in the way all the time so it's like I had to solder with an obstacle right in the way.
    any event that worked out great even though I had a hiccup with the defective board that was sent...
    that being said please use caution when buying. I ordered three and one of them was defective. You can use any supplier you like I just linked to the person I bought from you can use anybody you like.
    also I would love to give a shout out to James R. Once I had all the master drawings together. I passed it on to him he did some amazing work in order to make the PDF wiring schematic a lot cleaner than the hand drawing papers I took a picture and sent to him .. looks better now :)

    Hi, just wanna say thanks!
    I bought 2 of the converters online along with sacrificial composite cable.. When it arrived, 1 of them is kinda different, it's black with curved housing and it's easy to open on the side. The layout inside with one large grounding point instead of 2 square grounding. So I'd give it a shot and it worked!

    Awesome!!! thanks for this Video!!!!
    I was able to build my "XBOX2HDMI" adaptor following your tutorial.
    I will be using this adaptor for my second OG xbox which is dedicated to XBMC-emustation only, and my impression is that I like it better that hooking up this xbox through my OSSC, (I will use my main OG XBOX with my OSSC though). I never found a proper configuration with my OSSC to play 240p games with the OG xbox, but this little mod works out better with the filters that come within the emulators in the xbmc-E.
    My comments for anyone planning to do it, as Frank says, check there are no bridges between that contacts and also, (very important) hot glue that thing. My God, before the hot glue, I was having such a hard time to keep everything in place.
    Thanks so much again for this video!!! two thumbs up!

    Hello mate. I followed your tutorial, it wasn't easy. In my first try it did not work... I used very thin cables,the soldering was very bad... then I realized that I have one of those xbox360 connectors, so after starting again from scratch using your diagrams, I finally succeeded, it works quite well. I used the white wii2hdmi, it is technically identical. Thank you mate. Before this amazing mod, I used to connect the Xbox to one of those GBS RGB converters, but it was quite messy, now it looks better. Thanks again. Cheers.

    • @Retroprofrank
      @Retroprofrank  Před 5 lety +1

      Took me a couple of days to get the wiring just right. There were some sort of write ups on how to do this. And image attached... what the problem was there wasn't a straight wiring diagram that showed Dport connection from the original Xbox 2 wii2hdmi.... yes it might have had an image that showed the wii2hdmi diagram. And a different diagram that showed all the outputs from the original Xbox Deport.. but not showing where the connections from the D port to the Wii HDMI directly. Seen a picture of someone trying to show these to Connected the problem was there was so many lines going from one side to the other in considering the Deport has two rows of pins. It's impossible to decipher. It would be more confusing than anything. So at that point when I seen this I said I cannot use this. So I ended up using the one diagram for the Deport and off of that trying to use common sense. Of where to solder wires. Definitely helped. If you notice in this video my wiring diagram shows a total of 5 grounding wires. You won't find this anywhere else even if you try to decipher the original which is more confusing that anyting.. to be perfectly honest with you I tried to tracklist back to the original inventor who came up with this idea. I spent a week on forms asking people if they knew and I found out that the Brazilians came up with the idea.. and I tracked it down to one main person. I message this person directly he told me that he was the first one to ever come up with this idea. No I did see one sort of schematic that was in either Portuguese or Brazilian or Mexican. It made no sense though. It was almost there to throw people off. So when I asked him about this he admitted that he made this diagram. And I told him well it doesn't make sense it's not going to work he said I know. He went on to tell me that he had different schematics. But he would not share them to anyone. I think that is a very selfish. Also went on to find out that they are charging around 40 to 50 USD a piece for this mod. So this is the reason why they won't release any schematics. Obviously they were making money off their own people. At that point I figured I would not give this person any credit considering he pretty much put out fake information to mislead people purposely which I find run. I'm merely figure it out the wiring myself because none of the schematics could have been entrusted. And I cleaned up the schematics completely so it's easy for people to understand. So I hand Drew my masters. I had a member offer to make it look a lot better graphically if I send him the original master schematics that I made. I thought that he was being nice by offering this but thinking about it it was just because he wanted to start making them and selling them. So I sent him the Masters. Then he sent me back a very cleaned up version of my masters. Which he did a good job on. In any event I hope that you were able to make your own from either this video or the drawings in the description of the video. Thanks for the comment and have a good day

      I've now successfully completed my first Wii2HDMI mod! Following your tutorial made it straight forward and resulted in success first time around so thanks for the detailed guide. Actually one of the trickiest parts for me was how to put the whole thing together neatly, but I found that by losing the bottom metal part of the Xbox connector enclosure, you can hot-glue the board directly into the top part of the metal Xbox connector casing. As long as you allow room for the board to sit in its guide rails, the whole thing slides neatly into the plastic case and is very sturdy.The picture output is great and an improvement on my component cable, although the picture takes longer to kick in on start-up so you lose the flubber annimation and splashscreen on XBMC4Gamers. BTW I used the white version of the Wii2HDMI - the board inside seems identical and its easier to get here in the UK.

I was glad I was able to help you out your number 24 that had great success. I've only heard of one person having a difficult time. But I think that person doesn't really have too much experience with soldering. Other than that it's great to hear the great news. Who cares about Flubber animation question mark what matters is gameplay and scrolling through your gamers in HD. Thank you very much for watching this video I hope you subscribe to the channel and give me a thumbs up please share this video with your family and friends and anybody else online who might be interested in this mod.

    @NanoBl Před 5 lety +2

    BLowing on solders is not recommended it can create bd solders. Also, are you sure all those ground wire are necessary? There are many ground pin on the connector do facilitate the soldering of coaxial cables but in the end it's all connected together. In fact soldering them all instead of one might create more noise.

    • @Retroprofrank
      @Retroprofrank  Před 5 lety

      Yeah I'm sure did you not watch the video to the end when I show how clear it ended up looking with all 5 ground wires. If you want to be a butcher and use one ground wire that's fine with me. If you like to cut corners and that's your kind of thing go ahead. Me I will continue to do it this way because I know the video quality looks great this way

      Out of a hundred people maybe one or two only using by one audio. If you would like to add coax. By all means you can do whatever you like. Majority of the people playing this are using the two speakers out of their TV for sound. Last I heard TVs don't have 5 speakers built-in and even if they did they would not be positioned properly for True 5 1 audio

      Works exactly like your component cables. This is not an upscaler by any means this is just simple video converter that converts component to HDMI.
