I got my Mayflash for 16 bucks after a WII2HDMI failure. Found the mclassic "on sale"for 80 bucks and paired them. Most of my GameCube games in progressive scan mode look like I'm playing switch. The intro to smash bros melee and soul calibur 2 shocked me how good it looked on my 1080p plasma👌
Would you say the Mayflash is better than the Mclassic for the Wii?
@@nuk3dtwinki338 I'm pretty sure the mclassic won't work without upscaling to at least 480P which the Mayflash does. So definitely get the Mayflash first then decide later if you want to add the icing on the cake (mclassic).
@@mrbungle589 Thank you so much for the reply! I just got a modded Wii and the graphics aren’t good. I keep it at 4:3 with the original AV cables on a 4k UHD TV and I adjusted the video settings but it’s still blurry. I appreciate the advice!!
@@nuk3dtwinki338there’s mods that let you get rid of the blur filter put on every Wii game for literally no reason other than Nintendo wanting it.
I just got a wii recently and just realized about all the awesome things a modded wii can do. I'm preparing to jailbreak mine for the first time soon!!
How can you mod or jailbreak it?

I have been using the Mayflash HDMI adapter for Wii for about a year now and was very surprised with the quality of the picture. In my opinion it outputs an even better picture than a Wii U.
Tbf the Wii itself produces a better signal than the Wii U, especially with the emulated Wii
@@exonymat1471 ik this comment is old but my question is why is that though, why does it output better than a wiiu?
@@SlickNy1924nintendo decided not to hire people that did wii backward compatibility
better than the Wii U huh?
I currently have the Wii2HDMI and it is not friendly with capture cards.
Does Mayflash work any better?
The regular hdmi dongle outputs video and audio well enough- I just get a bit annoyed at the pure SIZE of it. The Mayflash being half the size of that is probably worth taking into consideration.
Thank you for the recommendation. I've been trying to decide between wii to hdmi and rca to hdmi, but now if I do get one I think I'll use this one.
when I saw the price of the mayflash I was like that sounded reasonable. Thought it was about what I paid for wii2hdmi, looked it up and that was true, same price. I was shocked that was 10 years ago, so price has come down. We used that think like crazy, it was the best at the time.
Thanks for the infos about this option. I got 2 wii2hdmi dongles. One output only at 480p even if its label 1080p, the other one has a small button you can press and you can change from 480p,720p,1080p.
Mine is set to 720p, was the best picture on my 720p native projector.
What’s the other one with the button called
Yeah what's it called? Why wouldn't you say? Are you thick?
Salut, j'ai un soucis avec ma console. J'ai un écran noir depuis que j'ai modifié les paramètres d'affichage en HDTV... J'ai testé avec un câble YUV mais exactement la même chose... Comment faire ?
I personally use the included composite to scart converter. The color doeent get washed out and sure its still 480i but i like that retro interlaced look
4 times the price but only $20. I would go with the Mayflash. I've had a really good experience with their products
20 Dollars?
In Germany 50€ not for this orice dafuq
@@DeadCrasher Use a VPN
I have that upscaler. The "washed out" colors and compressed audio are a result of the upscaler, not the cable.
Do you have to plug the hdmi and then an audio mini plug jack to the tv to get the sound on both dongles?
I use the Hyperkin cable and looked at some video to compare the colors against Dolphin and it is the best all in one option. Does the Mayflash adapter passthrough the 480p signal ? (Edit : It seems to be the case with the information I got online.)
Since i'm from brazil i had to get this one imported and it was expensive plus the wait was quite long but it was worth it. Picture quality really good, also the sound, i never thought the difference between 480i and 480p would be so colossal. :D
Yeah, and this mayflash one is nice quality to.
It's great you like it 🦾
Does anyone knows FOR SURE if this mayflash gets the component signal or the composite like the wii2hdmi does?
My Wii won't let select hd option on the option screen, do you know why?
I tried using the wii2hdmi on my wii to obs and I was using my Mac but I only got the audio working and I couldn’t see the screen
Is the may flash just plug in and go or do you need anything else
I am using the Mayflash but getting black and white graphics. In the Wii settings, I see the option but cannot choose the 480p setting.
Is there a way to convert the screen ratio of 4:3 screen ratio into 16:9 because if you use the hdmi adaptor you’ll be forced to use 4:3 screen ratio
I've seen online here that the HD Video Convert (SCART/HDMI to HDMI) introduces a decent amount of lag and is probably not the best solution for upscaling retro game consoles if you are playing.
Nice comparation. Would be nice if you can compare the wii2hdmi from electro Shephard vs mayflash . AND also the componet 2 HDMI conversor I Heard this convertion Is better the cons Is a bulky solution
Thanks for this video, super helpful and informative, hope you do more comparisons like this for other consoles in the future
have you tested the bitfunx I hate dongles without stress releaf. I own this mayflash it dose use componet but it also has no stress releaf. btw the wii mini needs to go in trash or be RGB modded
Are the headphone jack cables necessary to get sound?
Can do you the comparison with that hdmi and hyperkon hdmi?
I have an Wii2HDMI connected to my travel Wii in my car, mainly 2 reasons...1. My 10" headrest screen doesn't have speakers & 2. I have a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the Headphone out jack so it syncs to a headset so whoever is in my backseat playing it has no issues
Hi Wicked. Do they do anything like this for the ps1 🤔🤔 Many thanks. Keep up the great work, much appreciated 🤩🤩🕹🕹
i use this adaptor as well.. this adaptor is way better quality than standard converter. I tried the portta component to hdmi first. it had wavy lines. So i exchanged it and the second one also had the wavy noise lines.. so i just went straight for the mayflash converter and it had no issues at all
Even though I hate the wii... its great for local co op games and gamecube games.. and softmod
You hate the wii????
@@CatWarior22 he's an edgelord pc masterbator prolly
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
*does it enable progressive scan on gamecube games ??*
I love GameCube games on Wii because there is Nintendont ;-) My best experience has been with a 19" CRT old school monitor and the original component cable. 480p with F-Zero looks fantastic.
Gamecbube has so many great unique games .. Gz on original component cable btw, probably worth more now than your GC with controllers in mint condition.
I still prefer a good HDMI adapter though, then again.... don't have room for an old CRT TV. Kinda odd those games looked better back then on CRT than most newer games do now. .. hehe.
Im looking for upscaling GC dignal cuz for wii im using my wiiu. So if im right the mayflash is the best way to have a good signal?
Personally it is difficult to see by the way ... mayflash does have better singal out.
Some how you can't see that on CZcams 🙄
Will this work on a 4K smart tv?
Can you do one with the pound and kaico like the hdmi showdown for the wii
What’s the audio like compared to wii2hdmi? I get crackling audio in games like Donkey Kong Country Returns which is really annoying when using the Wii2HDMI
6:32 try'd to let you hear it ... 😁
@@WickedGamerCollector ya but that game doesn’t have the audio clipping issue like Donkey Kong so sadly it wasn’t a good test. It seems the audio is boosted over stock still but maybe not quite as much as the Wii2HDMI
I have 3 of the cheap ones. One has fuzzy video but good audio. One has a good picture but fuzzy audio. One has both bad :D Now I use a Hyperkin Wii HDMI cable which is good enough for me.
How it look with hyperkin wii hdmi cable
@@RICANPAPY27
In comparison vidoes, it looks ok .. mayflash looks a bit better, but not worth another buy imho. It's still a lot better than the cheap wii2hd ones.
mayflash usually is very reliable
Also one of the first brands that made a decent reliable USB-GC Gamepad ports hub thingy....
Couldn't really see much difference, which might be CZcams's fault, but good to know there's an alternative to the Wii2Hdmi, although I'm quite happy with that to be honest.
Yeah... capture card some how removes the weird lines from the Wii2HDMI..
And side by side you can't see it on CZcams... damn it 😥
@@WickedGamerCollector I don't have any lines/interference on my Wii2HDMI, but I do know that it's a bit of a lottery with those devices. I think at the time (years ago) I did remember reading that the black version had a better chipset, so I went for that, but that may not be true now.
There's a new company called Electron Shepherd that make a really nice OG Xbox HDMI adapter, they're looking to make a new Wii HDMI dongle. It might be worth keeping an eye on their page/twitter.
@@bombjack1984
It might be your TV has some noise reduction filtering getting rid of the interference lines. But Wii's analogue signal has interference before it even gets to the HDMI adapter. And the anlogue signal degrades over time due to capacitor aging - all of my Wiis now have black crush and very faint vertical lines on solid blue fields, which are even more visible when converted to HDMI. Another issue with 480p is that TVs may decode the color as HD color, making reds look orangey and washed out, yellows a bit greenish. Wii should have had HDMI built in, this was a terrible decision by Nintendo imo. But in their defence it was only 2006 and HDMI was probably very expensive back then. Where did the time go.
@@Animal_lives_matter
A lot of the Wii's had bad digital signals though ... hence GC is still best on first gen GC's that came with digital ports.
Wii U generally has decent digital output, (and ok upscalng) but need to set it to 480p everytime for stuff like mClassic....
With the HDMI converter, in my smart TV I cannot select the "EDTV/HDTV (480p)" option. It's greyed out. Why?
That is weird... what wii do you have ? A wii mini ?
@@WickedGamerCollector No, a classical Wii. Maybe there is need of a certain kind of TV to enable the EDTV/HDTV option. With a classical wii hdmi converter I can select only 50Hz or 60Hz .. and another problem is a lag/delay when you give the commands with the wii remote (I think the problem is the smart TV)
If you get one of these, make sure it only outputs 480p and no upscaling. Plus you can benefit from the mCable or mClassic using 480p. The upscaling is fake. It’s only there for TV’s that can’t handle lower resolutions well so it sends a fake upscaled signal (DVI) so your TV recognizes it. The Hyperkin is good as it only does 480p.
The Mclassic is not a fake upscale signal. Which is the reason why it also looks even sharper with it. If it was a fake signal, there wouldn't bee any difference from 480p to 1080p/1440p signal. I do agree on the Hyperkin HDMI solution. But you're wrong about the Mclassic. Because I actually run my Wii with the Hyperkin + Mclassic, and the difference is day and night on my TV.
@@JuanDiaz-jo1rw I’m not referring to the mClassic. I’m referring to the Wii2HDMI adapter. That has fake scaling for TV’s that can’t handle 480p signals. I like the mClassic and still use it today.
@@JMLRetroRoom
Imho the mClassic has better picture quality at 720p than even native 1080p Switch games, since it adds 'AA' and edge highlighting etc ...and most Switch games don't even have native 1080p (and you get the benefit of having more overhead, because rendering at a lower aimed res. Which results in fewer framedips in general, but not all games) .
On 480p signal 'output' like the Wii and GameCube though, it's a world of change imho.
It costs a lot though, imho not really worth it for just Switch, but if you also got old consoles that do 480p (or a PS3, which has most games at 720p, and quite unique games), it's at least worth considering.
Have u try the MClassic?
It looks better than the original component cable.
Where is the Hyperkin Wii HDMI cable here?
Witch one is better hyperkin cables or mayflash better solution
From what I've seen, Mayflash is a bit better.. no idea on price of the HyperCable though, seems not in stores in EU.
This might be a silly question but due to multiple reviews on the UK amazon claiming this doesn't work on a PAL wii, I was wondering does it work? I know it ships from the US, I'm assuming these people did not set their settings correctly, just want to make sure before I purchase.
@@AlexMit-yj7rp nice thanks
@@AlexMit-yj7rp Damn really? I've used a cheap HDMI dongle and the virtual console games worked
What about electron and Sewell?
My tv will not display widescreen when using this mayflash adapter, anyone else have the same issue?
It stays 4x3 no matter which way you set it. I have it on a 50” led tv
What games? Not all GC/Wii game even have widescreen iirc, although I think most Wii games have that option .... maybe try some TV options?
Maybe your TV doesn't like 480p, so whatever you got defaults to 720p?
i have the same problem at the menu too (neather if i run games )do you have find solution ?
How’s the latency between all of them? I care about latency a lot specifically with the wii to make it as accurate as possible for motion tracking games
I have the Wii2HDMI adapter and honestly I don't notice any lag, using the wiimote is very responsive
Does this actually work? No latency, No lines?
Почему так смазано? Не включен режим hdtv 480p? У меня через компонент картинка гораздо чётче
This part with a modded wii set to deflicker off extended in usb loader set wii to 480p in wii settings your tv or monitor set to game mode and your wii has rejuvenated
Wii is quite the 'emulation' one, ones modded ... but 'digital out' isn't that great on it in general ... GC games still look better on a DigitalOut capable GC.
Still though, it only uses like 24W orso, compared to GC 39W? And it play like everything (at least Ninty) before it!
does it actually output 1080p or 960 p or something like that ?
Wasn't it not max res. 480p with the wii ?
MAYFLASH is always reliable.
MAYFLASH release one N64 TO HDMI converter . Is it possible to make review for this new adaper?
I purchased one of these, played with the Wiis and TVs settings to get it to work, but no matter what I did.. it had a constant image waving problem. All four sides/edges of the screen were constantly waving. I tried contacting the maker and all I got was a "oh well..." So.. I wouldn't recommend this product.
where do i still get a Mayflash for price like $20 ?
Amazon
I miss my old HDMIKEY...
The comparison is handy but I can’t tell any difference between the Wii2HDMI and the mayflash, but that just might be your upscaler..
Hold on, you compare a SCART cable but don't show it nor tell what analogue signal the SCART is carrying through the cable, the connector can carry several different analogue signals including RGB which is comparative to component. Also, we don't know what analogue signal the HDMI adapters are converting from, we could assume RGB but would rather be told from the products' descriptions since a fuzzy image is only as good as the source.
Be advised that some TVs may display a 'Mode Not Supported' error message. Just seek advice first.
The Mayflash is well worth the price if it gives an interference free image. Unfortunately it's not available in the UK so I make do with component cables into a Portta component to HDMI adapter. Having these plugging into the back is way too bulky and should be run off a cable to eliminate this. I found one that did just that, and guess what?..Tons of interference
Thanks for you feedback 🤗
This is interesting. I've bought 3 Wii2HDMI converters which have all had there own faults - one with distorted audio output, one with faint diagonal scan lines across the screen and huge amounts of input latency and one which had barely any input latency but had very defined vertical lines across the display.
Basically, I'm fed up with these cheap converters and probably going to go down the same route you did - component cables into a component to HDMI converter. So, what is the Portta adapter like? I'm considering buying one.
@@SnifferDogBen I bought the Portta with the recommendation by Bob (RetroRGB) At the time they were deemed to be very good, and i have no issue whatsoever. So long as they haven't changed the internals all should be good. The other bonus of using component cables with a Portta is that it doesn't add 3" to the depth of the Wii.
@@djm9937 Ok brilliant! Thanks for the response. I'll probably buy one.
Amazon sell the Mayflash one in the UK
Most importantly, does the Mayflash Wii 2 HDMI adapter work with GameCube games?
The cheaper £10 ones caused screen location issues...
Otherwise, I'll stick to my Hyperkin Wii cable.
how is that more important in a wii video. ok you are ...
@@310smoker most people use a Wii as a GameCube these days, more affordable and better standard 480p 60hz resolutions to upscale.
And virtual console ? Works Fine ?
@@esk8jaimes
And Wii outputs at standard widescreen (when applied), doesn't it? With GameCube games, not all games have that option....so it's nice to have it auto-corrected.
I've got a very old Wii2HDMI thingy, but it needs a USB port and picture quality isn't that great...even though you can at least 'select' output from 480p-1080p etc, and 'extra colour' etc ... it's also like 10y/o old hehe.

Did add time stamps to this video 😅
I got big whit hd one you have and its ace but coz cheep id like this one
Not a word about input lag ?
must be my eyes or youtube's compression, but I can hardly see it.
Yeah... it's a bummer 😲
The fact that Nintendo didn't change the wii to support hd and hdmi and higher resolutions seems like a missed opportunity
I've got the cheapest eBay special adapter. Paid 5$i think and i haven't had 1 issue with it.
Will it work for stop WiFi errors?
What does a picture signal have to do with WiFi? .... probably: don't have big walls/glass between Wii and your router would solve the 'WiFi' problem....
A HDMI adapter for sure won't. Unless in some rare occasion where 'some device' draws power away from other peripherils to 'give WiFi'.... but I've yet to see it, in my LIFE.
Have you noticed any increased input latency with this thing?
I'm not the right guy to ask this.
Don't really notice these things somehow or it needs to be 5 seconds or something like that 😆
how is this compared to playing wii games on the wii u?
wii u vwii hdmi output is terrible
@@gamecubeplayer damn...
Wii U has a pretty decent digital output, better than Wiis ... but it's upscaling isn't perfect. Best is to set output in 480p and use something like mClassic orso ... even though the Wii U upscaling ísn't that bad/worth the 100$ extra for just using Wii on Wii U ...
If you also got other older consoles (that output at 480p/720p) though, you might want to consider it.
GC is best on an older GC with Digital Output though, but only by a small margin.
@@CommDante ahh okay much thanks for the info!
I don’t know where you found your pricing because the Mayflash on is $15 and the other is $8 so it’s not 4 times more expensive
$15 is ridiculous...lol

Hey the wii u has and hdmi port. And has wii console built in
Yes, but no GameCube support like the older Wii consoles. Which to me is a big plus. My WiiU took a crap on me when I went to do an update recently. Ridiculous, I never had any problems with it ever, and bought it brand new awhile back. So went for a used Wii on eBay for $30.

ive bought 4 different hdmi adapters from Amazon, none of them ever worked.
None at all? Did you try different cables? They should at least give a picture, horrible as it may be ... if not: probably need a better cable as most digital cables either give a signal, or not (or keep disconnecting/black screening in between).

My 2012, 43" LG 1080p tv has 3 HDMI, VGA input and output, SCART, composite and component.

What do they have in common? None of them has the component input! Everyone does include a composite (RCA), but I have yet to find a model with component.

A better comparison would of been a component to hdmi converter. Like the Portta. I have used the cheap wii to hdmi adapters and they are no good. Mayflash is better but it does not support virtual console games example like Mario Kart 64 which is a big bummer for me. I just purchased the Portta component to Hdmi to compare with the mayflash and also to see if the Portta converter can work with Virtual Console games
How .much of a difference do you see?
@@olsonbryce777 Not much of a difference but I would still go with the portta since it uses component cables to hdmi. I have been using it ever since and works great no issues.
