This tiny, power-packed module takes in the native Component video and analog audio output from the Nintendo Wii and outputs a crisp HDMI™ video stream. This module utilizes a fully custom PCB with a higher quality, next generation IC compared to what is typically used on the widely available, low quality analog-to-digital modules that are readily available online. The low quality construction of those other modules often leads to video and audio with interference that inhibits enjoyable gameplay. If you are not happy with those modules, then you will absolutely be happy with these.

This adapter works amazing!

This adapter works amazing! Perfect if you don’t have any composite input screens or tvs and it’s so small I just leave it plugged into the Wii at all times. And I feel like the image quality that comes out of it is so much crisper than the original all my games look so good. Wonderful product

Great Product

Works just as advertised. Pretty good quality image for a Wii. Makes the hdmi 480p compatible instead of just 480i. Would definitely recommend.

Great Improvement over Generic Adapters

The wavy lines in my previous adapter are completely absent when using this, which is what I really enjoyed. However the system seems to suffer from this strange quirk on my 4K LG TV, where colors, especially blacks, are harshly dark in some cases. This is most notable when running a classic Resident Evil off of the system, like the RE1 remake.
The most odd thing about this was, if you unplug and replug the HDMI adapter back in, the color seems to adjust back to normal. This unfortunately doesn't last, because when you boot the console off, a green line will flicker across the screen for a second, and when you boot it back on, the colors revert back to being darker. I have no idea why this happens, but I find it very odd. I don't seem to run into this issue when using AV cables. Aside from that, it's definitely worth getting as a step-up from shotty adapters on common retailers. I just wish I could tell you if the problem I suffered from was due to the adapter, my Wii, or television. Hopefully the developer of this can shed some light on that.

Many thanks

Although this didn’t work out for me, the seller was helpful in facilitating a return. Many thanks.

Hi Samuel -

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your setup! The behavior that you're describing of the video cutting in and out is common for setups where the TV/display that is being used is unable to accept low resolution 480i or 480p video via HDMI inputs. I recommend trying your setup on a different TV/display to confirm that that is the issue. If something else is going on, then I'm happy to investigate it with you and process a refund or replacement if you'd prefer!
