Will this upscale Wii games and Gamecube games from 480p to 1080p via component cables through the hdmi output?

Robert, I am not sure. I have a smaller version of this converter. I was trying it with my Direct TV receiver box to see if I could change my display settings and I kept getting an error message saying my TV was not HD compatible which is true as my TV does not have any HDMI inputs. So no, I could not go from 480 to 1080 in my situation. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck!

HDMI would be the solution for the greatest resolution and do your games justice, enjoy!

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

To a greater extent, YES. The unit takes you from RCA jacks with 720 and up-converts you to 1080i. It's like going form VHS to DVD. The difference is also noticeable when playing wii games. Our grandchildren have the first wii and could tell the difference. WE have had it for 6 months and love it.

Scott, glad you found the post useful. I believe the Wii's max resolution is 480p, so there's some conversation going on, maybe? Like you I don't really understand the details on this stuff. I do know that I haven't had problem at all with audio and video being out of sync using the 720.

Yes - the Wii cables are replaced by this device and a stand-alone HDMI cable. Please read reviews and use at your own risk.

No, the upscaling only works on analog connections. It passes HDMI through as-is.

I Nintendo Wii and I connected the old audio/video cable to HD. After there I change the source HMI to AV.

I don't know about all WiiU's but this model only supports HDMI which was also provided with the system. I hope this helps.

Yes. The device acts as a pass-through for the HDMI cable. The device plugs directly into the Wii then an HDMI cable (standard male to male) extends from the device to the monitor. Old A/V cables are not needed.

It should work fine with the Wii mode on the Wii U, but it would be regular Wii quality, not HD.

Yes, but the device doesn't do any scaling. So your HDMI device must be pushing a 1080i signal.

Once u plug the HDMI cable into the wii2hdmi and then into your HD tv u will be able to hear the Wii system coming from your TV's built in speakers... I hope this helped. P.S. An HDMI cable will always allow sound and audio to be played just better and less cables.

I wouldn't know - I bought it to play my Wii on a computer screen. So I can't say anything about HDTVs. All I can say is that there is no lag whatsoever in my case. Sorry !

Probably Not Due to HDMI Copy Protection Coming From The Wii which the BMD does not circumvent

As long as your monitor supports VGA then it will output whatever your video card can support then yes it should output to a 1080 resolution with that cable I am selling

The best signal you will be able to get via component cabling is "1080i" upscaling does nothing to this one way or another. Your only gain using HDMI before your TV would be less cabling as their bandwidth is worthless due to yoru tv having the wrong inputs. I would recommend the HDMI cables just incase you ever upgrade to a newer tv and find out "crap I don't have the best cables for this, now I have to go buy them."
