Is anyone using this to play an original Wii on a computer monitor?

i just received my converter, plugged it into my computer monitor (with HDMI) and the picture/ sound cuts in and out. The Monitor says "no input detected". i wait a few seconds and it comes back. I wonder if mine is defective?

I am. However, you need to make sure your computer monitor supports HDMI input.

I have been using the converter to play my wii (I bought my wii when it first came out, so I assume it is the original) on my computer monitor for a few months now, and it works great. I had no trouble getting it to work, and the image is as good as you can expect from a wii.

Yep, I installed mine into an original wii. Make sure you have the required screwdrivers before you start (one is a special hex nut)

I have this and the directions state "This converter is designed for Wii only ! Pls do not connect with other devices" So it's not to be used with the WiiU.

If you have component cables, you can record through the Wii. I actually have my component cables running from the Wii to the Hauppauge, then to my TV, so it definitely works.

I specifically bought this converter so that I could hook up my original Wii to my A/V receiver over HDMI. I am not hooked up to a 4K source, but my receiver is a newer Yamaha HDMI receiver and this product let me easily connect the Wii to it. The picture and sound are both great.

I do not own a wii mini nor have I ever tried connecting this av cable to it BUT, the wii mini is supposedly the copy of the old wii system, and so this cable should work with it. I was able to connect this cable to the wii u and hook my system up to a smart tv. Of course, it wont have HD graphics because this cable is not an HDMI, but if since this wii cable supports the newest nintendo system, again, it should work with the wii mini. Remember to go into systems settings and choose av connection instead of HDMI, if you need to.

No. It's very simple, just plug the convertor into the wii and connect the HDMI cable from the convertor to the television input. That's it you're done and it works great!

I have been using it to play old 8-bit nintendo games. I don't notice any lag at all (I have a 1 ms monitor). it seems to be a fast solution... just wish it were 4:3 aspect meh

Yes it is, if you leave it set to mixed mode (set by default) or change to 802/11g+n then it will also support it. If it is set to allow only 802.11n connections the Wii will not work since the Wii is a 802.11g device.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

The wii might not be compatible with this thing because it doesn't have HDMI input.

Yup, it'll work. I have the HDMI cable plugged into the adapter and a Wii U, and a attached to a VGA cable plugged into the adapter and a computer monitor. I have an auxiliary cable plugged into the adapter and into an amplifier.So yeah, that's my setup and it works perfectly! As long as you have HDMI and VGA slots it should all work.

While I have not done that setup myself, it should still work. Just keep in mind, in my opinion, the 3D conversion feels a little off. Playing an actual 3D source through it works great though.

Yes, yesterday I tried a Nintendo Wii through the analog video input and it passed through to the HDMI output.

It works wit old classic games I have not try it on wii shop games. But so far is a legit good control....I hope this will help you.

The 'Wii 2 HDMI' here on Amazon should serve your purpose. There are a bunch of these being made now, but the 'LKV6000' mini from Lenkeng is the best and is $22 on eBay. You shouldn't pay more than 30-40 bucks, I think.
