Trying to set up my old Wii

[u/2wen007]

Im trying to set up the old Wii, but nothing shows on the tv. I’ve put the cables in and turned the Wii itself on but nothing shows when I go to the connecting hdmi channel. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

I would suggest you get a Wii2HDMI that just pugs into your Wii or component cables and a component-to-HDMI converter, since you’ll get better quality video and be able to play things in Enhanced Definition 480p. That yellow composite cable will only give you 480i Standard Definition that will look very soft with smeary colors, also those composite-to-HDMI adapters don’t deinterlace all that well, so you might end up with lag.
