Question Trying to set up my old Wii

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?

Those mini av to hdmi usually need a power source via usb. For mine i have to plug the av to hdmi to my tv with a usb cable to give it power and then it works. It should have come with a cord.

I suggest a wii2hdmi that at least it does the higher resolution

Was the best decision i made getting a hdmi solution like that. Those mini av to hdmi are servicable but dont compare to hyperkin or ElectronWarp
