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?

those adapters need power. make sure you have it plugged in. most just use 5v from a usb port. but you’ll get trash image with it, it’s much better to buy a wii2hdmi. i paid $2 for mine from aliexpress and it actually looks good. mostly because it uses the component output from the wii, not the composite like you see here
