Interesting question
« on: June 12, 2008, 07:00:01 AM »
I've been looking for some time to make my Wii which uses component to output to VGA or DVI. However, I've been so far, unable to find a product that does this well, and cheaply. I'm looking for something with a $30 price tag or less...anybody know?

Yeah, I found a few, but they're all like 60 dollars.
Anyone know of like a cable or something?

Check this out.  It isn't an adapter, but rather a video cable for the Wii with both Component and VGA connections on the end.

Here's exactly what you are looking for...link

Go to ebay and search "Wii VGA" and you'll find what your looking for.

Doesn't Wii output in HDMI as well? HDMI I believe is compatible with the DVI connections. Ie....you can output with the DVI connector from a video card to HDMI with only a cable, no converter needed. I'm sure the opposite must apply.

Nope, Wii is composite, s-video, and component.  Thats all.

Yeah
Someone suggested hooking the Wii up to an HDTV and setting the resolution to 480p
But I hooked it up to my HDTV, at 720p and it didn't recognize that it was HD. Weird.

i would say try hooking it up as interlaced not progressive. surprisingly not many tvs can do progressive. i suggest setting everything to minimum (standard def, non wide) and working upwards from there.

I tried, it didn't work, it didn't recognize that I had an 720p tv...so it was set at default, I think it's my monitor not supporting that resolution.
