Release The 2 Dollar Wii Component mod (aka. Here we dont sell that anymore)

[Rocoloco321]

So I was tired of using my wii in composite video, so I tried to search a component cable, the only answer to that was "Here we dont sell it anymore, but theres the wii2hdmi, It can output video at 1080p" Here at Mexico the wii2hdmi costs around 25 dollars.
So i went to a electronic shop and I buyed some cheap rca cables (like one dollar), a usbA female port (like 25 cents) and a switch (like 30 cents)

After geting home I soldered the ypbpr pins to the female to the usbport (All thanks to the Shank's Wii Super Thread), and to the switch(to be able to change between componet and composite)

Nothing to say but after some case modifications and merging the rca cables with a male usb port from a micro usb cable. Now I have a sweet 480p output


Here are some photos of the internals

While I wouldn't personally do it (since I can get component cables off ebay for around 4-6$), I can see how it would be more viable to do this (since non-US shipping can be crazy). Good use of shielded cables as well, did you use ground on the USB port/cable as video ground? That would protect from interference, or at least help

Yes I used the port ground as tbe video ground
