All modern TV's and displays convert the analog signal to a digital signal. So even if you plug the component cables directly into your display, the signal is being converted to a digital signal. The difference with the Wii2HDMI is that it would be handling the conversion rather than your TV. The trouble with that is that your TV likely does a much better job of converting and upscaling the signal than the Wii2HDMI.Also, whenever one signal is converted to another signal, quality is lost. Component video is what we call analog signal. It then has to be converted to a digital signal (the signal HDMI uses). Since some quality is lost in that conversion, the video will not look as nice and crisp. Whatever the chips on the board itself can output is the best signal we are going to get. And since Aurelio made it that the Wii can natively output VGA, that is the best type of analog video signal you can get from your Wii.
That is a HDMI to DVI cable. Not a VGA cable. Even if it was an HDMI to vga cable, they usually only work one way from HDMI to VGA. VGA patch is the best way to get VGA out on a portable. If you want 480p on a portable screen, the VGA patch is your best bet.Id probably use VGA then a cable like the one below to convert it to HDMI. Would this give greater quality then using a Wii2HDMi (composite to HDMI)? Also I'm guessing I'd need to complete the VGA patch to have VGA out of my portable?
Thanks
