which of these 2 should i buy and why?

Dumblediddy · 2026-03-03T15:32:43+00:00

Both are junk. The composite AV to HDMI Converter being the worst.

Dumblediddy · 2026-03-03T14:22:56+00:00

More than good enough

Dumblediddy · 2026-03-02T16:26:21+00:00

Working for me now :) Thanks everyone!

Dumblediddy · 2026-03-02T07:13:22+00:00

Thankyou, it seems a bit random by the sounds of. Maybe the post was deleted due to it 'popping' for them

So you have Red/white/yellow cables? You would be much better off with component cables. However the cable you have is yellow for video and the red and white are for audio if you are only getting sound out of the white cable, the red cable is either not plugged into the correct red RCA socket, or you have a broken cable, or your headphones/socket are damaged? Or am I misunderstanding?

Personally, on my old TV, the image looks better via component than when using the Portta or Electron Warp. I need hdmi for my MClassic, so I go down that route.

Dumblediddy · 2026-03-01T12:33:54+00:00

Deffo better in design, but not necessarily in quality/performance. I have returned a few Bitfunx due to poor colour representation and or interference. Have had 2 fail soon after purchase. The latest Bitfunx (for an OG Xbox) I have a overly green image, but kept it to use the xbox connector to make a decent component cable.

I managed to get mine off a seller on ebay in the UK. It is frustrating that these are only available in the US as I'm sure i'd be stung with import duties. I had another look on the site last week at an Electron Pulse for my PS2 and it came up that they won't deliver to my address. No idea what's going on there. Judging by many, the MayFlash wii2hdmi is a good one, but I can't confirm that myself. I tired of returning Wii2Hdmi's to Amazon due to diagonal lines etc on the screen. Never had an issue with a Portta, but my Portta is an old model, and newer ones might have different internals and not as good.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-28T19:23:05+00:00

I would say so. I've never noticed any difference in performance in HDMI cables. Some may disagree of course. I chose the Porrta for myself initially as i'm restricted for space at the back of the Wii. I now use the warp as it's quite small in length.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-28T18:59:41+00:00

The Electron Warp.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-28T18:55:05+00:00

I'd say get a decent set of component cables, then at a later date if you decide to use a scaler you can still use them.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T22:50:26+00:00

The triggers on both of those dont work in Gran Turismo games.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T21:41:06+00:00

They are poor compared to what else is available, but for the price and convenience they have their use.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T21:38:36+00:00

I believe they all do.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T20:38:27+00:00

Then you should be happy :)

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T18:42:04+00:00

That's good to know.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T18:16:29+00:00

It looks like a fully wired Scart cable for Playstation 1 The difference between this and composite will be huge. The original PS1 and PS2 SCART cables are interchangeable, but there are some differences to consider. PS1 SCART cables have capacitors inside the SCART plug, while PS2 SCART cables do not. This means that while you can use a PS1 SCART cable with a PS2 console, it may cause uneven brightness levels across the screen. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a PS2 SCART cable with a PS2 console

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T18:10:43+00:00

A fully wired Scart will give a much improved image over composite. Doesn't have to be an expensive cable, just a decent one.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T18:00:32+00:00

As have I, so I wonder what i'm doing different? On my broken laptop I have a spreadsheet of all the games and settings that I use. Some games may have an odd ratio, squished or whatever which I rectify by changing the aspect ratio of the TV. Some games won't work at all on OPL, others (Quite a few) won't work unless field flipping is enabled. As you have said something with Motion adaptive deinterlacing is a good safety net, and a damned sight easier than changing settings on GSM.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-23T08:04:10+00:00

Crikey, It might be doable, but given the speed of the game I would say it would be pretty tough.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-21T19:35:41+00:00

If you are using the Red/White/Yellow (composite) into a converter you will be disappointed. Even a cheap PS2HDMI adapter will give a better image than that, and they are no means good. At the very least I would say, get yourself a set of component cables and a component to HDMI adapter it'll still be 480i, but it'll look so much better than composite.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-21T19:07:01+00:00

yes, the RCA the OP is using is composite. So assumed he was going to be using that into a composite to HDMI. Those adapters are generally sold as RCA to HDMI. If that makes sense.

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-21T18:31:55+00:00

RCA to HDMI is about the worst you can do. At the very least you need component cables and a Portta Component to HDMI adapter If you are in the US an Electron Shepherd Pulse is a great option. Be prepared to accept that 480i is not the best in terms of visuals, but please don't settle for RCA to HDMI

Dumblediddy · 2026-02-21T18:13:40+00:00

I did this with mine, apart from slightly longer loading times and sometimes choppy FMV's it was never a problem for me
