Looks like you didn't turn on 480p output. The mod is basically working with 480i and providing simple line doubling. This is far from optimal result. You need to set it to progressive output to get the best picture out of your console.
You can literally see the inerlacing in the video lol
No wonder you think it's garbage, you have your system running at 480i instead of 480p. Not to mention you didn't disable the blur filter and fix the pixel scaling in widescreen with homebrew.
Claiming the Wii is now "HD" due to a HDMI mod is WILDLY misleading for those who don't know better. It's a 480p console, so SD regardless of a HDMI output.
I just want an ips style better screens for the ds
As someone who got the HDMI mod directly from the creator's website: it looks incredible over HDMI, and when coupled with software modding (ie: homebrew toggles that turn off the CRT blur filter and other unnecessary scaling options), it looks stunning at 480p, especially with the scanline filter applied (my personal preference).
I have also installed both versions of this mod (ie: using the two different ribbon cables for the different model Wiis), and got the same result on each system.
So if 480p is a mess (having read the comments), I'd highly suspect it's the mod itself, or whoever sold you the reproduction of the creator's mod.
I don't have a Wii2HDMI for comparison, so I can't say which is better, but I know for certain that Homebrewing a Wii and using an HDMI mod looks amazingly better than the default Wii's video output.
I am surprised whoever sold you the mod didn't include the ribbon for the earlier Wii models; it was a lifesaver having both ribbon cables in the mod kit from the creator!
Yeah I could definitely see it being a bad mod because I got it from someone who lazily cloned it but I also had no idea that there were home brew mods that cleaned it up. Good to know!
@@JakeSimmons Yeah the main difference for visual quality is in Homebrew allowing you to turn the CRT blurring, or whatever it is called, off.
Since the Wii was designed to work with CRT TVs and SD TVs, it just always had that mode turned on since they didn't know which technology their consumers would use.
I have an HDMI modded Wii with the AVE HDMI from Electron Shepered, uses GC Video as well. Seems to work on every TV and monitor I've tried. I've also used it with an mClassic, which works great, but had issues on my Samsung 4K with it cutting in and out. Maybe there are some tweaks I can do but an HDMI modded GameCube (Pluto IIx) with the same GCVideo settings works fine through mClassic. I thought Pixel FX was going to make a Wii Retro GEM but I think they abandoned it.
The next best I think is the HDMI adapter from Electron Sheperd for $25. Runner up would be the Mayflash one from Amazon but thats a Chinese company but better than those $5-$10 Wii2HDMI ones. Mayflash does make good stuff.
Haha, just a Wii bit. I get it!
If you're outputting to an HDTV over HDMI does that mean we have HDMiis
oh i would ABSOLUTELY mess this up
I've thought about doing a mod like this for recording Wii footage directly from a Wii. I have a Wii U though, so maybe I'll just stick with using that instead of doing this mod. It looks like an absolute pain!
Thanks for the honest review - this one will be low down the list of projects looks tough for the barely noticeable results.
This was kinda on him since he didn’t use 480p, which is the best resolution for the Wii since it’s progressive. 576i is the second best, and 480i is the worst. He said in the comments that 480p was a shaky mess, but he didn’t mention that in the video, so it was probably an issue with the mod.
Why are you not using 480p?
480p was a shaky mess
@@JakeSimmons That's strange. The Wii should always look better with 480p since it is a progressive resolution. When I used component cables, I noticed it looked less blurry compared to composite, since 480i is really bad.
Why didn’t you just buy a Wii2Hdmi?
Why didn’t you watch the full video?
@ no time to invest 10 mins on a topic I’m not invested in, got a girl in my ear at all times begging for my attention 🙃
@@BeyondtheBox1 If you're not invested in it, then don't have others answer questions already answered in the video. That's just lazy and rude.
@ can you shut your 2 digit IQ mouth lmfaoooo
