I also have a Wii and I already have a black one of these adapters (which will probably also look better for the Xbox) but this one has auto upscaling. Does one of you guys know whats the difference and which one to buy? I have this one myself: Aliexpress And this one with the "hole" should be a version with manual upscaling through a needle Ebay Thanks for the tutorial, can't wait tot try it out just get the normal one and skip the up-scaling one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextria Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hello, After failing to install N64 freaks HDMI mod I installed the Wii2HDMI internaly. It is working only some of the colours don't look right, like when the xbox starts the logo is light green and the Evo-x logo is almost gray, I resoldered everything 2 times an did a check with the multi meter, and everything looks okay. Anyone have an idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Does anyone have pictures of how they wired up this adapter (both sides if possible) ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty of pictures but I can't post them here because there is a restriction to how many photos that we can upload and I guess I reached that limit. A few pointers I guess. All those wii2hdmi adapters use the same rules but there are many PCBs and chips used so each different type has different results. (i.e. this weekend I received a new type that was incapable of handling all the necessary screen resolutions.) However, they all have three different wires to handle the component video signals. There is a wire for the LEFT audio signal and another for the RIGHT audio signal. And then, you will need 5 volts of power. Two wires will be used as jumpers to set the HD mode. And finally, a whole bunch of ground pins. In my mod, I use shielded wires (from the original MS video cables) for the component video signals and I ground all the ground pins together. I also use 26 AWG wire for the other wires. As far as the diagrams go, I'm not fussy about which ground pad to solder to. I choose the best route visually (given that I am using some shielded wires). Take a look at Frank's video (linked below). He does a great job at explaining things. Keep in mind my suggestions when watching it and carrying out this mod.) You can finish off the mod with a 3D printed cap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbh44 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Would love to buy one if someone had a Spare? Will pay good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I second that. I would like to have 2 or 3 premade adapters. One for each of my systems with XCM shells:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEK Nemesis Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 @Sbh44 @XC-3730C I make them and send them all over the world. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextria Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I still have the color problem, i soldered all the wires again and use a other board. but still have the problem the green color doesn’t look good. maybe I messed something up while installing N64 freaks hdmi mod Edited June 28, 2019 by Nextria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmate Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Check your soldering It's a bit hard to tell but in the 2nd and 3rd photos where the 3 wires are at the bottom near R5M5/6/7 it looks like the blob on the left is overlapping the track from the middle wire, and maybe the middle and right pads have a small dag bridging the two?

Hey it looks like that but I checked everything with my multimeter and there are no bridges. Also I soldered everything 3 or 4 times and keep getting the same problem. Could it be the wii2hdmi boards ? EDIT: I was looking with my multimeter on the points I soldered before, and one of the resistors(?) Seems to be shorting, I don't know If it should do like this but when I measure it with continuity it shows its shorting, its FB4A1 or F84A1 I can't really read it anymore.

KaosEngineer Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 When installed internally, You can't easily keep the AV port intact with the Wii2HDMI attached. It requires jumpering the MODE pins to select high-definition video output. Now, if you modify the wiring some to have switches instead of directly soldering the required mode lines to ground. The AV port could still be used with a composite or other Xbox video cable. The cable connects the mode pins to the required signal to select the proper video MODE of operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they are for internally installing the Wii2HDMI. Or, are you just waiting for the Wii2HDMI modules themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB normally means Ferrite Bead, and you would expect it to be short or close to, it is there to block high frequency noise either being emitted or received, much the same as the beads you see on video cables etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I shorted something on this motherboard during the installation of N64 freaks HDMI mod. By accident I soldered the 5v to the 3,3v on the hdmi board breaking it. Could I have damaged something on the Xbox with this as well? And what could it be, everything works except for some colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinislam Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Ive just done the mod and 720p is clear but all other resolution has a wavy distortion. Any idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextria Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I have A new problem with another Xbox. i installed the wii2hdmi everything is working only I get distorted sound. i resoldered everything, still the same problem. Than I used another board I had have, but still the same. i used different hdmi cables different ports. but keep getting the same problem. any ideas?

I could only assume that it is a soldering problem. Please take clear photos of the top and bottom so that we can see the work. Also, try removing one of the audio channels. There is one for the left and one for the right. So, remove one and then plug it in and see how the sound it. Re-solder it and do the same for the other audio side. Make adjustments from there. (But, I would still like to see pictures.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello TEK Nemesis, i will check tonight or tomorrow morning. i will first make some pictures, and will desolder one of the audio wires and check again, this is also the first time i have this, i hope i can fix it, i already destroyed two motherboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextria Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hey TEK Nemesis, i removed the left Audio first and checked. still the same, than I did the right one, also the same. Than I did a complete cleanup resolder everything. And still the same, i did continuity test with my multimeter. and everything is connected i think I screwed something up on the broad, but cant seem to find what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messing up boards is not the end of the world. And just because you can't revive them it doesn't mean that they no longer hold value to someone. I'm sure that there are still some good components on them and they could probably be revived in the right hands. This just tells me that you are eager to learn. Good for you. You'll get there one day. Now you have a couple of practice boards to learn other skills on. You could easily find another Xbox for $20 and try again on that one. Maybe one day, you'll return to one of these boards and fully repair them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEK Nemesis Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 @Nextria, when you remove both audio wires altogether, do you hear the same problem or does it go away? Also, clean up that area on the board with isopropyl alcohol. It will be easier for my old eyes to see and it might actually clear up a problem.
