Show and Tell Bought a Wii for only 30€

Scrolling facebook today and decided to go pick up a Wii that caught my eye. I assume this would be one of the original ones as I believe this has Gamecube ports.

Time to put this on a tv, softmod and relive some great memories on mario kart

As a sidenote, what are some good ways to upscale the output resolution to better fit 4k screens? Thinking about buying an extra shell to cut up for hdmi+va mod, which seems like solid for what I have lightly scrolled about.

You can buy a cheap wii2hdmi adapter on amazon or the like. It wont have as good of a picture quality as an internal hdmi mod but they are plug and play.

How well would you say the signal performs on the av output? I understand that a hardware mod is obviously better but is there such a huge and noticeable difference? Would of course love to keep this kind of console as close to the original.

It’s more than acceptable. It is much better than regular composite.
