Kaico HDMI Adapter with S-Video and Composite Support Compatible with Nintendo N64, 64, Super Nintendo SNES, Famicom and Gamecube. A Simple Plug & Play Pass Through Adaptor Solution

The old CRT box TV I had been using for my SNES finally gave out, so I picked this up to give it a try on an HDMI monitor. I searched for awhile for a good adapter, and chose this one based on the metal housing and no need for an additional power supply. It comes with an HDMI cable so you simply plug the adapter into your console and then the HDMI from the adapter to your display, and you're good to go. There is a little switch on it to change between "S-video" or composite output. If your console supports the S-video option, that's the way to go. There is also a tiny red indicator light that turns on when in use. I have this plugged into a 24inch monitor, and feel that the picture quality is quite good. It's definitely better than it's been when using an RCA (red white yellow cord) to HDMI adapter. I did not notice any discernible delay or anything like that, and the colors look good as well. Obviously we're not dealing with a high definition game system here so it won't look as good as SNES games on the Switch or SNES classic edition, but those are emulated and here you're still getting the original, albeit adapted, 30ish year old video signal. The adapter does not have the option to switch from 16:9 to 4:3, but most TVs do if the stretched out image bothers you. I did have a few games where the left side of the screen was slightly cut off, but I think the monitor is causing that and I will eventually have this hooked up to my living room TV. So to conclude I think this is a solid, relatively inexpensive way to play your retro Nintendo consoles on a modern display. I tested it with both an SNES and Super Famicom, and it worked good. There are cheaper options out there and MUCH more expensive ones as well, but this feels like a quality use of $30, in my opinion, and I'm happy with its function, and simple plug and play operation. I will update this review if I ever get my hands on an N64 or GameCube to test out.

Have a UK N64 and new TV doesn't have composite RCA video input. Tried 3 other composite to HDMI adapters first, which were about half the price of this one, but 2 just gave blue screen and the other one flickered quite badly - from what I read the N64 signal at 240p is the reason. This has no issues and worked straight away (Tested with Mariokart 64) Quality looks fine to me for a retro console - potentially this 'S-Video' version is why it is better over composite signal versions. Saw the 'line doubler' version at twice the price, which might be better again, but I'm happy with this one. Nice there is no extra USB cable for power, just HDMI socket on the console now.

Buen producto, funciona perfectamente con una súper nintendo versión PAL en mi tv LG, los gráficos se podrían mejorar algo pero cumple su función, he podido jugar algunas partidas en mi vieja consola.

Finalmente un prodotto che funziona, pensavo che la mia nes fosse rotta, ne ho provato di diversi, acquistati su Amazon, mediaworld e negozi vari di elettronica, ma niente, alla fine convinto dalle recensioni provo questo e come per magia funziona benissimo sulla mia skyglass, prodotto perfetto.

Using this with both a SNES and an N64. Works perfectly, it’s plug and play. Image quality is definitely better than other ones ive had in the past that connect to the wires. Highly recommended
