>HDMI ports on TV break
>can't play anything requiring HDMI cables

What are the best games that can be played using these bad boys?
>>
pikmin 1 and 2
>>
Are you retarded?
>>
>>375969798
anything made before hdmis were invented
>>
>>375969798
Had the reverse happen to my PS3.
HDMI port went out when I was changing my setup with the PS3 still on since my GF wanted to watch TV on the big TV. I moved it to the monitor below and stopped working.

2nd modded PS3 to fuck up on me. My luck with PS3s isnt so good it seems.
>>
Dont do that.

Image delay, horrible grainy picture yadda yadda.

Analog signals look good on a crt only.
>>
>>375969798
TVs rarely even have composite jacks anymore.
>>
>>375969858
Playing Pikmin 2 on a bigass bright screen sounds amazing.

Last I played it was on a tiny tv that made the darkness in the caves extra spooky for kid me.

You GOTTA play Luigi's Mansion! Definitely one of the best single-player games ever made, IMO.
>>
>>375969798
repair the port
>>
>>375969798
Get some component cables you faggot.
>hurrr the red white and yellow cables right?

No component is 5 cables red,green,blue,red, and white.
>>
What's the best cheap device for hooking up multiple composite cable to one TV?
For some reason my wii won't work properly with my gamestop composite cables (colors come out black and white) and I have to keep switching out the cables.
>>
>>375969798
>composite on anything but a CRT
It'll look like absolute ass otherwise.
>>
>>375970147
Don't care as long as I can play the games.
>>375971005
No PS3 or 360. I used the HDMI for my PC, Wii U and PS4.
>>375970704
I need to replay this too.
>>
>>375970837
That seems really difficult for an idiot like me. Also my local tv repair guy would charge me $100.
>>
Nintendo switch and wii u dont have this problem :^)
>>
>>375969798
You can use a hdmi converter to solve your issue op and continue to use hdmi. I bought one for my poor fag friend.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KXI8LZE/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1493942982&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=hdmi+to+av&dpPl=1&dpID=517gAY%2BEkeL&ref=plSrch it's 12$
>>
>>375971218
That's happening because the Wii outputs component (5-cable) while the GC outputs composite (3-cable)
>>
>>375971610
You plug av into TV and then into the box. Then you plug hdmi into the box and your console of choice. Now you can play hdmi on old tv or on tv that only has rca.
>>
>>375971490
Good luck playing anything that isnt a puzzle game
>>
>>375971490
PS2, XBOX, Wii and I'm pretty sure Wii U can use component. Nothing current gen can use Composite.
>>
>>375971581
You. Read these. It will solve your problem.
>>375971610
>>375971729
>>
>>375971828
Have you bought a TV recently? If it ain't a Vizio, it probably doesn't have component.
>>
>>375971728
Wrong the Wii outputs component or Composite. Anon just has to make sure he switches his resolution to 480i when using his Composite cables.

Yeah but the weird thing is that the cable is situated for the Wii as well
http://www.gamestop.com/accessories/mad-catz-universal-component-cable/33927

I guess that's what I get for buying garbage from gamestop, would a component splitter like this be a good idea?

>>375971972
I have an LG from 2014 and it can do component. Similarly my parents bought a 2016 HDR Sony and that has component inputs as well.
>>375972038
Go into your Wii settings and switch the resolution to 480i
>>
>>375972186
Why are you still posting like no one gave you the best answer.
This post covers everything you need to know and gives you a link to the cheapest solution possible. You will not find a better answer for your cheap ass you stupid nigger.
>>375971838
>>
>>375971610
Didn't know this was a thing. Do they actually work on 1080p or would I always have to do 720p?

I remember reading that component cables only go up to 1080i. Either way thanks for the idea.
>>
>>375972439
>>375972516
That is possibly the shittiest solution ever. Upscalers are complete ass
>>
>>375971218
I bought a component switcher from GameStop for $10 a few years back and it works perfectly on the 360, PS3 and Wii.
>>
>>375972661
>upscalers

Wouldn't sending an hdmi signal through component cables be downscaling?
>>
>>375972661
>up scaling
Shows how much you know about it idiot. All you dumbasses screaming at op to put in a new board if a tv is older than 5 years it is hard to find a reliable board and even then that new one has a limited life. Boards are designed to break. >>375972516
You can find ones that can do 1080 but they are more pricey and in my experience don't work. I think the one I linked is only up to 720 but works flawlessly. Suits my poor fag friend fine I bought it for him about 3 months ago when his TV broke. The Converter is powered by microusb so you can power it with your consoles usb port.
