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

Really happy though expensive compared to Wii versions. Allows me to use my 64 on my new tv as it does not have an av connection. Relatively small and does not extend past the power supply, plug and play baby so no faffing around setting up. Allows me to retro game and will change my output from 4:3 to 16:9. Goldeneye 4 way is a dream now on newer tvs.

Works perfectly. You can always rely on Kaico.

I had bought a different AV to HDMI converter, but saw this one which came without need for a power source (something of a rarity among AV to HDMI converters it seems). I ordered both to see which was better. Initially both presented similar quality, and issues (excessive colour shadow/blur on "highlighted" objects), albeit the Kaico did allow for a switch between 4:3 and 16:9 via the switch on the converter. However, once I restarted and opted for 50hz instead of 60hz at the initial startup screen I noticed a marked improvement. All blur and shadow was gone, there remained some mild scanlines but nothing egregious and only really bothersome if you're a foot from the TV. Overall quite pleased with the unit, particularly given it does not require the AV cable to be present, nor a dedicated power supply, which seems to be the case for many of the other options available. Admittedly the price is more than double many others, but given the cost saving over time of not needing a second active plug, I think it's worth the extra money. Also much simpler to setup with simple plug and play.

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.

I had to return this, the item was unusable and when it did work, the picture quality was terrible. I would not recommend this product at all, get a bitfunxx if you want a basic option, or a proper upscaler for a better solution.

Great bit of kit. plays all old retro games on new tv

Got this for my Gamecube. It works which is good, but like others mention it makes things too bright and doesn't look so good.

works really well - would highly recommend

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.

Der Kaico adapter überträgt ein sehr schönes und scharfes Bild, allerdings kommen die Farben nicht so gut herum. Ein einfacher billiger compnsite-zu-HDMI bringt die Farben, meiner Meinung nach viel besser rüber, allerdings ist bei diesem das Bild sehr schwammig und unscharf. Ich habe einfach mal beide Möglichkeiten gleichzeitig auf zwei gleichen Monitoren mit dem gleichen Spiel (Super Mario 64 Pal, auf 2 Pal Konsolen) getestet und das Ergebnis, inform von Bildern, dieser Rezension beigefügt. (Ein Vergleich mit einer Ultra-HDMI modifizierten NTSC-Konsole wird bald noch hinzugefügt) Welche dieser Optionen einem schlussendlich besser gefällt, muss man selbst entscheiden. Im Endeffekt entscheide ICH mich für den Kaico Adapter. Für das Geld macht man auf jeden Fall nix falsch. Nachtrag: Meine Ultra HDMI Konsole ist endlich angekommen. Die Bildqualität habe ich nun inform von Bildern Beigefügt. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine NTSC-J Konsole, allerdings ist das Spiel trotz alle dem PAL. Es lässt sich auf einen Blick sagen, dass ein Ultra HDMI mod das beste Bild gibt. Dafür ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bei dem Kaico Adapter am besten und dieser bietet auch ein Scharfes Bild. Deshalb geht eine Klare Empfehlung and diesen Adapter raus. Sollte man allerdings eine Ultra HDMI Konsole zu einem Günstigen Angebot schießen können, würde ich eher dies empfehlen.

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.

I hadn’t been able to play on our old SNES since we got rid of our old TV. This adapter brought the old games back to life! It’s plug and play, just plug the adapter into your console and then a HDMI-cable from the adapter to the TV. It’s really simple and works great. Highly recommend, good quality product!
