Thanks for the awesome review, Blaine! I'm glad to hear you're having a positive experience with my products! ⚡

Yep, that's the best HDMI adapter that I have used. Much better than the "Pound" style that also need a USB power source. And you get 5.1 digital sound which you don't with the others.

I saw this video and bought it. I kind of had buyers remorse, but then it got delivered today. Wow I am so glad I got this thing. No lag, I'm playing street fighter games and it feels really nice.

I have been screaming from the hilltops for someone to endorse this! Geez! Been using it for years, works great and is a great price especially compared to others that require opening and soldering.

I just received my unit in the mail last weekend and have enjoyed it so far! No stress or strain on the port from the HDMI cable being connected to the adapter.

I have the Monster component cables and a RetroTink 5X, but this is far more convenient and I always fear the ridiculously tight fit of the Monster plugs will break the 5X.

The best budget HDMI option for the OG Xbox BY FAR. Kudos for getting the word out!

[waynetemplar]

Looks like a neat and cost-effective solution but I always worry that these types of adaptor can put too much strain on the console's AV port. The one I got for my GameCube came with a 3D printed support bracket

I have a similar adapter for our wii - works perfectly :-)

Imagine combining the Xbox2HDMI with the upcoming Retrotink 4K, that would be interesting

Now, if I designed such a thing, I would design it so that it didn't stick out at the back. I would have the unit running with its body sitting flush in the recess, or have a short pigtail. Adding extra depth to the unit is not ideal when the unit is deep as it is. That said, it's a great piece of kit..Great video :)

One game that supports 1080i on the original Xbox is Enter The Matrix. I don't know any other game that supprts that resolution though. Most games are either 480p or 720p. Anyway I just purchased one of these HDMI converters for myself so I can't wait to get it. Some people such as Tito of Macho Nacho Productions actually installed an HDMI socket to his original Xbox but soldering isn't my forté so I avoided those types of mods. I also have an HDMI converter for my Nintendo Wii. Unfortunately that console is not an HD console so it only supported 480i or 480p so games don't look all that great compared to how they would look on a CRT monitor.

Got mine the other day! Love it so far, looks like I’m playing on a 360 in game and the sound output is better than ever!! Only issue I’ve had is some visual noise in a few pre-rendered cutscenes but that could be due to the rip of the game or file compression. Shout out Electron Shepherd!

I grabbed 2 of these and I have to say I am happy with my purchase

[Nifterific]

Personally I use the Kaico adapter on Amazon. I get a great picture with it, and it’s not just a block in the back of the console it’s more of a cabled dongle so it doesn’t force my Xbox to sit way far forward in my entertainment center.

Also I noticed you didn’t use any 480p 16:9 games with this. Those games are anamorphic wide screen, and you will have to choose your aspect ratio on your TV to fill that in. Something like Dead or Alive 3 is a great example. It’s not a flaw though, as you pointed out these take component video and pass it to HDMI so it is supposed to work this way.

I just got mine today and played 5 mins on a 75 inch tv and could tell the differences immediately

[damianukaszewicz]

I just got today my Xbox that I bought for 50USD. And the offer had along with console HDMI adapter and 7 games. Never had one before and decided to get it since I'm getting tired of all those AAA „super realistic graphic” games. And also to play JSRF the original way instead of using CXBX emulator. Maybe later I'll also get some classics like Spider-Man 2, Getting Up, THAW, etc.

[jonathanlisowski]

Only thing holding me back from this is the lack of an optical audio port.

[Netherdog]

i thrifted a tv kinda recently which actually has composite anyway which im using as my main monitor

[shredbraahh]

Curious how this compairs to XBOX component cables going into a Retrotink 5X.
