I want to use the Switch (that I'll get next month) on my TV, but it's not an HD TV therefore it has no HDMI. Does using an HDMI to AC adapter work for this situation?
Hardware Does any HDMI to AC converters work on the Switch?

What type of connectors does it have? Which do you plan on using?
RCA? VGA? COAX? Or you truly going oldschool with RF?

That's composite video. Yes, you can use an HDMI to composite downscaler, but I wouldn't recommend doing so if you can avoid it.
If the TV in question has component (YPbPr) or VGA, consider an HDMI to YPbPr or HDMI to VGA converter instead. Note that you should set the Switch's RGB mode to Full Range RGB instead of Limited if using one of these converters.
Yep, you need an HDMI to RC, ac is a power cord. Order it, it wont be on the shelf in the store.
you need something like this they are pretty cheap

Do NOT get this. This is a special-purpose cable that only works with certain devices that allow direct connection of composite video over HDMI without conversion.
It will NOT work for connecting a Switch to a TV with composite video.
HDMI to... Alternating Current?
Anyways, is there really any reason NOT to have an HDTV at this point? A brand new 32" 720p TV is dirt cheap as-is. I imagine you could get something like that on craigslist for the change in your pocket.

Why do you automatically assume I can afford one
and it was a typo, it was supposed to be AV
I assume you can afford one because they cost practically nothing.
Here, I just searched a random city on craigslist and found a 40" 1080p TV for $60. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/6048354726.html
Here's another one I found in another random city: 32" 1080p TV for $65 https://rockford.craigslist.org/ele/6051043568.html
So for about the price of a video game, you can get an HDTV.
Yes they work i have one. It was about $25. It converts the HDMI to analog RCA. Its powered by usb. I have one on the switch. Here is the one i have. There is no noticeable input lag. This paticular box wont work of the output is copy protected. at the moment the switch is not using HDCP so it works. there are some boxes that do that. It also displays in 4:3 mode and you cant letter box it like on the wii u. The switch has a 480p mode and you can make the image fit a crt in the tv settings screen on the switch

Everyone says get an HDTV, you don't have to get one if you don't want. The box works great and its small. I only comes with a usb cable. I use a universal usb charger for it from an old phone.
This box basically makes any TV, HD Ready. Bet they wont tell you that.

Not to mention if you own a Switch already. Just to be fair.
You could play exclusively in handheld mode till you can get your hands on an HDTV.

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
