PS1 Classic HDMI to Composite?

[ChronoCrossfangirl2002]

So i have a CRT TV that i often use for older games on my WII and while i got conflicting answers to
the question of the existence of a solid PS1 emulator for the WII, i figured even if their was
I'd like to play with an actual PS1 controller, that being said i was wondering if there were possibly
any budget friendly HDMI to composite converters for the PS1 classic that you know of and or reccomoend
as I'm planning to play Chrono Cross, FFVII and other games off of it. Thanks in advance!

I believe you can use a HDMI to Composite converter.

i have a composite to HDMI converter but not the vice versa, or are they the same thing either way around?

You need a HDMI to Composite not Composite to HDMI, if it the wrong one obviously it won't work.

Usually not the same, so only DA or AD conversion. Does your CRT support component signals as rather than composh...., er composite, I'd go for that option if at all possible?

If your CRT supports component in some way, either SCART for us Euros, or green, red and blue sockets in addition of the yellow that would be optimal as the picture quality is concerned. (Separating the colour components in their own leads both widens the colourspace and removes blurring of pixels.)

Composite uses five cables.

Red, White Yellow, Green, Blue.

ah okay sorry i got it all jumbled up i never learned much about the cables in particular, but my TV only has the red, yellow, and white ports in front its a Magnavox with a DVD Player in front as well, i hope that helps clears things up

Red, White Yellow, Green, Blue.

That's component. Full width green + the blue and red differences in 4:2:2 "packed" format. S-video uses 2 cables, one for green, other for color info, packed 4:2:0 and losing color definition compared to component. Composite has everything packed in one cable at 4:1:0 (that yellow one) and has even more pronounced blurriness and loss of color definition. (And then we have red and white for audio, but those have no effect on video )

Just to clear up the terms.

//EDIT "Pure" RGB can also be transferred via 3 cables and then the signal is 4:4:4 unpacked video. RGB support is dependent on the device and not all crt's supporting colour difference component can do RGB.
