I'm wondering whether I should shell out the money for one of those fancy OSSC converters from component to HDMI or whether I should just stick to my Wii U? I've upgraded from my old Panasonic display to a newer 4K TV, so component is no longer an option. Not without a converter at least. I've heard many different things about vWii and how it botches up the picture, from chroma key shifts to shrinking the screen for no apparent reason.

Also, my vWii home-brew is really broken so it's kind of a huge let down and a the reason why I wanna stick with the Wii (that and gamecube memory card).

Thanks!

Beware that the OSSC may not be a 'plug and play' solution, requiring you to change different settings to get a picture you like.

It does support profiles though and using and mSD download them from online.

I don't know how good they are, buy you can get HDMI adapters for the Wii which may be easier if you exclusively want it for the Wii.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
