Kane99 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I know there are mods you can do to older consoles to make them play on HDTVs, but I'd rather not go that route as I don't like to modify my consoles. I found an adapter for the Xbox called the XBHD from a company called Eon Gaming. It's a plug-in adapter that connects to your original Xbox's video connection. So no hacking or modding needed. It also has ethernet capabilities, so you can probably take it online with this. You can get one here - https://www.eongaming.tech/product-page/xbhd-1 It's expensive though at $149.99. But if you want to play it on an HDTV, it looks to be the better alternative to modding. They also have an N64, and a few GameCube versions, which put out 480p, but expensive at around $159.99 each. Do you guys know of any others, maybe cheaper alternatives? Ones for a PS2, PS1, NES, and pretty much any retro console out there. Most newer HDTVs don't come with the usual connections, often just supporting HDMI. I think some TVs even skip out on component connections. I know you can buy component cables for the PS2, and I think Xbox as well, but I think they're hard to come by last time I checked. At least nothing too cheap. I see a lot of cheap stuff on Amazon that I'm unsure I'd trust. Do you have any suggestions for adapters to play NES, SNES, N64, PS2, Xbox, and any other retro consoles on HD without the needs for modding?

HowHammerYou Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Pound Cables are supposed to be really good. I still want to get one for my Gamecube, the only 6th-gen console I still have plugged in. I think they output 1080P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The cables that came with the classic systems work just fine. I have mine hooked up to an HDTV, and have no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one called Hyperkin that's been recommended on a lot of gaming sites and sub-reddits for use on HDTVs. You can check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Hyperkin's controllers though, it's a shame their HD adapters for the Genesis aren't reliable. I did get a Xbox HD adapter too, but I haven't used my original Xbox in a while so I'm not sure if the cord still works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I've been looking for a way to play my original Xbox on my HDTV without modding it. I think the XBHD adapter seems like a very perfect solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Button Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I've been eyeing that adapter myself. I've got a few of the retro consoles that I'd love to play on my HDTV without having to mod them. The XBHD adapter does seems like a great option, but I'm also trying to consider some other solutions like the RetroTINK or the XRGB-Mini.
