I finally replaced my old SONY projector TV which had perfect connections for all my old and new consoles. HDMI, component and composite. Since no new TV’s come with composite connections, we are all left to either buy a converter, mod our consoles for HDMI, or buy an older TV. Most of these options aren’t cheap or easy.

I have a modded Wii, Wii u, Xbox, and Xbox 360. The Modded Wii u replaced my modded Wii since i can play all my gamecube, wii, and wii u games on my Wii u AND since it’s via HDMI, all the games look fantastic!

My Modded Xbox 360 replaced my xbox as it can play almost all xbox games and all 360 games. Both consoles can also emulate all retro consoles, so 2 modded consoles can replaced over a dozen retail consoles.

I’m not much of a Sony guy, so haven’t modded any of my Playstations, but that may be next.

For playing original hardware i got a $40 Insignia Converter from Best buy that works great for NES-N64 and everything in between. But for the 2000’s consoles, they all looked horrible through the converter. Modded consoles make all my old games look better than they ever have.

I have never seen SSX Tricky so clear and detailed!

And now i don’t have to spend $450 on a retrotink!

      The 360’s i have all RGH 3 modded for the slims and RGH 1.2 with a glitch chip for the Phats, so all hardmodded. Badupdate for the 360 is getting better and better as the months go on and that is a softmod that you do evertime you boot your console. So very little risk of a brick and no permanent mods. I use Aurora for my 360’s and i love it!

        Which version of the slim do you have? I’m fine with a hardmod of it means I can just leave it alone. I just want to run games off the hdd. I don’t really care about anything else.

          I have modded a couple trinities and Corona’s with the post fix. Both work fine. I’ve done 5 so far, so now i can mod them in about 30 minutes. Really crazy how good the modding community for the 360 is. eBay and facebook marketplace you can find some good deals on the slims, just avoid the xbox slim E series as the majority of them can only be softmodded.
