Maybe, maybe not. some HDMI/VGA connectors are picky in my experience. its best to just try and see if it works.

I have never had a working experience using more than 1 adapter in that manner.

 

If you can a component to VGA adapter, that will work.

The only downside is that you will not get audio since VGA does not carry it.

It depends on how the Wii>HDMI and the HDMI>VGA adapters work.  If the Wii>HDMI adapter is creating only a digital signal, then your HDMI>VGA must be an "active" adapter to create a VGA signal, or it won't work.  If the Wii>HDMI adapter is generating an analog signal and just passing it through the HDMI port, (which isn't infeasible since HDMI ports are used for more than just HDMI video signals, and DVI, which can be passively adapted to HDMI iirc can also carry analog VGA signals if I'm not mistaken) then the HDMI>VGA adapter would, once again, have to be something that can work in that manner, otherwise it would not work.

 

So in short, it might work, we don't have enough information to know for sure.  And yes, audio would be lost regardless.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

It's going to be a exciting experiment. Can you please update us on if this worked? In theory I don't see a problem, but in practice many issues could arise,

With that latency you won't have much fun at all.

Best thing would be to get the Component cable and a Monitor with COmponent input - like a Dell U2410 or a (cheapish) TV...

I wouldn't recommend something like that. Maybe you could get some used 22-24" TV with component for cheaper than those adapters? :D

That wasn't the Problem.
The Latency caused by both Adapters is.

 

Each of those add a couple of ms to the latency, wich the TFT also has. So in a worst case scenario, we are tlaking like 50+ ms latency between the Output of the console and things on the screen.

The Latency of the console is another thing that adds to this...
