Just how dead is the RCA (Yellow Red White) cable standard?

i guess the easier way would be to fix the power situation so the wii doesn't always shut down.

Actually, come to think of it, I did ask about this as well as HDMI to component and component to composite. Best Buy doesn't carry anything RCA, at all.

 

To be honest this is not a project that is doable using retail stores.  In my opinion I wouldn't even consider retail locations, because even IF you find what you need (and that's an ENORMOUS if), its going to be 3-4 times the price you should be paying for it.  Legacy adapters and stuff like this is something you should be buying online and have at your door in 2 days.

Yeah, but I like to get things done. I don't like to wait. I don't mind paying a bit more, but 3-4 times more is crazy. And I think Fry's ended up being even more than that, at $44.50 compared to $9.80 on Amazon.

No matter what you will have to basically get a digital to analog converter to plug any modern device into those old screens, and as such, it's going to need to be "active", which means some bulk and cost for all that circuitry, and you may notice quality differences between different ones.

Oh me on my 10 ish years old getting all excited every weekend I could put together the PSX on the old 32 inch 600p Tube 1st Gen Sony Bravia TV... connecting the RCA onto it was the best, I miss those days platform games were actually decent, RIP Spyro...
