I'm guessing something like this would make it work: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Composite-CVBS-Converter-1080P/dp/B009A6PJKQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1397108610&sr=1-1&keywords=rca+to+hdmi

any roku with rca jacks should work on an older tv.
if you only have hdmi roku, you can buy a converter

i highly recommend you retire your old tv
because they are VERY energy inefficient.
my 10yo 720p uses as much electricity as
my refrigerator!
the weeks leading up to the super bowl
feb 5th are the best hdtv sales all year.

I had this problem on my LG. The manager at my local used video game store told me this is a very common problem with all HD tvs, but you wouldn't know it from google searches or this subreddit. My solution was to buy this HDMI convertor on amazon. It worked after that.

If the goal is to just get video and sound output to his TV, couldn't he buy the much cheaper composite to HDMI converter that most people seem to recommend, which is pretty cheap?

Tmvel Composite Video Converter

Hmm, if only they made devices that converted Composite to HDMI...

• Good, $10
  
• Better, $40

This seems to be what you're looking for, in combination with what walrus4lyfe posted. I haven't used the RCA to HDMI converter though, but it seems to have decent reviews on Amazon.

Ah, you are correct. It looks identical to the one that goes the other way: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009A6PJKQ

And looking up the "right" one, I see dozens of listings for identical models by "different" companies - probably all made by the same Chinese OEM as the one I have.

A converter like this would work, but I wouldn't expect the picture to be godlike:

Or you can always use a capture card like a dazzle and play through amarec or another capture software, but there's a little bit of delay.

I would suggest using a strong glue, duct tape, or a AV to HDMI converter.

If the channels are analog, you might as well use composite. You could probably find a used VCR to use as an analog tuner pretty cheap. If you must use an HDMI input, you could use something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009A6PJKQ/ to convert the composite to HDMI.

If you have HDMI only, you can use this composite & audio to HDMI converter/upscaler.

>Would an adapter like this[1] work?

That seems to be a HDMI -> RCA which would be the opposite of what you want

Here's one that's by the same company (I would assume) from the one you posted:

EDIT: I'd also like to add that I have no idea if any of these work

So close.

If you paid attention, you'd notice that product takes in HDMI and puts out RCA.

This one, on the other hand, does the opposite. It converts an RCA input to an HDMI output. This can then be connected to the HDMI input on the screen.

You can use an HDMI to RCA converter. Something like this: http://amzn.com/B009A6PJKQ

There's not much you can do about the quality. Those games really didn't age well. As far as the converter, we use this.

This will do what you want, but will stretch the picture to 16:9

From time to time I use one of these and it's pretty good overall. It's not as good as something like a Framemeister but it's a lot cheaper. Also I have to put my tv on "game" mode or it gets laggy. This would be a good first step to see if you like it before spending more time and money.

I use one of these for my old systems on my new TV.
Just a thought if you wanted to forgo the old TV. Then again some people like the retro on the old TVs!

Works great!

you can get a usb device for $30ish but the cheaper ones lag making it useless for gaming.

Actually yes it can, technically anything that can be converted to HDMI can be played on a Xbox One including all Playstation consoles, all Nintendo Consoles and any media device you throw at it. It really is the all in one device.

To add even more support:

Why would you choose an AV to RF converter when analogue RF is nearly dead and will reduce the quality.

Using a composite to HDMI converter/upscaler makes much more sense.

Well the Black Magic Intensity Pro used to be the choice, but the company has stopped support for their drivers and such. I couldn't find anything that would update the firmware to have it work properly on a windows 7 computer, it would mess up the capture in many ways that it needed an update. So I'd say personally stay away from the Black Magic Intensity Pro. Only thing I can think of is you'll have to resort in a HD capture device and find analogue to digital converters, this is what I'm currently running, An Elgato HD60 (for current gen and last gen consoles with HDMI) and then a RCA to HDMI Converter this let's me play old NES and PS2 games while the capture card can see the footage.

You can get separate HDMI converters that will work with any Capture Card. Here are a few from Amazon (I own each of these except the component one, and they work fine):

Component to HDMI Converter

Composite AV to HDMI Converter

HDMI Splitter

The splitter is nice to have, you can use it to enforce compatibility with the PS3, which usually has HDCP issues with capture cards.

I found this one.What do you think?

I will look into this. it appears that its about a 50/50 on these. either people love it or they hate it. and it makes me a little worried that amazon wont carry this one because of complaints. maybe it was just a shitty brand but who knows...

I've ran a few of these on different projects. They work OK.
Before I bought a 32" CRT I used one with my old consoles along side a JVC JX-S700, Onkyo TX-NR609 and my Vizio 47"

That white box behind it is converting from RCA to hdmi.

No, it comes with adapters for component. I'm pretty sure all you need is an adapter to get the composite connections you need.

Edit: I could have sworn mine came with this. I'll check when I get home. There's also these options from Amazon to convert to HDMI:

http://www.amazon.com/Portta-WPETCHP-CVBS-Composite-Converter/dp/B008S7EYW2/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1406574101&sr=1-7&keywords=composite+to+component

Edit 2: I was wrong. It only came with the component adapter.

Or maybe I should invest in something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-HDMI2RCACVS-Composite-Converter-Blue-Ray/dp/B009A6PJKQ/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_0 to convert the signal to HDMI ...

http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-HDMI2RCACVS-Composite-Converter-Blue-Ray/dp/B009A6PJKQ/

I use a version of this. I'm sure others will have had issues with these, but so far it's been working just fine on my end.

Personally I would recommend emulating and using a PS3 controller.

But if you want to use your PS2, just pick up an adapter like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-HDMI2RCACVS-Composite-Converter-Blue-Ray/dp/B009A6PJKQ

There are inexpensive converters for converting RCA to HDMI, with decent reviews:

Before that, have you checked the obvious (ensuring you have selected the right input, turning on the NES and then having your TV search for the signal)?
