Would this work with a Wii game system? I'd like to plug this into the console's USB port, and it does have a CD drive.

No. This device is compatible only with specific Windows Operating Systems.

There should be a cover/ panel on the wii covering 4 ports that they can plug into. Remember these are not for the wiiU. Just the wii.

I have this and the directions state "This converter is designed for Wii only ! Pls do not connect with other devices" So it's not to be used with the WiiU.

I have not used it with a game console, but it works great with a blu-ray player.

This will work for a Wii, however, it does not upvert the image. It only makes the output from the Wii the same as the input of the TV; the resolution is still the same. I had to try a few different settings to get the best image possible.

No, it will NOT work on the original Wii console. Although, Wii games will work on the Wii U console. Hope this helps you.

I use this with my Wii, Gamecube, and other game systems and it works perfectly. No problems yet (2 months in).

not sure...bought it for Wii and it didn't do a damn thing...waste of money....if you want to try it, if you pay for the shipping, i can send you mine., maybe you'll have better luck.

Technically it can, since it's a laptop DVD ROM drive in an external casing. The thing to remember is that it has a USB connection, meaning data transfer from disc to PC may be a little slow, so you may experience some lag depending on the game. I think this works better as a movie player/disc burner than a drive for a PC game. I have not played a PC game using this as mine is being used for an older netbook. I suggest matching up the computing requirements for the game with your computer and see if this DVD drive fits the bill.

Unfortunately, This most likely will not work with a wii. This device needs drivers to operate, which can be found on the NetGear website. A wii has an OS that can not be modified as easily as Windows, Mac OS and Linux. I'd recommend getting an insanely cheap Media PC, unless you are really attached to the wii mote.

You'll have a hard time getting it to fit in the cd slot. There is a specific Wii fit model, this one won't work for the Wii.

it should it reads in windows as a generic usb game controller. there are no drivers for this because windows built in drivers work for this.

NO!!!!!! This crap didn't work for me at all. Thought it was my wii controller at first thinking it wasn't reading it. Then I tried it on someone else's wii and still didn't work.

I am pretty sure u can I owned a Wii and currently xbox360 and they both worked great with this converter just takes a hdmi input and converts it into vga and stereo sound outputs.

This should work on the wii system with no problem. My grandson has the Skylanders & the Skylanders Giant.

Maybe you have an older model Wii. If you have a Wii U, it works fine on that console.

Works well with my xbox one, I see no reason it would not work for the wii too.
