How do I hook my Wii up to my new Samsung Smart TV that has no RCA ports

You need a Wii to HDMI adapter, like this: https/www.amazon.com/Wii-HDMI-Adapter-Nintendo-Mayflash/dp/B005QB868Q and an HDMI cable.

But I don't understand where this adapter would plug in to my Wii (it is the original Wii).... Wouldn't an HDMI to RCA cable work? The only plugs I see are RCA and an USB?

Thanks

You can't use a cable to convert analog av to digital HDMI. You need an active converter like this one

The cable with the RCA connectors disconnects on the back of the Wii. You then plug the adapter into this port. Then, you connect an HDMI cable to the adapter and to the HDMI input on the TV.

It depends on the tv you have. Some Samsungs use only hdmi but use a connection that looks like 3.5mm to rca. But usually that comes with the tv. What model do you have?
