I've had this notion rolling around in my head for a while if trying to convert the HDMI signal from the NES/SNES Classics to component or something would be worth a try.  Has anyone tried this and what kind of equipment does it take to do?  Is it worth the effort?

There are converters that do that. No idea on the quality, though.

Yeah you'd want to use a converter. There are better ways to do this kind of thing, especially since it's really just an emulator anyways.

Yeah, it's possible. LGR did a video awhile back where he daisy-chained converters together to get HDMI output onto an old B&W CRT TV:

If your talking about playing one on a 4:3 crt it will work but when you play a game the aspect ratio will be off.
