8-Bit game not working on my Smart TV

[Eridene Coltman]

Hi. We have a Samsung Smart TV with HDMI ports at the back. I bought my son an 8-bit game and bought a RCA2HDMI cable to be able to plug it into my TV but its not working, My TV does not have RCA ports. Please help? What is the best way to make this work?

HDMI is digital. A simple analog RCA2HDMI cable will not work. You need something more than a simple cable. Those cables usually make it clear that "This HDMI to RCA cable is designed to connect and transfer (NOT CONVERT) signals from HDMI port to RCA port one-way transmission"

Edit:
Suspect that something like this will do what you need: https://www.takealot.com/composite-rca-av-to-hdmi-converter/PLID40732624
