How to Hook a Wii to an iMac

The Nintendo Wii comes with an audio-video cable for standard plug-type connections to a TV. You can connect the game console to an Apple iMac, instead, using an adapter cable to transform the video signal from the Wii cable into a digital video interface (DVI), which is compatible with an iMac. Use a separate Y-adapter to convert the two audio cables from the Wii into a single stereo mini-plug connection for the iMac's audio port.
