Yes, Wii can support 16:9, but the resolution stays the same, 640 x 480, meaning it will have to stretch no matter what.

not 640x480, but 720x480 @60Hz during 16:9 on Wii games tongue.gif

but if gc game, it will stay 640x480...

After further checking I found out most my games all runs at 640 x 480 after 16:9 conversion. And it's also mentioned some games do run on 852 x 480 resolution after conversion, but only RE4 from my games runs on this resolution after 16:9. Just in case anyone wonder, 852 x 480 is native to certain plasma panels as well.

I confirm gundam's view, the Wii's doesn't really outputs native 16:9 resolutions like 720x480.
The Wii outputs what's called an Anamorphic Widescreen. This means its actually cramming a 16:9 picture on a 4:3 output.

In other words, if your TV detects aspect ratios of the input it receives, it'll detect it as 4:3, but the screen you see will be in the wrong ratio(tall & skinny). So, you'll have to manually set it to fill your 16:9 TV in order to get the correct ratio.
That results in getting lower DPIs, hence the lower quality gundam was mentioning.

But, still there are games that can only output to 4:3 ratios so you'll get short and fat pictures, and there's also games able to output to true 16:9 ratios too.

PS. AFAIK all virtual console games to date are only 4:3 ratios, so you have to manually set your TV back to 4:3 when you've already set it to 16:9.


720x480 is my native tv reso as well laugh.gif

from what i checked, i got no fat-stretched screen on most of my wii games.. (my TV can switch between 16:9 and 4:3)

but it is differ case with my gamecube game..which i can see the obvious fat-stretched screen

Thx for the info Dragonflyz and gundamalpha nod.gif

how do you achieve full-screen for NGC games on Wii with 16x9 display? RE4 NGC has letterbox borders all around and looks horrible... yes i'm awared and have the Wii edition but i would like to know for the benefit of my other NGC games.

My LCD stretched it by default...can change to 4:3 too

nope.... the back of the box doesn't say progressive scan either but when i try the hold B button trick, it works so maybe there is progressive scan. the output image is still really really blur though. will try Wii edition at some point since it has true widescreen and progressive scan.
dunno what that means, the game doesn't fill up the entire screen like Wii games ..... i was expecting the Wii to upscale to fullscreen like BC-PS3.

Humm.. RE4 in the list : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GameC...with_HD_support

test just now on Luigi's mansion..it does upscale to fullscreen 16:9/480p..

I don't P.Scan mode has anything to do with wide screen mode right? I don't have LM to test out (and you are selling yours to paige dry.gif) so I'm not sure about that game. But Eternal Darkness allows me to access WS mode from the game option instead of running on P.Scan alone.

Lol..I dunno that u want LM tongue.gif

Nice find gundam...it seems LM got 480p but not 16:9 ...tested on SSB:Melee/FF CC too just now...only got 480p...not 16:9

there are very few list of Wii games don't support 16:9 correctly (mostly the game of earlier wii era)

but ur telly will stretch the 4:3 image to WS anyways so if you can live with odd proportions, then there is no worries for u. from gundam's earlier list, only 12% of existing NGC games support 16:9... even TP which came out later for NGC than Wii does not have 16:9 support, very baffling since i only have NGC version.

yeap...some games i can live with it...some cannot laugh.gif

but luckily Eternal Darkness got 16:9 option..im getting it soon from mike..

Actually, to make the Wii work on multi-region ORIGINAL only games, you just need Gecko OS, there's a few methods of installing or running it(one popular way is HBC), and I won't not go into that detail.

cIOS is not needed.

I do meant multi region on ori games lolx tongue.gif

thx for the clarification that cIOS is not needed.
