well, for an easy n non costly solution, can always use those typical video switches for composite (yellow, white n red), but replace them with RGB cables , can also use the SAME non color specific cables as long as they're the same length n quality (need some coordination lar on this). used this setup before i got an actual component video switch.....

unless u hv the eyes of a hawk, u cant see any difference. even if u did, i dont think theres any. works like a charm for years for me as my tv got 1 component input only n my amp aint got any! provided (as i mentioned before), use same cables, same length etc (from switch to tv all cables length A, dvd player to switch length B etc....for the console to the switch hv to get respective cables for consoles lar, hehe)

however, this only works if you connect your sound cables (red n white) directly to your amp lar n not to ur tv, hehe. if need optical inputs for sound hv to see ur amp lar.....need different tool for that if u dont hv enuff (luckily mine got 3, enough lar...)..

well, general rule of thumb applies for audio if u lack audio input (red n white cable). get creative!

so, who sez u need to spend a bomb to find a fancy switch ? got 1 extra...a lil flimsy now tho.... of course if u have the ones with the remotes, its even fancier lar

hmm...looks like play-asia it is for the classic controller, plus a lil waiting time....

free shipping lar, plus the waiting time...1-1.5 weeks, as usual......well, at least its better than giving n xtra 60-40 bucks to cutthroat local importers....tsk tsk, if only the percentage of increase wasnt that high compared to normal price...

wait a while lar....shipping ppl xmas olidaye still, normal lar for PA...hehe

guys, if any of u have been looking for rayman raving rabbids, PA has restocked! get it while it last (yeah, grabbed one too..)

been trying to log on to the shop channel for ages since the earthquake...errors, errors n more errors, erghh... luckily the other channels are ok still...

same here dude, njoying my less than 90bucks one, hehe..thank uuuuu play-asia . irritating to hv the wire connecting to the wiimote as compared to a wavebird(but god, please forgive the receiver on top of the wii, erghh..), but at least everything syncs in color n design, hehe. wonder what the openable slots at the back is for...hmmmm

my 2 cents, luv it...but just hope its not fully required by super smash bros brawl for a 4 player mayhem(better opt for the gc controller, since got a few..) , pokai la like that, hehe

seeing that there are slots below the classic controller and slide slots beside the wiimote, guess theres a new accessory to hold em together, or sumthin.... any ideas? think i saw a pic of a classic controller in front of the wiimote ages ago.... cant seem to recall where tho...

to all fellow Rayman Raving Rabbids (ntsc u/c)owners..
goin thru the game (fun n quirky nonetheless ...). just wondering abt a few things tho, like:

1. at the main menu in the game, just noticed that theres no "options" menu (audio settings - mono, stereo,surround, video - 4:3, 16:9 prog scan etc....) as compared to whats shown in the manual. just an audio menu. weird ey?.....
2. eh, how come this game is shown in 480i? weird....again...

any of u guys going thru the same thing w ur copies?, n...quite weird to see the manual with black/w insides as compared to the other wii game manuals i already hv. 2nd batch maybe?

This post has been edited by krazee_k: Jan 14 2007, 11:27 AM

eh? check on page 4 of the manual if its available. just weird that mine sez so but its not available in game. hmmm...googling about it now...

hah...got the answer after wiiki-ing the stuff....

Progressive scan support

One common criticism of the game among US reviewers was that the game was unable to run in 480p mode. The game's manual mentions a menu item entitled 'Options', where one could configure the video modes, however the actual game only featured an "Audio Menu" with volume options. Ubisoft acknowledges this error in a support article on its website:

Unfortunately, there is a misprint in the game manual. The video option was removed from the game, but was not removed from the manual. The reason it was removed from the game itself is that you have to use the Wii console Menu to switch video options such as the 16:9 aspect ratio.[5]

Regardless of the Wii video settings, the North Amercian release is limited to 480i running in standard 4:3 proportions. The PAL (European/Australian) release of the game features support for 480p progressive scan, but still does not support the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio

hmmm.....why'd ubisoft leave out such an improvement? grrrr... kinda weird that prev owners around here playin on widescreen never noted it

woohoo...fun indeed, the Wii experience is complete once again with the shop back on!

well, use the infamous Brazil hack lar (where'd the original post go?). just:
1.chg ur country on the Wii settings to "Brazil".
2.click the wiiConnect 24 setting to reconfigure based on new country.
3.enter shop channel (u'll be treated with a "change of country" dialogue, just confirm it).
4.then once entering, just buy the points using credit card and instead of asking for the mumbo jumbo, they'll just ask for your postal code.
5.once bought, just reset to your respective settings ( country) before entering the wii shop again. can reenter the my nintendo account too if u've registered.. shop on!

cant...get..my...hands...of ...contra
