Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical about it too but I really want to try it out for myself. That's the only thing that can display a Wii correctly

Because Wii's max resolution is is 480p, meaning 4:3 ratio, yet some of their games force you play in 16:9 ratio

Yeah, that's the problem with LCD rescaling vs CRT native. I don't really enjoy scaled image |

But it made image on game like MGS4 trails especially when u rotate the camera or Snake. Very annoying. So i always turn the Natural Motion off. |

xxboxx, what 'viewable' resolution do you think the Wii is putting out on a forced 16:9 game like RE4? Are we losing 120 horizontal lines of details if such games are played on a 4:3 TV?

Are we losing 120 horizontal lines of details if such games are played on a 4:3 TV? i don't own a Wii, so i don't really know about it. from what i gather from the net is that for a widescreen games you didn't lose any details no matter you display as 4:3 or 16:9 because it's in anamorphic widescreen.Anamorphic Widescreen i believe this quote from avsforum can answer more clearly of the 4:3 vs 16:9 issue: QUOTE All Wii games must support 4x3. Additionally, some percentage of Wii games support outputting an anamorphic widescreen (16x9) signal. If one tells the Wii that one is using a 4x3 display, and one puts one's 16x9 display in 4x3 mode (with black or grey bars on the side), everything will appear correct at all times. If one tells the Wii that one is using a 16x9 display, and one puts one's 16x9 display in 16x9 mode, everything will appear correct for games which support 16x9 mode. For games which only support 4x3 mode, everything will be stretched horizontally, appearing "too fat". There is no automatic aspect ratio selection or adjustment, so Wii owners using the Wii in 16x9 mode must manually tell the TV to use 4x3 or 16x9 mode depending on the capabilities of the game being played if they object to aspect ratio distortion. and also i believe to get anamorphic widescreen, you must use the component cable and run as 480p. |
