Virtual Console gets racked up by display issues |
What's up with your Virtual Console lately? Having display issues? If not, then all's well and good. But unfortunately, more and more PAL gamers are reportedly experiencing major display issues on some of the downloaded games. One such unfortunate gamer, Blork101, wrote to Nintendo, and this is what the company had to say about it: In the past, games were released featuring different resolutions and signal types, namely ‘interlaced’ and ‘non-interlaced’ signals. As such, Virtual Console game signals are broadcast in these ‘interlaced’ and ‘non-interlaced’ modes. This is because Nintendo has always maintained that Virtual Console titles are an exact representation of how these titles originally appeared. Some component cables do not support ‘non-interlaced’ video signals - therefore to fully enjoy all Virtual Console games without this problem potentially occurring you will need to play them with a normal AV cable (supplied with the Wii) or an RGB Scart Cable (available separately). This is not a fault with the Virtual Console service as using the correct lead will ensure you are able to play any title from the Virtual Console library. The Virtual Console does not support 480p resolution or above so there is no benefit of playing these titles with a component cable.
Hmmm... well that doesn't seem to do much help. So, how about you guys? Maybe you've got some tricks up your sleeves for a work-around or something? If you do, share. We're sure lots would appreciate it.

Woot first post I live in the US and i haven't seen any display problems with VC and component cables. Is this mainly a PAL region problem?
I purchased Donkey Kong Country and have never been able to display it on my 1080i HD plasma. Even switching from the AV to component cable or vise versa has yelded no results. I think i'll be calling Nintendo in the next few days inquirng about this again and if this is their official statement i'll be requesting a wii points refund.
mmm I had the same problem with my ps2 (PAL) and NTSC import games. I could play them but there were major graphical errors (small screen, black and white etc). Someone told me I should get myself an RGB cable instead of the component cable included in the ps2 box. And it worked! So, I think this Nintedo guy might be right. You can get such a cable for $10 at your local gameshop, or $3 if you order it from the net.
