Wii VC 240p mode list

[Logan Jones]

Is there a 240p compatibility list available for Wii VC titles in other regions (e.g. Japan)? I recently discovered the following Japan Wii VC titles DO NOT support 240p:

Ai Cho Aniki
Gradius
ImageFight
ImageFight2
Salamander

Do the Japanese MSX VC games support 240p? I've always wondered if they did. I know BlueMSX for the Wii certainly doesn't.

I will check and let you know.

I know MegaMan 9/1 are natively rendered in 480i, but which resolutions are Contra/Castlevania Rebirth rendered at?

They can be displayed at 480i or 480p, so I'm guessing 480p. I think Castelvania has a high-res title screen, so that probably rules out an internal upscale from 240p. But I've displayed them in 240p from Dolphin and they looked great.

Yes, I checked a handful (Aleste, Parodius, Quarth) and those support 240p.

Cool! I'd like to get my hands on some of them.

I have just finished converting all Wii VC NTSC-U TG16 (including CD) releases to 240p. All of the conversions have been tested on my Wii. Let me know if you are interested in them.

I would love to have the 240p converted NTSC-U TG16 CD games if you still have them. You guys are amazing.

I've noticed something where the horizontal resolution is a bit off on some games, namely Castlevania X and Metal Slug series.

I'm not sure if there's any sort of fix to this?

Did you double check the aspect ratio settings?

It was a long time ago at this point but I want to say that there was a Sunday Livestream with My Life in Gaming where they mentioned this.

It was when they were working on their Castlevania Requiem video, said they were surprised by it.

I'm very interested, but I can't send a DM because I'm a new user

I'd eventually love to make a "rompack" of all VC games (and maybe even MM9&10) converted to 240p. I bookmarked your guide when you posted it, but never found time to go through the process ;/

Hi! I would also like to have the 240p converted NTSC-U TG16 (including CD) releases if possible Also a new user, can't DM either. Greatly appreciate any help with this!

I'm in the same boat as JoeStepien, can't send a DM cause I'm new here but I'm definitely very interested.

I'm Also interested in the 240p modified TG16 wads!!!

I hate to be that "new guy" but I would love these as well. Playing Gates of Thunder so blurry is painful. Please PM me.

I'm with the rest of these guys, if you're still active and they are available I'm interested.

Wow! This is amaizing! I'm also interested if they are still available!

Yes, my conversions have been added to the MarioCube repository for anyone interested.

I can't comment on the others, but I can confirm Mega Man 9/10 cannot be forced into 240p by any means I've tried over the years.

With HBC and Wiiflow, the games can however be forced into 480p.

How?! I've tried to force Mega Man 9 into 480p using different tools (including Wiiflow) years back, and they always started in 480i.

Also didn't manage to force Castlevania Rebirth into 480p, for what it's worth.

Can someone give me a quick sanity check re: WADs and regions?
I have an NTSC-J Wii, I can install NTSC-U WADs right?

You can install them, but most if not all out-of-region VC/WiiWare titles will give you an error message when you try to run them. Pretty sure you need to patch the system somehow to avoid this. I used to successfully do this with old StartPatch hacks on an NTSC-U Wii, but on the NTSC-J Wii I use currently I never got those to work, and the newer and recommended "region free everything" hack on Priiloader didn't work for me either, but that's what I would try first.

[the androgyne]

Thanks. I think I must have done something in the past to that effect, because i just tried then and they seem to work. Worst thing about hacking is remembering exactly what you did so long ago!

Hassle-free way to install wads from another region is to install them to an emuNand and run them from USB Loader GX

I've been working on this the past few days, mostly because I'm curious if there's any truth to the commonly held knowledge that there was a crossover of 240p compatibility on Virtual Console titles. I figure that if anything this list, when more complete, could at least point people to certain rarer titles that might otherwise be cost/system prohibitive.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... XvVSY52hoA

If anyone can refute some of these that would be helpful. Or even just add to it.

One thing is does make me curious about though is if it's possible to edit those VC titles that don't allow for 240p to allow for it. I assume it's a flag somewhere in the embedded emulator.

Is there a 240p compatibility list available for Wii VC titles in other regions (e.g. Japan)? I recently discovered the following Japan Wii VC titles DO NOT support 240p:

Do you, or anyone else, have any insight on Battle City? Have been trying to get it to run on my PAL Wii, but it keeps getting a black screen and disconnected wiimote. Used FreeTheWads to make it regionfree, as is the setting in Priiloader, but no juice so far...

[RebeL9]

Can anyone explain why there so many years later isn't any method to output 240p from Wii?
I'm not talking about VC games but normal Wii titles.
Since Wii is basically a beefed up GC I suppose it shares the same architecture. Surely there would be a software method to output 240p?
There are many Wii titles that would probably benefit from 240p.

Something I've wondered myself.

I wonder if the stars just never aligned for a programmer to both understand enough about the Wii's video output code, and also be a huge CRT nerd.
