NTSC WII

Post by Overkill »

As you may now by now, the wii can output the original low resolution of consoles like Sega Megadrive, Super NES, etc, both in virtual console or emulators. Unfortunately NEO GEO games in virtual console, even if dowloaded the USA NTSC versions,will output in 50hz in Euro Pal consoles... So you will have all your neogeo favorites cutted in top and bottom of the screen! So I grab a program called "Wii region changer" that let you change the region or the video system. I changed my Wii to an NTSC USA console, but it can't ouput NTSC trough my scart rgb, the screen gets to red. Maybe because scart don't exist in USA??

Well , my doubt is if i try component cables the colors will get right and that way i will be able to play my wii with virtual console Neogeo games in glorious 60hz?

that's right, Wii systems with NTSC fw do not output RGBs, but component only.

Not sure though if PAL VC games will boot up in 60Hz then.

Problem solved. Changed my wii to NTSC with the "wii region changer" changed my cable to the component and now displaying correctly neogeo virtual arcade games in 60hz. But i think in low resolution games the cable scart RGB igives slightly better image... maybe some placebo effect don't know...
