viwii? Don't you mean vWii?

And what do you mean by you updated to 4.1? Do you mean 4.1.0?

Perhaps you should explain a little better. Anyways, I think, since you updated your Wii U side after you hacked your vWii side, it's kinda fucked up the vWii because it might have possibly updated the vWii's IOSes during that update.

Try changing the resolution in Wii U settings to 480p before launching vWii.

I know it sounds stupid, but some TV/Wii U combo's don't play well together, or some Wii U's develop a disease. I dont know much about it. If I had to take a real guess, it got hot and a ball detached from chip/motherboard so it can't upscale correctly.

The reason why certain Wii U/TV combinations won't work is because those TVs/Monitors don't support YCbCr (I think it was YCbCr 4:4:4 or 4:2:2) which is what the Wii U uses while it's in vWii mode... or something like that. 480p works because of... reasons (I think HDMI automatically chooses RGB at lower resolutions). Either way it's a simple fix that for whatever reason Nintendo refuses to fix..

Ok. Personally I don't care nor have the problem, but I thought almost every TV that have component/hdmi input, support YCbCr and not RGB. Not the other way around. I've never come across a TV that has Component that doesn't say Y Cb Cr at the ports anyway, so it seems silly to throw it away for HDMI. Hell, most Blu-Rays and DVDs are encoded with YCbCr afaik.

That sucks though. Lol.

Ok, just tried changing the resolution to 480p and it works, changed back to 1080p and its green again.
Surley the wii can function at 1080p?

Anyone got any ideas?.

Again what happened was:

Brand new wii , lego back on old firmware.
Ran indiana jones and installed homebrew channel, backed up nand and turned off for the evening.
This morning ran bayonetta 2 to pdate firmware to 4.1
load vwii and its green screen

This is really strange. I thought the white was being green, but black -> green? Could you post a photo of the Wii menu?

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
