I messed a bit with that 16:9 thingy. And I guess, I did it.
Only checked on my 16:9 PAL TV with component cable (EDTV 480p)
First of all you need that 16:9 code fix
Video.c
Code:ÂÂÂÂ/* Select preferred video mode */ ÂÂÂÂvmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL); ÂÂÂÂ ÂÂÂÂ/* Allocate memory for the framebuffer */ ÂÂÂÂframebuffer = MEM_K0_TO_K1(SYS_AllocateFramebuffer(vmode));
Change to/add
Video.c
Code:ÂÂÂÂ/* Select preferred video mode */ ÂÂÂÂvmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL); ÂÂÂÂ ÂÂÂÂvmode->viWidth = 678; ÂÂÂÂvmode->viXOrigin = (VI_MAX_WIDTH_PAL - 678)/2; ÂÂÂÂ/* Allocate memory for the framebuffer */ ÂÂÂÂframebuffer = MEM_K0_TO_K1(SYS_AllocateFramebuffer(vmode));
It's not included in any source available, yet. So you have to compile it yourself.
I'm sure Hungip84 will implement it asap.
and after you have compiled the dol with the fix, use it as usual.
U must note, that your standard bg.png will now look squeezed on TV.
U need a 16:9 bg.png!
Like this:
for this bg u'll have to change to the following in config.txt
Code:console_coords=40,71,340,290 covers_coords=482,110
And at this point, you also need to resize your covers to 120x225!
All together it would look like this on your TV, then.
Looks like screen filling widescreen, doesn't it ?
While working this out, I faced some weird issues with the config.txt
Anytime I changed coordinates, height, or width of the console, the loader won't boot up. It just shows black screen. So i did not move the console.
Second issue was:
When changing the coordinates from the box art, x > 482 then I got a wiimote error after booting up the loader... Need to power off the wii.
it's weird... I don't have any clue why that is... Anybody ?? Hungip84?? Maybe a bug in source?
I also tried different variations of imgPath[]; But issues would remain....
And for the designers in you:
To create proper 16:9 background images you'll have to create your image in 853x480
and when you're done resize it to 640x480
Hope Blue-K will redesign his pseudo-Coverflow-background but in 16:9
That'S it for now.
The 16x9 Ratio looks really nice on your PAL-LCDGreat Work, WiiShizzza
Hope that someone put that into a DOL-File, want that feature
here's the dol, you will need to grab that background and add those coordinates to the config in order to work, it looked perfect on my TV, finally!
Thank you very much for this, WiiShiiza!

Hey Hungyip84.... I'm a bit bored.... You got something to test for me? ^^
Also I wonder if you got an Idea for the issues I had when moving the console and the box art:

I actually miss the "game boot confirmation" ..... bring it back...... and move the language select to that page too
Too many different opinions out there. I think I might add back the "confirmation page" but keep the language select on first page. Not sure...
you're all working with Dimok, right
-Relax hungyip84... take some days off. You deserve it!

Well guys this is awesome it has come along really well. another cool feature if possible is to have the backgrounds in a folder and have them change random each time you were to run usbloader.
Yeah hungyip84
Everything is working like it should we can wait for your next release. The last few days went like a storm. All those fixes, add-ons. Nice work. Take a few days and reload and come back with a overdone V7 with widescreen support
haha.
Thx man you are rocking the scene.

Agreed, the progress made in just these few days in this thread is unbeleivable. I wish all threads here were this productive! Doing a great job guys v6 is the "shizzle", going to try the newer builds soon!
If somebody wants it, I have a 16:9 V6.7 version with proper bg and matching config.txt right here:

You know where to put the files, if not, check first post....
What you need is the covers, but in 120x225 to work with this 16:9 version.
Go find them and resize yourself

@Xdqwerty, to answer your question, they're a fusion Brit-pop/J-pop/electronic band with a woman vocalist. Flamingo is hands down their best known song but they've got a ton of other really good songs+1 -
