Hey all,
Sorry for the confusing details here. Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar or has any ideas.
I recently acquired a Wii, model RVL-001, and modded it using wii.guide. It works fine with the component cable, and I just got a third party Composite cable to play it on a 1080p Samsung Plasma, but it won't display at all. So I used the composite cables from the Wii and plugged the green cable into the yellow component port on the Samsung, and it displays in black in white, but I still can't select 480p. I've got an old CRT TV with both component and composite ports, but plugging the Wii into that with composite cables is a garbled mess, and I still couldn't select 480p.
When using the composite cable into my Samsung Plasma TV, it just says 'resolution not supported', so I was hoping that I just needed to change it to 480p. I'm wondering if it's a hardware fault with the Wii, or if it's anything to do with modding it? I've tried 3 different HD TVs, and none of them recognise the Wii with composite, but component works fine.
The thing is, it does actually display on the CRT with composite, even though it's garbled, but I don't know if that's because of the TV or the Wii. It seems like it might be the Wii. Is it possible for the Wii to be faulty outputting on composite but not component?
Cheers.
