Hi,
Up until now I thought the Masterpieces in Brawl were just Virtual Console channels that had time limits on them.
However, there seems to be additional info there. I tried my Wii on a widescreen TV (the one it's on most of the time is in 4:3 mode), and surely enough, the Masterpieces were pillarboxed to preserve their original aspect ratio, while the VC channels of the same titles (I tried things like Super Mario Bros. and Star Fox) are stretched and you have to adjust the aspect on the TV.
Is the pillarboxing only due to Brawl? Or are they actually different than VC in that they have aspect coding? Is it possible to modify the .wad of VC titles to automatically adjust aspect ratios like Brawl does? It's not that I mind changing it on the TV... but it would be nice if it automatically adjusted.
