basically, I have newly installed HBC on vWi on my Wii U!

I have the 720p setting so I can record stuff from it on my Happuage, but somehow, HBC force 4:3 instead of using the default 16:9, making it having black bar on the sides! it appear that the same thing happens for Gecko aswell!

how can I prevent this for happen? is it only on 720p setting? or did I install an old version of HBC?

I know that when I lauched SSBB through vWii, it was 16:9 on the HBC before existing it out from it

Its a bug that still hasnt been worked out yet. The HBC announces itself as a virtual console title, all of which launch in 4:3 on vWii. To fix this, you either need to look up a custom forwarder by JoostinOnline, or find a homebrew app that switches it back to 16:9 post entering the channel (I dont remember the name off the top of my head, but I'm fairly certain its by tuedj)

You need to download a Homebrew Channel Forwarder.
Install the WAD using this specific version of YAWMM

Read the FAQ at the bottom of this post.

Unless the title on the download page is incorrect, you linked a download for a forwarder for the Homebrew Browser, not the Homebrew Channel


Edit: Here is the forwarder he's talking about

it's to do w/ title IDs xD
(sorry for bump)
For example, CTGP's TitleID was 'CTGP' yet that means Commodore 64 game on Wii U, so now it's RMCX - R = Wii game.

    damn i got band
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Hm... I got suspended from reddit due to suspicious activity.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They could specify what suspicious is.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Not a huge fan of Reddit. Moderation is utter trash and people give out bad advice (well, not all the time, but you get what I'm saying). Even to a point where you get banned from a subreddit regardless of following the rules (or post deleted). :mellow:
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I never got banned from any subreddit :mellow:
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not subreddit and not banned
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    had to replace my password, just don't see what they meant with sus activity
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I am banned from the subreddit funny though, despite never posting anything there or getting any warning

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Did u check your e-mail to see whether they messaged you about the ban reason?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nothing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    only noticed last week when I was gonna comment on something
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Could be either your e-mail address being anonymous or temporary, or some other thing that I don't know of.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    nvm, was banned 3 years ago
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I asked why I was banned, never got a reply
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Well that was 3 years ago, shouldn't hurt to make a new account. Or just never bother.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm not banned from reddit, that was just from funny

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    From reddit was just the suspension, changed the password and all goood

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oh good. :)
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I've blocked all the auto-ban bots so I shouldn't be auto-banned for no reason
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't use reddit but do auto ban bots not need to be mod, which means they can see your posts regardless?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    not in other subs
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    basically they check if you're a member of other subreddits, you can be banned just for being in a sub they don't like, even though it is not against the rules
