Gaming re4 has black vertical lines... ?

[sphere9]

i have a wide-screen tv, yet when i play re4 i am getting vertical black lines on each side of my screen.

I have a 32" wide-screen, im not getting that... funny. And its stupid to ask if you sat your wii to wide-screen right? :-)

 

[sphere9]

yeah, it's set properly =[

i made a picture to demonstrate what my problem is

(i added the lines in paint, just imagine that they're black)

P.S

mine is the wii edition, i just got a random screenshot to explain my point,

the bars that are appearing are black, i just used grey to illustrate my point better

the bars always appear during the game.

You use 50hz, 60hz or 480p ?

 

[sphere9]

... i have no idea, how can i find out?

 

[stormbob]

Wii System Settings -> Screen -> TV Type.

ah, thanks, next time i get to use the wii i'll have a check,

which should i set it too?

 

[stormbob]

You got a PAL Wii? Cause if you do, and have a decent tv use 60hz.
If you have combonet cabels (bought seperatly) you should use 480p.

I use 480p, and there is not borders on Resident Evil, and ive just tested on 60hz aswell - no borders. I dunno if this could solve your problem tho, but its a try worth.

I have the official rgb cable and when I set the wii to pal 576i(50hz) I get a green line across the bottom of the screen but when I set it to 60hz it disappears. Anyone else getting this?

I don't know the technical reasoning for it, but I heard it had something to do with a lot of widescreen TVs being made differently and that most are made a little off of 16:9. Some widescreen compatible games don't account for that so you get black bars if you have a TV that is wider than what is actually displayed. I'm not sure if anyone can understand me.

Makes sense to me

when i set my wii from 50hz to 60hz everything is all blurry looking and i think the bars may have gotten slightly bigger, or it may just be me... =/

yeah, makes sense to me, so i'm doomed to have black lines on my screen? =[

they're so distracting...

You'll get used to it, don't worry

 

[WK416]

Don't worry about it. The action from being swarmed every now and then will keep you focused on the shooting.

Come to think of it I actually had these black lines but I paid no attention to it. The game's too good! If they were red or blue or something insane then I would have cared/noticed.

PAL Wii (and game) running at 480p, 60Hz on a widesreen NTSC only tele.
