The vWii menu uses the settings from the Wii U for displaying.

Are the black bars on the Wii Home Menu, or after you enter homebrew?

the vWii home menu has black bars on the sides and the top... the screen is basically in a box

How thick is the black border? If it's not much, it's normal. It's called underscan, and it was used to battle CRT TVs' overscan, so the image doesn't get cut off.

It has nothing to do with the hack but yeah it's an annoying little quirk. Different games will take different percentage of your screen and nothing is truly 16:9. Just make sure your TV stays on Full Pixel or 1:1 if it has such formats so you don't miss out on anything. Some games you can change screen formatting on TV to make it take up more of you screen but even then you'll get some bars either horizontal or vertical.

I say it's best to just leave it at 1:1 full pixel and look past it.

It's a shame they don't give us a way to correct this but the wii has the same issue at its core...

The wii is exactly like that, this is why it's happening \:

no it is not. the wii fills up my entire screen every homebrew and every game the wii menu fills up the entire screen aswell

wii was connected to hdtv with component cables and i didnt have any problems like this

Have you tried zooming in your TV?

It's been a while since I looked at my vWii and I don't remember it being like that. Have you looked at the vWii settings to see if there is anything in there that you can change?

none of the options on my tv do anything to help me, my tv is in standard full mode all of the other options zoom in way to much

I don't have that problem, sounds like it's your TV, you should change the display mode on your TV (there should be a dedicated button for it) to see if you can enable overscan.
