Hacking Why some Wii games have a weird 4:3 aspect ratio on Wii U?

I noticed this with a couple of games (like "Just Dance 1" and "The Last Story"), while it doesn't happen with others (like "Just Dance 3").
I tried different options in Wiiflow ("force 16:9" and every option in "video mode") and nothing. Even changing the tv settings did nothing.

Any suggestion on the matter?

You launched the loader from HBC (in 4:3) or from a forwarder?
If you launch HBC first, there's a homebrew fix to set HBC into 16:9 again before launching another homebrew.

If you are in 16:9 and the game is switched to 4:3, maybe it has something to do with the GameID, like with HBC's TitleID starting with L? (WiiU think you launch a VC title)
But there are a lot of Wii games starting with S, and all Just Dance games start with S too so it's probably not the GameID and something else force the WiiMode in 4:3

I tried launching Wiiflow using a forwarder, and the ratio was right, thank you for the suggestion :)
I suppose this happened because of the 4.0 and the native 4:3 for VCs.

Thank you again (I'll use JoostinOnline solution from now on)

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
