From what I have gathered, when you have the Wii displaying 480p through component and you set it to widescreen 16:9, it should display at 852x480. For example, search wii 852x480 in Google and you'll get result that have pics of screen caps at that res. Is there a way to tell if my Wii is running at that res? (Wii is displaying on Westinghouse L2410N)

It should be if you're using component cables.

I don't have a westinghouse, but on my monitor you can click on menu and it will show you what resolution and refresh rate its currently running at.

I don't know if this helps but using my V-Digi Wii VGA cable on my LCD monitor, the monitor reports that the Wii (or perhaps rather the transcoder) is outputting at 640x480 at 60hz (Wii set to widescreen mode).

Yeah, that's what I first checked when I question the res it was running at. It will only tell me it was running at 60hz. It wont tell me at what resolution.

EDIT: It only says 480p@60hz. Not 640x480 or 720x480 or 852x480.

    like i searched all folders
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    are you using haxchi, tiramisu or aroma?
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no, I'm asking which one of them you are using
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    ohhhhh
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    on tiramisu you can access it by opening mii maker
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
