So Wii homebrew on vWii has a tendency to display 4:3 content stretched out. Not quite to full 16:9, but definitely enough to introduce ugly-vision. For example, launching Trauma Center: Second Opinion, a 4:3 game, via the stock Wii Disc Channel will boot the game up in the correct aspect ratio. This also goes for virtual console games. But if I load them through something like TinyLoad, or USBLoaderGX, it stretches.

I've tried enabling "Wii U Widescreen" in USBLoader, which does set the screen to 4:3, but it undoes itself whenever I quit a game and back out into the loader which is annoying. The "Force 4:3" option doesn't work, either. I did try setting the Wii U's output to 480p, which did force everything into 4:3, but that gives me the opposite problem where now I can't run anything in widescreen.

Edit: I'm on a PAL system, if that matters. The Framebuffer option in USBLoader doesn't work either.

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
