EDIT: guide uses 1.8b now instead of 1.6, upgrade to 1.8b. it works when launched directly from the HBC. It still requires IOS236 for now until its updated with the AHBPROT patches.
I decided to take the plunge and see what if I edit and save the changes to the system settings from inside SettingsEditorGUI,risking a brick if it messed them up.
And....IT WORKED.
NOTE: you will need IOS236 since it has NAND access enabled.
NOTE3: these settings revert back each time you enter WiiUMode. you will need to set them again each time you boot WiiMode. its better then not being able to change them at all tho.
THE STEPS
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Download SettingsEditorGUI (i used 1.8b).
2. Copy the "apps" and "ploader" folders to the root of your SD card. they are in the "Settings Editor GUI folder in the zip.
3. launch Settings Editor GUI from the Homebrew Channel.
4. Now that your in SettingsEditorGUI, take note of the Video Mode option, its set to "minimal by default(for me at least) and will change to 480i (if your using composite ) or 480p (if your using component set at 480p or higher) once you save your settings. do not worry, this is normal and does not mess up WiiMode at all.
5. change the settings you want to change then "save changes and Exit"
NOTE: i have not tested manually changing the Video Mode ,burnin, rumble, or IR sensitivity.
there should be no risk of brick by trying as they are reset by booting into WiiUMode and back to WiiMode.
Stuff I have changed and can confirm they work.
---------------------------------------------------
Video Aspect : it does infact work and you can set it to 4:3 even when the Wii U is set to 720p/1080i/1080p video mode.which means the reverse is true, you can set to 16:9 when Wii U is set to 4:3.
RESULT: once i saved and exited, the homebrew channel.System Menu,games, and apps all were running properly in 4:3. ( I had my Wii U set to 720p so 4:3 is normally impossible to set)

[Getting WiiConnect24 apps working, including standby on only apps] at least the news app if you install it via DOP-MII
NOTE: turning Standby Mode on makes the News App work. Weather threw a error code and failed to retrieve the weather. not sure if its related to my flaky WiFi connection, try it if you want.
the Wii U is unaffected by it and Will Still shutdown properly when turned off via power button or WiiMote when standby mode is on, same goes with returning to the Wii U menu. this is because it has no standby mode to enter.
Enabling WC24 Standby Mode:
Change "Shutdown Mode" from "Full" to "Idle"
Enabling WiiConnect24
Change "WiiConnect24" from "Disabled" to "Enabled"
thats it, the News Channel,and other WiiConnect24 Enabled only channels should work now, including ones that require Standby Mode on.
---------------------------------------------------
"Exit to Internet Settings" causes Wii to go back to System Menu and ask if you want to boot into Wii U mode to change the Settings
Changing the Sound Options work, I was able to set it to "Surround" from "Stereo" (mono is a option also)
I have not hooked it up to a Pro Logic Receiver yet to see if Wii Games output Pro Logic II like they do on a normal Wii set to Surround.

Try this out and tell me if it works:

I haven't added the patches (haven't had time), but it should load 236 automatically, as long as you have the "--vWii" argument in the meta.xml file.
Besides that, these are the changes that I have made since v1.6:
That's 25 reasons to update.v1.8
v1.7
- Added more USB Gecko output code and fixed grlib output not being shown.
- A fair amount of code cleanup (it's still messy though, lol) and a couple of safety checks (thanks megazig).
- Decreased size by about 19%.
- Missing options are no longer hidden. Instead, clicking on them gives the option to load the Wii Settings to set them for the first time.
- Menus are now fixed width so changing a setting won't resize it.
- "Loading Wii Settings" and "Returning to System Menu" won't both be displayed if Priiloader is set to autoboot/return to something beside the System Menu.
- "Loading Wii Settings" comes after the save prompt.
- Improved exit process.
- Improved neek detection so it will still be detected if crediar changes the Sneek directory (thanks tueidj).
- Changed the selection color (themeless) from gray to red.
- When loading the Wii Settings, you will only be prompted to save if you have made a change to your settings.
- Compatible-ish with Dolphin (requires recompile with "#define DOLPHIN" uncommented). You still can't load Wii Settings, but there is nothing I can do about that.
- Now the theme is loaded before the background fades in, so it will fade in any custom background your theme uses.
- Compatible with postLoader4
- Fixed fadeout occurring in the wrong order when exiting to Internet Settings
- USB Gecko support added (requires source to be recompiled with #define USBGECKO uncommented)
- Decreased size by 23%
- Fixed crashing when checking Priiloader's settings
- When exiting in an emunand, the Homebrew Filter option supports old versions as well.
- Screen fades out before resetting or shutting down Wii.
- Some code cleanup.
- Compiled with libogc v1.8.11
- Fixed video output being disabled when a selected channel isn't installed.
- Wii remote power button and POWER/RESET buttons now exit SE GUI
- When launched from postLoader4's shortcut, SE GUI will only use the pL theme.
Merry Christmas!
Edit: And in response to your last post, you should use the latest stable version when trying out new stuff. I don't see why you wouldn't.
