Wii virtual console component to flatscreen problem

[WladimZappo]

Hi guys.

Just bought myself a wii. So I plugged it to my flatscreen (PHILIPS) with a thridparty component cable (JOYTECH), and everything was fine. Looked great, great fun, all that. But...

Whenever I try to play either SNES, NES or Megadrive games in this constellation, the games scroll slowly down the screen. Nice and easy. They look great, but they scroll, goddammit!! No problems at all when playing N64, turbogrfx, gamecube or Wii games. I've tried to change all the settings I could think of: TV-Type, widescreen settings, but nothing seems to help. When i connect the Wii to my flatscreen via the bundled SCART cable, everything works fine.

Any ideas? Should I invest in a NINTENDO component cable? Should my TV be set to something special? Should I just live with the fact that when I want to play my virtual console I'll have to change my whole setup? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had noticed there are a lot of scolling games on both NES and SNES. Perhaps that may be the problem?

I only have one VC game - didn't buy anymore because I can't seem to play even this one without it messing up.

It seems that only every alternate frame is shown, and the between frames show a frozen screen (the last one to be on before play) which is usually something like the wii menu or game title.

The flickering is unbelievably bad... Anyone else had this prob?

I had a similar problem with contra. The only workaround I found was to press the home button after starting the game (when the picture is not displayed properly). This brings up the wii menu stuff on top of the game which normally sorts the picture out. Go back to the game (cancel thge menus) and the game should play ok.

This seems to work for me (Pioneer plasma).
