VideoMode not working

Open Mowlawner opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

When I set VideoMode=2 in settings.cfg in sd:/wii64/ and ensure the file is not a .txt file, but a .cfg file, wii64 does not respect my desire to output in 240p. Issue occurs in ricegfx and glidegfx versions, wiivc not tested.

@Mowlawner can you try forcing Wii64 to 240p but in arguments?

Add the following arguments between <app> and </app>: <arguments> <arg>VideoMode=2</arg> </arguments>

Tell us if it's working.

Sorry for the delay- which file am I adding this to? settings.cfg?

No. These arguments must be added to meta.xml file. (sorry i forgot to say it)

Add the following arguments between <app> and </app>: <arguments> <arg>VideoMode=2</arg> </arguments>

Thank you for clarifying! I just copy and pasted the arguments into the Glide and Rice meta.xml files, but they're both still outputting 480i for me.

well, that's another issue. Maybe @emukidid needs to see and fix it

This is probably a dumb question but you made sure your TV does support 240p output? Probably it does not and outputs 480i or is just displaying incorrectly which can happen in some TV models that cannot recognize lower definitions properly, such as 240p/288p Arguments in meta.xml are working for me, my TV already outputs 480p but I force it VideoMode=3 which equals 480p so I'm never accidentally booting into 240p

@leodexe thanks for the reply! at the time i was using a CRT that was running other emulators on the same wii at 240p with no issue. unfortunately i never found a fix, but for what it's worth i no longer have that tv anyway so i'm no longer in a position to experience that issue anymore
