If your TV can only display 480p and better, then i guess you've never plugged in anything besides a Wii or better since every game before the Wii came out was 99.9% 480i. All i know is, i can plug my Wii into my HDTV, with my component cable (official), set it to 16:9 480p (EDTV/HDTV) mode, and play any Wii game, including non-hd Wii games and non-HD GC/VC games. You can play 480i games through component, i play Metal Slug Anthology and all my GC games through component cable and they are 480i. Your TV must be able to display 480i since thats what regular TV is displayed in. Its exactly the same resolution, except one is an interlaced signal and the other is progressive. 480i is the standard definition for all DVD's and standard TV, so to have a TV that doesnt support it would be retarded.

The difference can be summed up in the single word, squat.

No my tv processes 480p and 480i diffrently, both modes are only used with the component inputs, I have 2 inputs 480p - 1080i and 480i/576i. Seeing as all I read on the Wii its capable of 480p resulution, so every game should work in 480p. I have a great Samsung 42"

The only other thing I have hooked up to it is the DVD player with dual progressive scan (50hz/60hz)

Sorry, but you have a SH!T Samsung 42". That is the dumbest thing i have ever heard in my entire life, having to change to a different connection on your TV to play non-hd Wii games. I'm almost tempted to just say you're an idiot and you must have just thought that was the case, but i am hoping you tested it thoroughly enough so i'm just going with the TV being the biggest POS i have ever heard of. So you're telling me, than when you plug your Wii in via component to the plug on your TV that you say only supports 480p or better, you cannot play VC games, most GC games, and some Wii games? If so, i would take that POS to Ebay or back to the shop it was bought, ask them to make sure you are correct, and if so, trade it in for anything else. I have never heard something so rediculous. Every TV i have ever seen running component cables can display 480i/576i and 480p+ from all component/hdmi inputs. Can you find out the exact model of the TV and i will make sure you're right.

I speak the truth, Pinball (wii) dosnt suport 480p and also the VC games I have downloaded. My TV has 2 component inputs one for 480i/576i and another for 480p - 1080i.
