Wii Software \ Progressive scan on GCN games on Wii

I've recently started playing Metroid Prime Echoes on my Wii, as I never got round to playing it on my Gamecube, and I want to play it before buying number 3.

I'm outputting via component cables to a computer monitor, but when I select EDTV from the Wii menu, I get a garbled display once Metroid starts, so I'm forced to select the 60Hz option from the Wii menu to get it to work.

Is there any way to get progressive scan outputting on this PAL game, I'm pretty sure that the option would have been available for NTSC GCN users for Metroid Echoes, is there any way to obtain that now that PAL Wii supports it?


Thanks!

i think you can only play GC games on 60hz which is (480i)
i've tried countless times trying to get GC to display 480p but cant

Oh well. It looks alright in 60Hz mode anyway I suppose.

I've always believed that the Wii will automatically display 480p compatible GC games in 480p. The GC did originally come with digital video output for 480p.

Or i could be wrong, one guy in this forum:

www.neowin.net/

says that 480p GC games are ONLY available on the NTSC versions. Pal GC games were never 480p enabled.

I can second that. It's true folks! PAL cube games has no 480p support whatsoever.

I'm not sure about if the wii will automatically display compatible cube games in 480p though, I think you still need to hold down B as the game is loading.
