this is a simple mod for anyone wanting to run the wii in a fooled version of 1080i
here is what you will need
1.any tv that supports standard 480p HDTV
2.the nintendo wii component cable
3.the nintendo wii
now go into your system settings on the wii before you hookup the component cable here is why turn on the wii's 16:9 aspect ratio even if your tv isn't 16:9 this will then make games and wii software work more clearly then in standard aspect ratio then turn off the wii now connect the component cable to the wii turn on the tv to component 1 or what ever your tv requires then turn on the wii you will not only notice the wii has cleared up the way the menu and games look but now your wii is in a fooled version of 1080i
the screen clearity is a lot nicer but takes some getting use to

It Will still not be 1080i because the Wii's GPU will never allow you to render it and changing cables and settings will NOT do that.
You will run out of Ram,CPU speed on a wii if you got a way of doing it whihc NO one has!
I thought there was a setting were you could change it you told me?

wrong
try using it
first if you have a tv that supports 16:9 this mod will not work this mod is designed for people who have older hdtv's from 2004-2003 this mod does work but if you have a newer HDTV that supports monitor connections and hdmi the mod wont work because the tv can handle the 16:9 output

It is not 1080i because the Wii is not goign to run it because there is no msettings that will change it unless you get like a whole new Homebrewed Firmware which allows you to overclock the system.
you might have increased the pic quality by doing that but i will asure you it is still running at 480p
Does your TV show what P or I its running at?
Mine does but i dont have a wii yet until the 25th.

Hate to break it to you tabletpc(Wait, no I don't.) but you're wrong.
If your television had the capability of actually telling you what signal it's getting, you'd see 480p 16:9. That's all it does.
Moreover, you can't 'trick' hardware into doing that. The system contains specific programming for 480i/p resolutions in 4:3 and 16:9. Even if you theoretically *could* 'fool' the system into 1080i, the menus, the games, everything on the system would still only be able to run at 480p. You would see A.) The same image as before. or *maybe* B.) The screen would render in 1080p, placing your game, which is only programmed for 480p, in a small portion of the screen, either in the center or a corner.
Because the system is not physically equipped for it, you cannot physicially do it. I have verified this personally on my Sony HDTV, which states what kind of signal it is receiving.
*Cleans hands* This thread should be about done now.

All you get from that setup is 480P in 16:9 mode, nothing more nothing less. I think 480P still looks better than 1080 interlaced. Anything Progressive scanned looks better to me than anything interlaced, could just be me though. No 'tricking' involved at all.
I bet you just discovered the Wii is capable of sending out a 16:9 setting.

Most likely he did. But it's not like that's any secret to begin with.
And I agree, Progressive anything looks better than 1080i. Interlaced=Ugly.
Did anyone ever try Gran Turismo 4 in 1080i? It was AWFUL. lol.

Ok we have cleard up the fact that its running in 480p lol, but has anyone tryed putting the Wii into a upscaler?
I'm going to try this when I get my componet cable and try to upscale to see what happens, I know it Will only run in 480p natively but I want to see what upscaling dose for the Wii.

Looking forward to your results as I have heard that the upscaling really doesn't do much.

I have never viewed 1080p I've read that there is no visable difference between 1080i and 1080p but I think there is a big difference between 1080i and 720i or 480i becuase instead of 480 lines of resolution with 480i, 1080i has 1080 lines of resolution which allow for greater detail. Now when you look at the difference between 1080i and 1080p it would seem that 1080p is better because it refreashes all lines of resolution at one time where 1080i only refreshes the odd lines then the even.but like I said I have never viewed anything in 1080p i can't afford a blue ray disc player or a play station 3.

I think you may have mistaken what you read. It's widely speculated that you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p; that seems much more feesible(Though I still debate it myself). 1080i looks far worse than 720p IMO. So, I would assume that 1080p would look much better. The interlaced 1080 looks terrible to me, I refuse to use it.

I have watched some 1080i on a 60" DLP and it didn't look too bad, better than standard, but not even close to 720p.

Most arguments for 720p/60fps being better center about the Progressive scan and 60fps, but ignore the resolution argument. The truth is there are more than twice the quantity of pixels in the 1080i/30fps over the 720p/60fps. There is the counter that there is roughly the same quantity of pixels per second with both formats, but unless there is new frames each 1/60th second, then there is not any benefit to the extra redundant frames and as has been explained before, sporting events are currently the only video where this would make a difference. In my mind the extra resolution of the 1080i/30fps is preferred overall considering all of the source material that is available. To that end the ultimate display in my opinion is a 1920x1080p/60fps display.

Keep in mind that using ANY interlaced method, is inferior to a similar Progressive scan method.
And in general, 720p does appear better than 1080i, because there's no extra redraw, no blurring of the edges due to skipping lines, and in high motion events, the very areas where interlaced anything can be seen easily, the effects get amplified. You have a half-frame difference between each one, which makes for a very nasty effect, which is easily seen if you try using an interlaced input source on a Progressive output, such as playing a console game through a TV tuner with poor deinterlacing protocols.

This is why I hate watching DVDs rendered in 1080i... It looks terrible without a true upscaler, that actually on-the-fly reformats the image, and even then.... Not the hottest image to look at.
