Wii 'fuzzy' picture on certain games?

[Escape-To-88]

Hmm sounds like a lot more than mine!
I have a Pal 360 and U.S PS3 set-up n the same set as well as the Wii, so clearly less than you. Perhaps it's a minor problem with the drive on those titles?
My mate has a U.S copy of No More Heroes, I'll borrow it ASAP and check that.
Still waiting for my bloody component lead to come through though, but have noticed it pretty much disappear from SSBB when I tranferred it to the hard disk - which makes me think it's a disc drive problem. Anyway, it's so minor I'm not particularly bothered, just thought it was weird!

Is that the Jap Saturn I sold you? Glad to see it's still getting use!

Yeah I have gone kinda overboard on the consoles lol

Oooh something else that might mke a difference is that mine is standing vertically & I'm not using the supplied stand with my Wii so perhaps it is a drive problem & it's caused by vibration on the disc.

Lol it is indeed the White Saturn you donated
Still gets it's fare share of use...especially sine I finally got hold of Garrega & Batsugun in the last couple of months
It's probably my most loved console out of all the ones I own

Yeah mine's vertically with the stand, but I live in an old period building with battered wooden floors - so may not be the best surface!

Glad your enjoying the Saturn still - Garegga is indeed awesome!

Ok got the Wii back today, a fully replaced board, fully confirmed working and guess what....same problem!
There is clearly an issue with the PSU or something in this case right?!
I'm about to take it round a mates and try it.

[Escape-To-88]

Ok can't go round there yet, this has clearly been 'fixed', and there is a new board revision in there, and now I'm wondering if there even was a problem, but why am I STILL getting interference - could it be the PSU? ARGH this is driving me crazy.

[Soundwave]

Damn that just sucks.
Sorry to hear your having the same issues.

I assume then that they did indeed send you back a US machine??

Fingers crossed it is the PSU causing the problem.

Guess you might also want to rule out the video cables aswell?

[ETC]

this might sound dumb but you did set your picture output on your wii to 480p, i didnt when i changed to component and had flicker till i changed it, also are you using an official cable, I have had a flicker before on my us machine but only on SMG and only once? Is your wii or the cables near a large speaker? or something emitting radio waves?

[Escape-To-88]

Yeah, I have actually fixed this prob now - did it about an hopur ago!
Turns out it was the PSU AND the ****E lead. With a replacement psu and an official lead it works wonders - How bloody obvious! SIGH! I tried more than one 3rd party component lead so was sure it wasn't that, but my Sony LCD clearly hates cheap crap!!

I don't know about your official component cable, but my one is shielded like nothing I've seen. The cable is so thick you'd think it was a transatlantic comms cable or something! I guess you get what you pay for.

[Escape-To-88]

Well, mine seemed to work on my mate's TV!? There's obviously some clash with cheap cables and my Sony LCD, anyhow it's now fixed which is the main issue!

[Link83]

I am glad you got it sorted (although I dread to think how much it must have cost in total to sort it all out )

Do you mind if I ask what was wrong with your Official UK Wii PSU?

[Escape-To-88]

Not sure to be honest, guess it was a shielding issue, when I get a chance I'll take it over for my dad to have a look at, he's an electrician so should have a good idea.
Well I didn't pay all the costs for repair, I actually got a FREE uk psu! So only £25 (ouch) for a new component lead - yeah I could have got it for cheaper off ebay etc. but Gamestation would have let me take it back if it wasn't an issue.
