I can't believe the wifi got a client before ps5","comments":[{"id":47760010,"user":"gkhartman","time":1776128994,"time_ago":"13 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

Honestly surprised it took this long. I guess it's less than ideal, since the wii doesn't support modern tv resolutions.","comments":[{"id":47760122,"user":"dmonitor","time":1776129882,"time_ago":"12 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

The Wii supports 240p, though, which is very hard to replicate these days.","comments":[{"id":47760163,"user":"Acrobatic_Road","time":1776130190,"time_ago":"12 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

Or 480i if you want to watch classic anime on a CRT.","comments":[{"id":47760310,"user":"NathanielK","time":1776131499,"time_ago":"12 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

It can't really decode 480p/i very well.

The fact that it has component video out makes it a swiss army knife for everything else 240p/480i/480p.","comments":[{"id":47761297,"user":"ssl-3","time":1776141419,"time_ago":"9 hours ago","type":"comment","content":"

Indeed.

I watched a backup of a [480p24] DVD movie with a (hacked) Wii quite a long time ago, as a fallback after the PS3 I was using got tripped up on that film's Cinavia[1] watermarks.

The Wii worked OK-ish, but it was evident that it was barely keeping up with decoding the MPEG 2 video from the disc and putting it on the screen. Perhaps there is or was better software for that job, but there were some glitches and brief hangs.
