Posted March 18, 2007 Recently my opera on Wii has been crashing anybody had the same problem? One person I talked to suggested cache over load, but somebody else said they had streamed a 2hour movie no problems, so the only thing I can think of is beta instability? Any ideas people?

Posted March 18, 2007 It crashed on me once, but only once. Could very well be beta problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2007 Well my problems continue definitly think it is overheating. My wii randomly crashes, stops dead with a dull buzzing noise, but sometimes it will be weeks between crashes. which makes me think it I send it to Nintendo they will just send it back cos it won't crash. But when it does crash it will do it again minutes after, a lot of times, so surely that would point to overheating? So I've tried moving it, so its on its own and has plenty of space, but still seems to do it from time to time, anyone else got any suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2007 24 march our gaming club has an big event on this subject in the netherlands here is the press release: NiSuTe HDTV Expert Event The Netherlands (Text Dutch) Saterday 24 March NiSuTe Europe will have an expert event again! NiSuTe HDTV Expert Event The Netherlands (Text Dutch) Voor gamers is de ene TV de andere niet! Voorlichtingsdag tv’s en games bij Expert in Tilburg, georganiseerd door Nisute Europe. Gamers opgelet! Ben jij de trotse eigenaar van een X-box 360, Playstation 2, GameCube of ben je van plan dit jaar de Nintendo Wii of de Playstation 3 aan te schaffen? Let dan goed op! Wanneer je het maximale uit je televisie wilt halen, moet je rekening houden met de technologische mogelijkheden van de nieuwste spelcomputers en of je huidige TV dit wel aan kan. Je zou toch zeggen: een TV is een TV? Helaas. Met de komst van de nieuwe generatie spelconsoles komt het steeds vaker voor dat televisies de aangeboden signalen van deze krachtige machines niet optimaal gebruiken. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de mogelijkheid om High Definition-beelden op je scherm zien of digitaal Dolby-geluid over meerdere kanalen te horen. Erg leuk, maar niet als je huidige TV deze nieuwigheden niet aankan. Je betaalt ten slotte wél voor de moderne technologie die in het binnenste van deze spelcomputers huist. Dit leidt vaak tot grote ergernis van de speler, die immers een TV heeft gekocht die achteraf niet aan de wensen voldoet. Het resultaat is een televisiebeeld dat er een stuk minder fraai uitziet dan op plaatjes in folders en magazines. Evenement Om zulke teleurstellingen te voorkomen, houdt de vestiging van Expert aan de Bredaseweg in Tilburg een evenement voor spelers uit de regio om hen voor te lichten. Zo kunnen zij uit het ruime aanbod TV’s van Expert het apparaat kiezen dat het beste bij hun console past. Natuurlijk zijn ook ouders, vrienden, opa’s en oma’s welkom, aangezien zij het vaak zijn die de nieuwe apparatuur - vooral tijdens de feestdagen - betalen. De medewerkers van Expert geven u graag advies om ervoor te zorgen dat u het uiterste uit uw televisie en gameconsoles kunt halen. Hierin worden zij bijgestaan door NiSuTe Europe, een groep enthousiaste videogame-spelers met veel kennis van zaken over alles wat met games te maken heeft. Bij hen kunt u terecht met vragen over de nieuwste games en consoles die u zou willen aanschaffen. Op het evenement zullen de pro’s van NiSuTe genoeg gameconsoles hebben staan om u het verschil in prestaties te laten zien. Wij nodigen iedereen graag uit om zelf mee te spelen en vragen te stellen. Voor wie er over denkt om een TV aan te schaffen, is dit tevens een gelegenheid bij uitstek. Expert biedt tijdens deze dag namelijk een extra groot voordeel bij de aanschaf van een televisie. Let wel: een dure TV maakt niet meteen de beste TV, dus ook de lager geprijsde modellen zijn geschikt voor een perfecte weergave van het beeld van uw game console. De jongere spelers kunnen rekenen op een klein presentje wanneer ze mee spelen (zoalng de voorraad strekt). Tevens zullen wij proberen de nieuwste consoles aanwezig te hebben. Wanneer: Zaterdag 24 Maart Waar: Expert Bredaseweg 110, 5038 NJ Tilburg Tijd: van 12:00 uur tot 17:00 uur Voor meer info kijkt u in de aanbiedingskrant van Expert.

Posted March 22, 2007 I finally got a component cable. I ordered one months ago from http://www.nedgame.nl but they still didn't have it in stock, so i went to some local gamestores and found one, the salesman told me I was very lucky because they're pratically sold out all the time :P It's such a big difference when compared to the composite cable (on my HDTV)! I have to admit I never connected my Wii to my own tv until I had the component cable (had it downstairs all the time connected to a 'normal' tv), but that was because I knew it would look as terrible as the image I get from my gamecube with a composite cable. Everyone with an HDTV should get the component cable, really, it makes a HUGE difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 2, 2007 Only 3 lights on my Wiimote flash when i press a button, not all 4. Why is this? It means you've got 3/4 or 3 quarters of your battery power left. (you were probably joking, right?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 6, 2007 Just bought a 32" Samsung HDTV, bit disappointed as the picture for my Wii looks worse than on my 24" Sony that's like nearly ten years old. I have it rigged up via RGB, does a component cable make a good bit of difference? I was looking forward to seeing a nice, crisp Zelda but it looks awful. Any help with TV/Wii settings or cable advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any help with TV/Wii settings or cable advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Samsung are not famous for their upscaling chips, they're mostly entry level TV's after all. The only thing you can do to make it look a little better is reduce the TV sharpness (there should be options for that) so the jaggies disappear. Not much else to do though. I don't think it's worth the upgrade since you already have RGB, but component would enable 843x480 progressive instead of 640x480 interlaced; should be a improvement (but not worth £19/30€ IMO).

Posted April 11, 2007 Is Nintendo customer support still 0870 6060 247? Been trying to call them this morning and it just rings and rings. Unless they're not open at 9:45 on a weekday, although the 247 at the end of the number would at least suggest it's a 24 hour line. EDIT: Sod it, sent them an email instead.
