One guide green screen defect

Daino Manthis AADD · Nov 19, 2023

Hello there,

I'm contacting because I'm experiencing a defect with one guide.

It works perfectly with many devices: Nvidia shield, snes mini, Megadrive mini.

I also use it with Wii u with no problems at all.

But on this device, if I enter the Wii backward compatibility mode (vwii), it goes all green.

An interesting thing to note is that if I change the console screen settings with 480p (instead of 720 or 1080), the green defect won't happen.. But in that case it goes either in 4:3 screen with the borders or smaller 16:9

So the vwii backwards compatibility mode can work too, it's just not rendering the colours correctly with the higher resolutions.

So, long story short:

-high Res, Wii u works great and render wrong colours (all green) only if you enter backward compatible mode

-low Res, both the modes have right colours but are both impacted by the screen reduction.

Ideally, colours shall work in high Res mode in the way they do in lower res mode

Thank you

:)

Hello there,

In regards of changing the video settings, I already mentioned it works lowering the resolution to 480p, but in that case the screen gets reduced (either 4:3 with black side borders or smaller 16:9)

Using a component cable is not an option: one guide can be used only via the in hdmi port of the console (and I have not that kind of cable anyway)

Concerning the cache, that's not the problem. The console works fine, without passing through Xbox.. and also with that, as long as I don't enter vwii mode or if I enter it in low resolution (but again, I lose screen dimension in that case)

It's either one guide or the Xbox that has a wrong colour coding for that mode at higher resolution (otherwise either Wii u or the mode should not work at all in any case and not just in that specific setting) and this should be fixed on Microsoft end.

Hello Daino M, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

I understand your frustration. Here are some solutions that might help you fix the problem with your Wii U in backwards compatibility mode (vWii):

Change the video settings in vWii: Some users have reported that changing the video settings in vWii can fix the problem

Try a cable component: If you have a cable component, you could try using it to see if it fixes the problem.

Clear the hard drive's system cache: Corrupt data in your Wii U's cache can cause problems. Follow this guide for help: support.xbox.com/xbox-360/console/clear-system-cache

Start the Wii U console in the Wii Menu: Turn on the Wii U console, and then press and hold the B button on the Wii U GamePad, Wii Remote, or Wii U Pro Controller when you see the Wii U home screen.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us again.

The grinding noise of death- you have a defective blu-ray drive.

Also I heard of the green screen of death.

All is pretty rare though. (Especially compared to the RRoD)
