I've never encountered this.

I've noticed faint, regularly spaced vertical lines on the screen while playing GCN games, though. 'Sbout it.

I think my Wii just broke.

Does that sound like I'm going into labor?

Anyway. I've been replaying Eternal Darkness, so I cut on the Wii and selected the GCN channel. I was then given a blue screen with COMPONENT 2 in the upper right corner. This, of course, is not a function of the Wii, but of my television screen, which means that it isn't receiving a signal.

Yet it IS receiving a signal. If I turn the television off and on quickly, I can see the screen that I'm supposed to see briefly, before it is painted over by COMPONENT 2.

Has this happened to anyone else?

No, but now I'm afraid to play Eternal Darkness on mine. Especially since that sounds almost like something Eternal Darkness would do, just to fuck with you.


Yes, it does sound like something Eternal Darkness would have done. The first time I played ED, I had a pretty old television with a volume knob, so the "madness effects" didn't fool me. If anything, they made me kind of excited! "Perhaps my television has discovered its SUPER SENTAI POWER DIGITAL TELEVISION FORM!"

HENSHIN!?

Now, though, I have a better television. So it gives me a little bit of a surprise.

I've determined that the problem lies in the composite cables I bought from Nintendo a while back. Gonna have to get 'em swapped out now.
