      Oh nice! Is it a specific softmod? Is there a possibility to make irreversible damage to the Wii-console? I’d like to take good care of it, because I know it has been used quite little. But thanks for the info! I’ll start reading about softmods 🙂

        Howdy! I’ve tried to carefully read through this thread along with some other threads here about using an OSSC with a PC-monitor. I’m writing here in order to make sure that I won’t hit any more snags. Due to a lack of research, I bought a Wii2HDMI-converter in order to play Gamecube-games with a compatible Wii-console. I got the Wii working with my PC-monitor, but only after trying to run Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker through the Wii’s Gamecube-hardware did I realize that even with the Wii2HDMI-adapter, the GC-hardware inside the Wii-console only outputs a 576i-signal. Yes, I have a PAL-region Wii. Here are my questions:

        – Because I have a PAL-region Wii, the Gamecube outputs a 576i-signal. Will it work with my PC-monitor, even though it’s impossible for the OSSC to change the Gamecube-hardware’s resolution to something that exactly matches my PC-monitor’s supported resolutions. Also, according to my understanding from VGP’s store page for OSSC, the device is only capable of forming either a 576p-signal or pass the original interlaced signal through. In this thread I noticed people talking about certain settings, which you can use to somehow change the image, but I’m still not sure will I be able to make the settings work on a monitor. The YouTube-channel “My life in Gaming” did mention that generally PC-monitors are more tolerant of oddball resolutions, so I’m hoping it’ll work.
        – Since the OSSC has at least some capabilities to somehow make adjustments to the image, will it, in my case, exclude using a Retrotink 2X Pro for my purpose? I’d really enjoy a hassle free plug & play -option. I do understand that the OSSC is more similar to the Retrotink than the Framemeister.

        I’m in a happy situation right now, because I have two options; I can either buy an OSSC in order to keep my work desk nice and clean. The other option is that I have a possibility to buy a fully working old LCD tv that supports component input. Today I tested my Wii-console with it and it runs Gamecube-games just fine. Don’t know how long will the tv last in good working order though. Still, I’d rather buy the OSSC as long as it works. It’d be a bit tricky to place the old LCD tv somewhere inside my small apartment, where it wouldn’t look totally ugly and out of place 🙁

        Thanks for your help!
