The Wii is a home video game console released by Nintendo on November 19, 2006. The system is famous for its motion control system, which was sometimes divisive amongst gamers but extremely popular with the general public. Despite being dismissed as a "gimmick" by some, the machine hosts some of the most critically acclaimed games of its generation.

Models

Early Wii models were fully backward compatible with Gamecube software and featured Gamecube controller ports on the top. Nintendo later dropped this functionality in order to save money.

At the end of the consoles lifespan, Nintendo launched the Wii Mini. This is a seriously hobbled version of the console with no networking capabilities and is limited to composite video output only.

Models tested

PAL launch model.

To avoid picture blackouts, connect the Wii directly to the OSSC via the component video inputs, do not use an external transcoder. No special settings are required on the OSSC.

HDMI Compatible Devices:

GCVideo

Note: GCVideo must be on firmware 3.1. WiiHDMI and ElectronAVE ship with 3.1. If your WiiDual is using an older version of GCVideo, you can grab 3.1 firmware from here. For more details on GCVideo settings, see the README in the GitHub.

  1. Connect a GC controller to controller port 1 on the Wii.
  2. Power on the Wii, then press and hold the button combo L+R+X+Y to open the GCVideo menu.
  3. Use Up+Down on directional pad and X+Y buttons (Back & Forward) to set the values below.
  4. When finished, select Store Settings to save and then Exit.
