/vr/ - Retro Games

This question pertains to CRTs and the Wii--which in itself isn't retro, but since I and many others here use it as a retro emu box, hopefully I won't be lynched.

I bought Wii component cables to get the best picture possible, but it appears that when the Wii is connected to the cable, it automatically sets itself to 480p mode--which is no good, as my CRT is not capable of 480p. I have not been able to find a solution to keep it set to 480i--it resets to 480p every time the system is turned on. Outside of turning on the console, unplugging the cable, and plugging it back in (the Wii sets itself to 480i when the plug is removed, and seems to only switch to 480p when the cable is detected at startup), is that just the way it is?

If so, that sucks, since years of PS2 component output on the same TV (which doesn't behave in this manner) have spoiled me.

>in before "get a better CRT"
All in due time. But really, I'm pretty happy with my CRT and this is the only real downside I've experienced with it.
