The deflicker filter turns off when the wii message board is loaded, even after uninstalling and reinstalling priiloader. no deflicker makes everything look like shit. considering how desperate others are to turn it off, i swear to GOD this issue is happening to ANNOY ME SPECIFICALLY. oh my GOD

I hacked my Wii for the first time, not to play anything in particular, but because I saw a video showing that you can turn off a deflicker filter that is turned on by default (intended to make the image look better on CRT displays) which gives everything a slight blur
Standard <<<>>> Deflicker Off

Btw, ffmpeg has a deflicker filter that might make it a lot easier to watch lots of these…

it really feels like a bell curve
just using the cable that comes out of the box -> gets expensive homemade cables and start thinkering with framebuffer and deflicker options on a Wii to get the clearest picture -> just wants to use the cable that comes out of the box

component input repaired, too! it's a good feeling to be able to identify the precise component for replacement without even looking at the board, just by observing the TV's behavior and learning the schematic.

Man what a game changer (literally) all these Wii hacks are. The old family Wii got all the old web apps back online, and fixed that awful deflicker!
Even been playing some Mario Kart online again 😄

Ah, the power of USB Loader GX’s deflicker/frame buffer combo. 😌

I finally have USB Loader GX working on my Wii with an external SSD! I backed up all my Wii games, which now look slightly better with the deflicker filter turned off, and I don’t need to swap discs. I also have some GameCube games downloaded (GC game prices are wild) with widescreen patches.

It's interesting to see that the drop shadow on text looks good/correct in 480i but in 480p looks odd. Genuinely looks like it was designed around the deflicker filter.

huh, apparently there are two Deflicker modes if you hold Left when opening Options, both games.
Trade-off is less sprites/chunks. It may not seem it's doing anything different until you compare them side by side in slower motion.
Doesn't seem like there's any hardware mods for this either :c

forcing the deflicker off in wii games feels like getting glasses for the first time

oh yes! this is a sub-300TVL, 13" TV. it's perfect for this game, it's all sparkly with deflicker filter off (in Nintendont).

I think this (in addition to Battle Gear 2/Tokyo Road Race) is one of the PS2 games that renders the 3D and UI interchangeably per-field. Or at least with some kind of weird vertical subpixel offset per-field to deflicker the image due to it rendering that way

Finally made it! Wii games running out of HDMI with 1:1 pixels and no blur, raw pixelsss!!
Via WiiU at 480p 4:3, with USBLoaderGX Deflicker (expanded) and framebuffer video width

In USB Loader settings you can set deflicker to off or off extended
that will clean up the blur effect Nintendo like to use

It's not a real representation of what it was like back then, but I've been playing my Wii library on a hacked Wii U and it's been glorious. Downloaded a mod that boots the Wii mode into proper 480p, turn deflicker off, and then upscale the shit out of it with my Morph 4K. It's beautiful (to me).

Yea and even then, I use the voice isolator and the deflicker sometimes but those are the only two pro features I’m married to. Used free version for ages.

the Wii is a 240p gaming beast, too! i mostly play emulators on it nowadays. and a boost for GameCube games with Nintendont is appreciated, you can turn off deflicker filters in all games as well.

the nice thing about these authentic dreamcast closeups is that the vertical digital filter the dc does (to deflicker for interlaced modes) is very noticeable

Also yes my editing program does have a "deflicker" effect but it uses Temporal blend which degrades the quality of the footage (and frankly just upsets me) so I'd rather take the undersampling route if possible. Is there a formula I can do to calculate it or something?

Bon j'ai fini de config ma Wii U, patché la vWii pour virer le deflicker (meme is je sais pas si en utilisant des jeux inject ca utilise le patch).
Jvais pouvoir ne PAS y jouer mais ca m'as amusé. Prochaine étape ma switch v1 (faut bien s'occuper hein)

oh yeah, there is something about Xenoblade on Wii. you can turn off deflicker and output original framebuffer, but is it even correct with 4:3? it loses a bit of width in 480i
still a baffling decision to force copy filter on everything if they knew it was going to output to LCDs in progressive
