Jump to search
On the Wii Virtual Console, you can force games to run in 240p. You can do this by setting your console to 480i, then booting the game and pressing the Home button, clicking the Operations Guide, then press and hold A+1+Z until you hear a sound indicating that 240p mode has been enabled for all VC games. If you wish to revert to using 480i for all games, repeat the steps but use the button combo A+2+Z.
The below lists are VC games that support 240p. These lists were originally created using this spreadsheet by Einzelherz. If a game is marked as not supporting 240p, you may be able to hack in support.
