Jumpy Virtual Console games

I have my Wii connected to my tv using component cables. I have several virtual console games downloaded. The N64 games work perfectly, but the games from every other system flicker from side to side so as to make them unplayable. This problem goes away when I switch the Wii to regular red, white, and yellow cables... Any ideas on what's happening?

The problem hasnt been addressed. Yet, i think you dont have to switch cables every time though. You can just change your resolution in the wii options.

It could just be because they use the same code as games that used different TV inputs

Also does anyone know what Error Code 050230 means

Hi, I was wondering how you tell if you are connected. I am using wifi and am able to get connected but I know that on my pcs, my wireless drops alot. Is there a way to know if my wii is maintaining a connection? Will it auto-reconnect if the connection drops?
Thanks

Hi
I currently have a wireless connection setup but would like to setup a wired one since I have an available data port right behind where my Wii sits. I bought a Trendnet USB 10/100 lan adapter to use this for a faster connection. Should this device just be plug and play with the Wii?

Thanks in advance!

the only way ive noticed if im still connected is if i can go and try to send a message in the wii message board. no it doesnt reconnect if the connection drops.

Router problems?

I currently have an Arris TM502G modem that is hooked up through Comcast for both internet and their phone service. I cannot get my Wii online at all. I am also running Windows Vista. Can anyone help me get online? I can't figure it out. I'm not very good with computers.
Thanks!

Wii Question

I just signed on to the wireless internet. My question is how do I get other wii's to visit my system, do I have to add a friend? According to the system they just are suppose to simply show up.

I wasn't able to get online with the LAN adapter but I was able to get online with the WI-FI adapter even though Nintendo said it wouldn't work with Windows Vista. So now both my Wii and DS are online and working great!
