Where does this number 678 come from to achieve a PAL 16:9 aspect ratio screen? I want to write similar code for NTSC.

#define VI_MAX_WIDTH_PAL            720
#define VI_MAX_HEIGHT_PAL           574

Looking at video_types.h I calculate 16*574/9 = 1020 for PAL and 16*480/9 = 852 NTSC EDTV. Also TV pixels are non-square. Any ideas? CarstenK 19:28, 6 August 2008 (CEST)

The 678 number was found by experimentation with my Widescreen LCD TV - 678 stretches the 640 pixel wide framebuffer to just touch the edge of my screen. Other people's TVs may vary. It doesn't have anything to do with a 16:9 aspect ratio, you still need to use the GX matrices to squash a 16:9 view into a 4:3 framebuffer. --Pepsiman 14:37, 7 August 2008 (CEST)

Return to Wii Menu w/o health check

Does anyone know the code to return to the Wii Menu like Nintendo channels and games (and now the Homwbrew Channel)? I'm talking about where it shows the shape of the channels and then fades away, and a few seconds later the Wii Menu pops up without going through the health check.
Any help would be appreciated. --Shadow1643 00:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
