Wii Component Cable and Virtual Console issues.

Was the problem of a black screen ever resolved when playing old Virtual Console games (NES etc) through a Component Cable?

Cheers in advance.

I think its only for certain component cables. I had the official one and had no problems at all while a friend of mine has unofficial cables and had the problems.

I doubt the cable would make any difference being official or not probably down to game software updates.

No, but you know about the temp fix though that doesn't require changing cables?

If not, just PM jazzem because I think he knows how to do it off by heart

This may help:

The following fix should help users who do have problems with some virtual console games for the Nintendo Wii that display only a black screen after starting them while the sound remains normal. This does not work in all occasions but should work if you get the Wii menu when you press Home and works only for games that received an update for the interlaced mode.

Try out the following to see if this fixes the issue. Start the game normally until you see the black screen. Connect the Nunchuck to the Wiimote and press Home to see the menu options. Now press A + 2 + Z together which should result in a short “ping-like” sound.

This should have activated the interlaced mode. Leave the menu and you should see the normal game screen and not the black screen anymore. To change the mode again press A + 1 + Z using the same method as above.

This was tested on various Wii systems with component cables and was found on the Wii Errors website.
