downloaded games won't play

bossman247 · 08-29-2009, 09:51 AM

Ok first up, appologies if this is the wrong thread. I am hoping someone can help me. My son has downloaded super mario bro and supermario bro 3 from the Wii shop, but they won't play on our TV. The game freezes and goes dim at the start up screen. Have tried re setting but that doesn't help.

Can anyone advise why this happens. He has downloaded mario kart and mario 64 and these play fine.

I have found that this happens to some virtual console games if you are trying to play through a video receiver outputting through HDMI. Try disabling any upconverting of the video signal or use the component connections.
