Title: Progressive Scan?
Post by: Toad on February 18, 2014, 12:28:48 PM
This isn't about a specific game, but on several separate occasions, when I put a Gamecube disk into the Wii and start up the game, the system will ask me if I want to use "Progressive Scan Mode". It's done it on several Gamecube games, and.. Well, I'm not even sure what it is..

/me blushes


Anyway, what's the difference between progressive scan and.. normal scan?

Not-progressive would be interlaced, which gives you the "TV lines." Basically you'll have a less fuzzy picture. Assuming you're on an HDTV, you'll want it on.
