How to fix Wii Virtual Console "black screen" issue

For:
- Wii (system Version 4.3U)
- component cables for A/V

Problem:
When trying to play downloaded SNES or NES games, the screen goes black and you may eventually be sent back to the home screen. When hitting the "home" button on your controller, you can see the game in the background behind the menu options.

Solution:
Make sure your Wii's screen resolution is set to 480p, not 480i.
- Wii Settings > Screen > TV Resolution > EDTV or HDTV (480p)
