Discussion Wii native digital video

[Ekterm]

I thought I ran across some mention of this in a different thread before, but I couldn't find it again. Just wondering about bypassing the AVE chip and converting the digital video signal into DVI or something, like the one gamecube mod.

Where are we on this, how much has been tried?
What are the benefits if this could be done? A little better video quality, more display options?

gcvideo already does that and it can work on the wii as well, otherwise the best option for wii portables will be this once I release it:

Wow as usual Aurelio is way ahead of my wildest dreams. I don't know a lot about all this video stuff, like how that direct drive setup would even work, what should I be reading up on? Does this totally mitigate the need for a controller board?

It's a custom design using an fpga. I haven't released any info about it yet
