Yes. Before I did this all I thought was line noise from the mains.

I'll try to do this, but it sounds scary.

I tried both component and composite and have the same effect.

Too bad nope.

I noticed that halogen lighting does not affect the Wii as much as fluorescent lighting. Only the track of halogen lights directly above the Wii causes it to flicker, and briefer than what the fluorescent does. Another track of halogen 6 feet away does not affect the Wii at all. But pretty much all the fluorescent in the whole apartment does it.
