Hi Par --

You'll have to patch the kernel for this. On line 219 of wiifb.c:

https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/arch/evbppc/wii/dev/wiifb.c#219

change -

    sc->sc_format = VI_DCR_FMT_NTSC;

to -

    sc->sc_format = VI_DCR_FMT_PAL;

If I can find some way to detect a PAL vs NTSC console maybe I can use a 
different default in the PAL case. I'll see what I can do.

Take care,
Jared
