Photosensitive warning: This app is potentially dangerous for people with a history of history of seizures or epilepsy. Whilst mal-effects haven't been reported, please be extra cautious and take care.

WiiStrobe is an application that transforms your Wii console and TV into an adjustable strobe light, perfect for holding a disco party in your living room.

With version 0.0.2, the strobe has been fine-tuned for an even faster experience, and a new police siren mode (red and blue) has been added. Get ready to turn up the music and let the strobe light do the rest.

User guide

It's worth noting that the strobe effect will not work beyond a certain point, typically around 60Hz due to the Wii and TV's refresh rate.

If the strobe is set to go faster than this, the result will be a black-white blur instead of a strobe effect.

Caution

Please use caution if you or anyone in the room has a medical condition that can be triggered by flashing lights, such as epilepsy.

Consult with a medical professional if unsure. The author cannot be held responsible for any issues that may arise.

Screen Burn-in

This program appears to do essentially the same thing as Stuck Pixel Fixer for GBA, and it may actually unstick some stuck pixels on LCD TVs .

This app will not cause screen burn-in of any kind. As a matter of fact, since the display is totally uniform, this is probably the LEAST threatening image you could ever display on a CRT as far as burn-in threats go.

Controls

Wiimote:

D-Pad Up/Down - Make strobe faster/slower

D-Pad Left/Right - Switch between colour modes

Home - Return from where you came (Wii Menu or Homebrew Loader)

Media

WII STROBE (CHDan09)

-== Screen Burn-in ==
-Whilst I doubt this would cause any screen burn on TV sets prone to such deterioration, I am uneducated upon the subject and would appreciate the input of someone who is better informed than I am.
-This program appears to do essentially the same thing as [http://www.pineight.com/gba/#stuck Stuck Pixel Fixer for GBA], and it may actually unstick some stuck pixels on LCD TVs .
