Obviously, the strobe won't work beyond about 60Hz because of the Wii and your TV's refresh rate. If you set the strobe to go faster than this, all you will see is a black-white blur.

Some people have medical conditions (such as epilepsy) which can be triggered by flashing lights. Please please please do not use this if you know yourself to be suffering from such a condition or are unsure. Please also check with anyone else in the room with you. I cannot be held responsible.

WII STROBE (CHDan09)

Note

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. I cannot be held responsible for any issues that may arise.

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 Stuck Pixel Fixer for GBA, and it may actually unstick some stuck pixels on LCD TVs .

No, 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.
