There has been reports that NTSC Wii outputs +12VDC all the time on pin 13, instead of +6VDC for 16:9 and +12VDC for 4:3.

                              2.2kΩ           2.2kΩ

2.2k resistor is a good value because it doesn't draw too much current even if loaded with 10k from the SCART, the voltage doesn't fall outside of the spec.
