Re: Is aliexpress a good way to obtain SWISS?

SP2 adapter is hidden "inside" but you won't get easy access if you use the GBPlayer, it is limited to micro sized SD cards, and some emulators and homebrews don't support it. I made mine with full size slot and ribbon cable to stick on the console's side. If some emulators and homebrew d...

Re: RGB Scart -> YPbPr RCA + L R Audio adapter?

5 RCA video cables are not RGB, but some kind of YUV signal, usually called "component". Probably you are right here, yet guess component is enough for me. If you don't need two GCs to play simultaneously, you can sell the Jap one for almost the price of a GCPlug. I have only one GC, it i...

Re: Is aliexpress a good way to obtain SWISS?

SWISS is updated to a pace you'll inevitably end up with an outdated version quite fast, plus, they show the r~800and we are now over r~1100. You'd better get an SD card reader (Memcard style or SP2, wether you want to use old homebrews or just ISOs) to load an always up-to date version from it tha...

@Streetwalker: Not really as the main attitude of Nintendon't for me is the possibility to use HID controllers - that's why I want to boot SWISS - to be able to run GC/Wii homebrew and control it with HID controller instead of GC one. I really like GC controllers - best I've ever used; but in HID co...

Re: Goals for Swiss 0.4

Nice! Would be nice to have bootable SWISS iso that runs on nintendon't - just to run homebrew apps with HID controller.

Hope you'll make it :).

btw. does it read SD card from the main Wii's SD card slot?

Re: Goals for Swiss 0.4

Is there any chance that Wii's version of SWISS will allow HID gamepads support the way NINTENDONT does?

As NINTENDONT is open source it should be possible.

NTFS is supported by some of them, and in that case you do not have to split files.
