Re: Swiss version 0.6 is released

All you have to do is put SWISS.dol as ipl dol at the root of your sd card, and add the igr file in the right folder. (See about apploader.img earlier in this thread).

Re: Swiss version 0.6 is released

SWISS's version number is displayed in the first screen, check if it's the right version when getting back to SWISS from a game.
You didn't gave us details of the mod so we can't guess if your chip has to be updated with the last version, and which way.

Or the GameCube alternatives of these games, when they exist. I had sega rally back in the days, with the 120x80 re...

Re: Per Game RT4K setting

No need for a per-game setting to adress that, just set the right setting in global as you'll use RT4K for all your games. Unless you play some games on a CRT, and SWRSII on another display with a GCVideo device and RT4K. In short, standard definition CRTs are dumb and just try to output whatever ge...

Re: SD2SP2 2.0 casual chat

Hi!, I've seen your updates, and was wondering about that V2 thing, seeing vaguely it's about interruption connection.

I'd love to know how I can mod my handmade SD2SP2 so it can upgrade to V2, and if it's of any interest to put some sort of V1/V2 switch or something?

Re: I need blank DVDr panda disc

Do you know SWISS can re-load a newer version off an SD card right after boot? So you don't really need an up-to date SWISS disc. Maybe it wasn't possible with older releases. Now if your laser still reads oem discs and you're ok with hardmodding (I assume so, as you already have a Xeno or something...

Re: GameCube Memory Card & SD Gecko Diagrams

Do somebody know if the Int pins are common to bo...

Re: Wii stuffed into a Gamecube case conjecture

While you can trim the MB, you can also patch the FW so you won't need the Wiimote to startup the thing, but it's quite useless as you'll end up loosing digital AV out, GBPlayer connectivity. To beef up the GC, just wait for some people are thinking about adding 16 or 32MB to the system. It may impr...

I chose the Pal version so we have localised langage, and this is only for casual gaming, essentially for my son, and I don't think he would compete ever. He's got bad training, with the TV adding four frames lag.

That is misundertanding that for better reading speed, GC discs are filled from the outside to the inside, so this is kinda "backwards, to some respect, though files might still be read from the inside to the outside, individually, I dunno. Anyways, the discs are spinning just the same as any o...

Re: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GCN/WIIRD/NTSC-U)

Not sure the code has to be modded, especially if it works with real hardware. Dolphin has better get a patch so it behaves closer to whatever it is supposed to emulate.
