Noted. Thanks for the explanation

Cool.... no impact to me then... i have separate SD cards between my GameCube and Wii U... only use Nintendont to run TriForce games anyway

Also, what's the difference between Reboot and Apploader for In-Game Reset?

Apologies for seeming dumb

Extrems wrote: ↑Thu Jun 26, 2025 5:37 am It flattens a directory tree into a single directory. The default value is to fix the stupid of Nintendont's directory structure if you're coming from that.

OK, so this is mostly something that affects Wii and Wii U users then?

No impact to me if I am using a GC Loader, correct?

What does the Flatten Directory feature do in Swiss?

The value there is */games, does this mean I am supposed to drop the game ISOs into a folder called "games"?

And what's the difference between Reboot and Apploader for In-Game Reset?

Thanks!

For the latest r1712 release, what does "Replace igr.dol solution with Swiss as apploader" mean?

Under the IGR folder I see swiss > patches > apploader.img.

Do I place apploader.img in my SD card and delete igr.dol?

I believe it's only noticeable if you're using a GCVideo HDMI dongle like the Carby or GCHD.

I noticed the resolution changes between cutscenes (i.e. the X-Wings approaching the Death Star, every time you die) and gameplay.

Awesome! Many thanks!

Not sure if this is possible or not. I have been having problems with the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron games when the optimize display for RetroTink 4K option is enabled in Swiss. This is especially apparent in Rogue Squadron II where the display goes haywire. I bet this has something to do with these ...

This guy has been spamming literally every subforum here!
Admins should drop the ban hammer on this dude

One tedious workaround is after you have all the VMCs created in MemCard Pro, you can just remove SD Gecko from slot B and insert your previous memory card, and then use the GameCube OS to copy the game saves

You can toggle between VMCs in the MemCard Pro using your PC or phone or tablet over WiFi

I wonder the probability of finding a good VMU clone for DreamCast. If they still make them... I don't think so. The only Dreamcast components I see on AliExpress these days are clone GDEMU and DCHDMI. AFAIK all clone VMUs of the past only replicate the memory card functionality and did not include...

I had no idea these clones could cause so much trouble. I've been using the same clone since 2008 and I've never had any problems. I only lost my saves because of the bug in Resident Evil 4 and playing the japanese versions that format the memory card. Maybe things were different when you got your ...

I've had two 16MB clone cards and unfortunately the saves get corrupted after 5-6 writes. To be fair, I experience the same thing with PS1 clone cards too.

I also lost a Baten Kaitos save in the virtual memory card in my SD2SP2.

The PS1 MemCard Pro has been indispensable for me since I got it early this year.

Looking forward to having this for the GameCube instead of risking my saves with shoddy Chinese clone memory cards or the virtual memory cards in SD2SP2.

for v0.6r1387, I noticed one of the things added were 'support for PixelFX N64 Game ID standard'

Curious what this is for and how it relates to the GameCube

Stay safe!

Buongiorno!
Welcome to the forum!

How's this?

I thought it looked great on my OLED

@DavidRGZ

The package didn't need any installation. Just opened a Command Prompt window in the bin folder and ran the wimgt encode command as per your post

Still figuring out the best placement of graphics to work around the Swiss UI

Sure. Download this https://szs.wiimm.de/download/szs-v2.27a-r8529-cygwin64.zip install it, reboot pc (program README says you need to restart pc) and then open the .bat file in /bin (don´t bother with all the .exe files you see) and use this command wimgt ENCODE myimage.png -d myoutput.tpl -x TPL ...

Thank you for adding this wallpaper feature. At long last I was able to create a backdrop.tpl (720x480) file and it works fine. Here it is, if someone wants to try it by dropping the .tpl file into /swiss (it's a galaxy). Can point me to a tool to handle a conversion from JPEG or PNG to TPL? I have...

Since there's a line in GitHub stating "Load custom backdrop from /swiss/backdrop.tpl on default device", I am assuming it is to change the background image for Swiss?

I think it will be in the next release since Extrems also commented "Prepare for custom backdrops".

Can't wait for this!

I saw v6.0r1290 was released last week, and one of the lines mentioned the old legacy IGR combo is restored.
Does this mean the new IGR combo of A+Z+Start is no longer valid?

This is definitely great!
There appears to be more Wavebird controllers out there than receivers, so having something like this will greatly help a lot of people!
