I'm counting on a delay. This close and we have zero clear launch titles.

It gives me hope. Nobody is going to miss one composite cable we hack an experimental pal-m to pal50 circuit into.

Circuitry differences, I'm all ears. I already own a component cable to test 50hz component. While yes buying a pal unit instantly gets me pal50, my objective is research on the 50hz mode of ntsc units. I've never used an imported pal or pal-m tv. from what I understand a pal tv is unlikely to accep...

Correcting myself here, according to Extrems, DOL-002 is the exact same hardware as an NTSC DOL-001 unit, but with a different IPL. So PAL-M mode will work fine, as long as the decoder (your TV) supports and detects it. Perhaps. What TVs allow manual override of format standards, by letting you cho...

Thanks. For sure heaps of enlightenment in there.
The other thing I would've needed to reach this conclusion myself, is a device to analyze the signal.

Thanks for the reply. I read that the size limit is 4GB on SD cards for Gamecube, is that not true? Chris No. It's that some older software wasn't updated for larger cards. In practice however, Gamecube lacks any native SD support. It only works when programmed in. (you might've noticed Nintendo's ...

Now I'm more curious. That's a bit different from Extrems' answer. Anyway, how do you configure the video encoder? A useless outcome is still educational in giving the console more exhaustive documentation. On the other hand if had access to such Gamecube technical docs, I'd have been able to learn ...

Streetwalker wrote:The difference is not in frequencies (these are for the entirety of the signal) but in the encoding (format) of the actual video data. Transcoding that in real time would make things even worse than the already disgusting quality of composite.

I don't follow. PAL-M and PAL are both encoded in PAL.

The choice is either NTSC 50 Hz or PAL-M 50 Hz. Interesting, how do you enable that? I wasn't aware of a way of getting NTSC 50 Hz from a gamecube. Why not humor me, and point in the right direction to encode PAL-M 50 Hz into PAL 50 Hz? I may lack soldering ability but I can ogle at diagrams and si...

Man, live a little. The journey is the fun part.
s-video doesn't look promising. It too uses a color subcarrier.

Sorry about that. I meant to say PAL50.

I don't know what 50hz games do on a brazilian gamecube.

It's been said that NTSC Gamecubes use PAL-M at 50hz. Then how practical is a color fix circuit to get PAL50? I don't think I've seen much research on the malformed video signal. DVI/HDMI mods, component cable, and stuff avoid the issue rather than tackle it. *Topic title updated to reflect a more g...

PAL-M at 50hz? No idea about how to deal with that. Definitely not a TV standard...

Pressing start on some xeno gc versions, loads a menu that uses PAL mode. It's unclear why the xeno gc makers never released an NTSC edition of those chips. http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2740&mode=nested&order=0&thold=-1 (NTSC gamecubes display 50hz...

Very few games are sensitive to the encoding. If your modchip patches gamecube games to bypass the region check (which is made by the game), then you're good. Hey. F-Zero GX is hilarious. :lol: A mangled wreck of English, Engrish, Japanese, and missing graphics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuUP...

PAL English Pokemon Ruby is fine on NTSC Pokemon Colosseum. Other PAL languages are unlikely to work.

Playing GameCube games from any region can get messy. There's compatibility issues to watch out for. (mainly the language / character encoding of Japanese games)

Hi everyone... Something in this universe does not want me to play backups. I ordered a replacement laser, it arrived broken. Finally got a working one today.. Installed it and it'll play original games but wont play backups. I tried lowering down the pot from 125 all the way down to 10 and nothing...

Awesome, so without hardware modding to force the GC to bypass the disc check I can't use say a burnt boot disc, only a commercial one? Just to clarify I read on some old topics that the GC didn't read FAT32 filesystem so people could only have 2GB worth of games. Has this limitation been overcome?...

That will work. You need a commercially released boot disc to launch Swiss. (SD Media Launcher, Action Replay, exploitable correct-region game)

A real GameCube needs hardware mods. No system menu exploit found. I'm not familiar with bypassing the drive, but for typical use I'd aim to keep it functional. I believe game compatibility is best from discs. Look into what has comparable features to the currently sold-out megadrive v4. http://www....

the last 3 builds wont boot when flashed to Qoob Pro, which is my only option for swiss

Did you try burning swiss to a disc?

Personal preference and I got mine within 2 days of ordering it. I think the Pluto board looks just fine... Also you don't HAVE to remove the digital port (though I have no idea why you would want to keep it since you will now have hdmi), you could do some cutting around and mount it above the digi...

What do you mean? Could you please be more specific? I bother because finding a CRT which accepts 31kHz and Component is really hard (at least in Belgium, Europe). I find it easier to modify consoles instead (PS2, Or. Xbox, ...) to get them to work on my PC CRT monitor. I could grab a converter lik...

Is there a quick dol loader for Qoob Pro? Something that gets flashed once, then searches for Swiss on an SDgecko on its own?
Makes for less dealing with the finicky USB.

Wow. Sorry for misspelling your name my friend, but I do have more questions about Nintendont that the guide didn't go over with me. You see, I have 3 iso's compiled into one disc, but one of the iso's is the one that needs the audio fixing. How can I choose what game I want to fix or can I not do ...
