Re: "Parental lock" on Swiss?

Maybe manually lock the settings file as read only by hand on a computer?

Re: In dilly of a pickle if continue boot Swiss via disc

Yes, Picoboot can use the SD2SP2 (You'll still need SD Gecko for some older homebrews.
Anyways, you can get the Picoboot installed, it may be wiser. ;) (And maybe rip off the Xeno in the same round.)
Everything can get along, each one has its own slot. 8-)

Re: In dilly of a pickle if continue boot Swiss via disc

Yes! Lucky you are, there is now picoboot, if you still don't want to set up a game exploit. (you can run GCMM on a Wii through letterbomb exploit to set this up)

Burning discs and full size DVD cases are techniques from another era, you can't seriously go that way in 2023…

Re: Gamecube freezes at menu

You'd better try to boot a game from power on, and try to solve this issue before trying to install a chip.

You may have added issues to the case.

Re: Audio drift with GCHD ?

Isn't this problem more TV set related? I have a poor quality clone, maybe poorer than Bitfunx's, and never noticed such audio issue, although I'm on v2.4 FW. No need to bash poor quality gear when it does the job. My SD2SP2 is made of trashpicked materials, and I never had any issue, apart from get...

Re: How did GameCube render GBA video and audio?

I do too, but you have to choose something beefed enough to handle data flow from and to GBPlayer, from controllers (SNES/BT/SWitch), to HDMI with zoom and all the display enhancements… There used to be a time where such FPGAS where too expensive compared to GC or GBA hardware, they are becoming mor...

Re: How did GameCube render GBA video and audio?

You may find the GBA display specs around, and comparing to the GC's High speed port (YAGCD is the key word to find about it), you may end up finding that it has wayy enough bus width and throughput to transfer all those datas from GBPlayer hardware to GC. If the GBPlayer is really the full featured...

Re: Shadow the Hedgehog Inverted C-Stick Look Controls

Isn't there a homebrew menu item to forward to Swiss around there?

I think I have seen something like that on github, although I didn't manage to test it, as my Wii isn't FW modded, and it can't be run straight from the letterbomb exploit.

Only if the SD2SP2 setup is known to work with another card.

Re: Swiss and gamecube Microphone

Configuration file save location actually is a setting itself, so you can set it to SP2. :P

Strange to see such a behavior in widescreen mode, it's a 16:9 setting in the game, or did you set it via SWISS?

Re: Swiss and gamecube Microphone

It's essentially straight wiring, you only have to choose the way you can access the µSD, side slot is appreciable if you have a GBPlayer, IMHO. ;)

Some dolaunchers don't support the Microphone in their last revision, and may hang at boot, so you need to plug it only when SWISS is already launched.

Re: Strange Vertical lines with the Gamecube hdmi

Do you mean lines like on the bridge in Twilight Princess's intro? Nothing we can do about it. Or at least I still wonder how.

It can also be caused by alpha blending and/or picture stretching, try alpha blending disable and vertical resolution auto or 1:1.

Doom ports usually don't come with WADs included, for copyright reasons. So you have to dig around for them and find the way to get them found by the game engine.
