Re: GC and HDMI

In terms of functionnality, all are based on GCVideo firmware, which will do the job pretty well, the only difference you'll see is the finish and price for those you'll find on the Chinese market: Bitfunx/Kaico: Pros: full size hdmi connector, metal based digital AV connector, professionnal looking...

Re: Submit Compatibility Issues Here

Hello, as I would probably ever use barely half of the 2043 blocks my main memcard has to offer (due to the 127 max memfiles limit, and the average memfiles size), and the boot forwarder I used to use tend to crash if anything else than SD adapter or memcard is in slot B (ie: Microphone or ethernet ...

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...

What happens if you boot the thing with analog cable only, then plug the gcvideo device (so that you are in interlaced video)?

Re: GameCube Memory Card & SD Gecko Diagrams

I was wondering, as MISO and MOSI are supposed to be common, with all slave devices connected to them in parallel, one might be able to only pick the SP2 CS pin by soldering on the MB, then use every other pin from the SP1 to get an SP2 on a DOL-101. 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.

Re: Any games you prefer the d-pad on?

Most of the GC games I played back in the days utilised the pad for distinct use then the stick, so I never really had the opportunity to compare. Now I have emulators and GBPlayer on my cubes and rather say the opposite: the pad on the gamecube is so "meh" that I use the stick more often ...

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...

Ok, so it's more like: bad idea to overclock it because problems can happen. You have to see it the other way: the CPU can support a said frequency, the question is: what's the cost/benefit ratio of getting slower Ram with higher divider, wether getting faster Ram with lower divider.

It probably is a choice for convenience or maybe optimisation.

Re: Adding zoom to GBISR .cli

Don't know for the CLI, but afterwards, you can rename a copy of GBISR with the dedicated .cli (renamed accordingly), while I'm not sure autoexec "buttons" boot forwarder supports .cli, I always only used it for default boot option.

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.
