Action Replay, F-Zero AX and disc swap

Post by MockyLock » Sun Dec 07, 2014 7:57 pm

Hello
'wanted to try this hack this evening.
I have a Action Replay memcard, in slot B, a Action Replay DOL in the WKF SD.
I booted the AR DOL, entered the F-Zero AX code, started everything, it asks me to swap for the disc.
I hit the Lid switch... and got a black screen.
Tried a few time, checked for video format, but no luck.

I remembered that there was a AR folder in the Swiss release, but it's a SDLOADER.BIN
Finally, how do we use AR with WKF ?
Thank you !

Yeah but you have a DVD drive, not me. I have ot do the swap in the WKF mode.

Anyway i tried with my QOOB Cube, successfully.
but the stange thing is that, in order to do the disc swap, i had to un plug the lid switch cable of the QOOB and plug back the original.
Otherwise, i couldn't make the swap where AR ask me to open th elid (it was not detected ven when it was open). Even when i set the Disw Swap mode "On" in the QOOB settings.
I'll have to look further.

AR was designed assuming it always runs from a disc, and loads the game from a disc. You'd need to somehow make its loading routine do otherwise.
