Swiss and SD Gecko

Post by Chris230291 » Fri Dec 09, 2016 6:41 pm

Hi. I have successfully burned Swiss to a DVD and it boots on my console. I took my SD card (FAT 32) and put an ISO and a GCM file at the root. When I select the SD option in Swiss it just flashes and doesn't work.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

Did you select the correct memorycard port? When you press X, if I remember correctly, you can change the Port from A to B and back. You need to select the correct port for the SD Gecko option.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I did that. I also changed the speed, or whatever the other option was called. The only files on my SD card are the games, nothing else. Think my swiss is r337? 0.4?

Perhaps there is more to it than simply hitting "B" once it's loaded, then hitting the eject symbol and selecting the SD card?

Thanks,
Chris

Maybe it's the swiss version.

Like you said. When it's loaded, you press B, select the eject button, hit A, select the SD Gecko and hit A again.

That's how it looks for me and it works normaly. There is nothing more, that needs to be done. Is your SD card adapter selfmade or a bought one? Could you actually test, that the adapter works without issues?

This is what I see when Swiss loads. But when I select the SD card nothing happens, the rectangle where I select SD card, DVD etc flashes away for a second, then comes back.
