Q: Does this only work with original games?

A: NMM only works with original discs, or anything the drive accepts
If you have a drivechip installed a copy would work aswell

It is possible to add the ability to launch games in other languages than standard english?

no this thread is still fine for this purpose.
concerning your question: swiss can't change a game's locale. the game itself has to be in that language. and if it is, you can easily change it yourself in a menu or something.
swiss can't do anything there

zoomx wrote:Some people wrote in an italian forum that the game they own has italian language but if they start it with Swiss they get only english. That problem was present in the older SDboot too. They are sure that the game has italian because they tested it on Dolphin, where you can set the console language.

I don't own a Gamecube so I don't know if there is a configuration like in the Wii were you set the language so most games starts and use that language, because it reads some setting somewere in the Wii memory. Only few of them require to choose a language when starting. Maybe on Gamecube is different.

Maybe is a region problem?

I suggested in the italian forum to use SRAM modifier and they told me that it works!

You know there're people doing versus races at various games. I mean when people play single player modes, talk on Skype or others programs like that and than combine gameplays in one video to see who was the fastest in reaching the end of race.

Guess all players need to use the same emulator in such races; is it possible for SWISS to record demos on the SD card that are compatible with Dolphin for example? So players can play on real hardware and than play movies on Dolphin and convert them to AVI?

Guess it's not possible, or really hard so it probably won't get implemented. It was just an idea, personally I'm not doing runs in any GC games, only SMB3 on NES so far(yeah, I asked the author of FCEUgx can he import the movie recording option but he didn't answer, it'll be really useful for me). Still, implementing movie recording to NES emulator is I guess easier, same emu on windows, this feature is already on Windows FCEUX so guess porting it won't be so hard for a programmer; and implementing demos recording for SWISS is much harder. Mainly because SWISS is not Dolphin or any other GC emulator so it needs new code and so on and so on.

So it's just my idea, maybe someone will like it, maybe someone will not; I won't really use it if it's in SWISS so will wait what other members say about it.
