Start Swiss, remove all SDGecko/etc completely.
Go to the device menu, move the selection to SD
Press X, set speed to 16MHz (Slow)
Insert SDGecko/etc with SD card in it
Press A

What happens then?

What about loading (and patching) a single DOL from a multi-DOL game disc, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Master Quest?

Master Quest disc works here in its entirety from SDGecko (ok, maybe not the movies).

The problem with loading a specific in-game DOL directly is that it might rely on some other setup data/parameters to be passed to it that I wouldn't know about.

Yes, but 480p won't survive the loading of a game.

Not like I can try anymore anyway, as the loader crashes due to the returning audio streaming bug.

if you do it from SDGecko it does, the games have minimal lag since the bulk of it is loaded at the start anyway.

Wait, what? Master Quest behaves differently when it's on a SD Gecko?

I can write patches for SDGecko/IDE-EXI loaded multi-dol games, then those can be read in place of the original content, thus allowing multi-dol games to work with forced video modes/etc.
