Gameboy Player 240p - What do I need?

Hey guys. I've seen some videos of game captures from the GBP using Swiss to output 240p and the results look fantastic!
I would also like to do the same, but I cannot find any documentation or instruction for doing so. The closest thing I could find was this page:
http://retrorgb.com/gameboyplayer.html

It says very little about HOW to get it working. All it says is that I need an SD Media Launcher. Is that the only thing that I need in order to do this? I'm guessing I just download the Swiss build and load it onto my SD card, put it in my cube with the SDML boot disc, right? I'm sorry if this is explained elsewhere but I have spent a couple hours searching around trying to figure it out. I don't want to drop $30 on a piece of hardware that I can't use or need something else, you know? Thanks

need SDML ????


i hope you did not already buy SDML....but there are many other options available and SDML is the worst one of all...
well SDML is the best method for people who are scared to mod their system...
but considering the price of SDML, there are other hardware mods that can be done for cheaper or same price...

if you have not bought SDML, i would hope you explore the other options available to modify your system to make an informed decision...

I get 240p 60fps progressive from my composite cables no problem.

No i haven't bought the SDML yet. I was waiting to see what I could learn about doing this. I have an NTSC-J GameCube that I want to do a region mod on so that may be an avenue that I would consider. I would love to know about my options here.

You basically need any ability to boot homebrew, once you can, that's enough.

Not at all. You do need one for 480p, but not for 240p. 240p is basically a clever hack of 480i, so it works just fine on RF, composite and RGB SCART. :)

Can I somehow do 240p via component? I load up swiss 0.3 with my Max Drive Pro, but the option to change to 240p isn't there...
