Swiss feature requests

[Cubelover]

Crediars tool is actually a patch of the BC (NMM = No More Memory), which redirects memory card calls to the front SD slot. It's currently very buggy and only works with original discs, but he actually made a front SD loader, but hasn't released it yet.

FAQ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

[Dragoon]

Sorry to combo break this
But I asked a few posts before if you (emu_kidid or infact(cause they probably know it)) could add support for the viperUSB adapter for use with WiiRD
(cause GCNRD hates me, and my my 10M crossover cable (wich i'm going to cut to 1M)).

Sorry to revive an old thread but it just happens to be the right place to mention this......

Was thinking it would be great if there were WBFS support added in to this. the wiikey uses a WBFS formatted memory card and it would be great to be able to manage that card without a PC needed.....

Think on it would ya?

I hope this thread is not too old.

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

next few revisions of Swiss are implementing new settings/config options and IPL/Game Language are configurable (even on NTSC cubes).

[liquitt]

wait, what kind of game language are we talking about now? Oo

[emu_kidid]

like a PAL multi-5 for example which can run in 5 languages but doesn't ask you on boot up - it just looks to the ipl settings

ah okay i see....well, my bad then

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.

I can never set Wii NAND information in Swiss if this is what you're referring to. My suggestion, get a Gamecube

[zoomx]

In Wii many games get the locale information from the Wii setting. In the english Gamecube manual I didn't find any language setting,

Maybe is a region problem?

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

Modifying the SRAM language is what the next Swiss version will do.

[Bigjake52]

NTSC-U cubes were only in english from my understanding.
I have no clue how a cube could be sold in canada then because of the French english laws. Well in quebec at least.
PAL cubes you could change from like English, French,German,Italian, and two more. I forgot what though.


I asume you know this emu_kidid

I also can not play out of languish games on my cube with my xeno and swiss because of the languish problem.

Ok, I'm not a programmer so my idea may be not possible to implement but guess it's ok if I ask.

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.

My tool GeckoTunnel can do ghosts/replays for certain GameCube games (currently only one) over USB Gecko on a Wii. So, if you got a USB Gecko, and someone made a GeckoTunnel script for the game you want to record, and GeckoTunnel added support for GameCube in addition to Wii, this would be doable. Converting to AVI would currently require a video capture card and another GameCube/Wii, but I've heard that Dolphin has USB Gecko emulation, so most likely I could make that work. I definitely plan to get GeckoTunnel working with Swiss so that GameCube users aren't left out.

[alzen]

Nice to hear that! I have only SD Gecko so wouldn't be able to test it over USB; hope SD Gecko will be supported as well soon.

[biolizard89]

The problem with SD Gecko is that it would involve a filesystem driver, which doesn't easily fit into the RAM which GeckoTunnel has. (GeckoTunnel has something like 3KB to fit into.) USB Gecko is basically just a serial port, so it's really low-footprint. I don't have any immediate plans to support SD Gecko, but if emu_kidid or anyone else is able to provide me with an Ocarina C0 code (or just a small ASM snippet) which implements something like fwrite (it would be fine if said snippet was just a branch to some SD Gecko code in the Swiss engine), I'll add it to the to-do list. (Note that the to-do list is already very large, and some of the things on the to-do list are backed by a $200 donation from a user, so those features get higher priority. Also, GeckoTunnel is a research project for my computer science degree, so features relevant to the research end of things also get priority.)

[emu_kidid]

biolizard89, yeah probably won't happen as my todo-list is rather large too

Cool with me. By the way, did you receive my message about code list expansion? I know you're quite busy, but it'd be cool if you tinkered with that when you happen to have some free time. (Looks like a relatively easy modification.) No pressure though.

[emu_kidid]

Yep, I can add the PADReadHook, and I'm still looking at relocating the whole cheat engine to sit at the top of RAM with the cheats there too.

Nice, sounds good!

[alzen]

Just hope will allow your application to work with SD Gecko one day as well. I believe emu has a lot of work so it's normal he has no time; the most important is that he is doing great work with SWISS.

I'd like the capability to load a different .dol file than the main one from compilations. For example, directly loading the The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask .dol file of The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition. Why? To force progressive scan on the game directly as no forcing takes place when you go through the compilation's menu.
