Announcing Swiss - The "Swiss Army Knife" of GC software

[WiiPower]

What do you mean now? Will it need a disc in the drive? Or does the GC have to have a drive that could read a disc if one was inserted?

On usb loading for wii games there are similar issues. With recent usb loaders, you don't need a disc in the drive, but you need to have a dvd drive in the wii.

[emu_kidid]

Yes, it all depends how much of the DVD subsystem I patch out. I don't think I'll ever properly support a GC with no drive (disregard what I said earlier) - but I will support one with no disc inserted later on. To support no drive is just too much in my honest opinion - better leave that for the DVD emulator project

[JPnintendo]

JPnintendo, I'd say hold off from it buying an ide-exi. I plan to 100% support Driveless GC's but at the moment it needs a Cube that can at least read that a disc is inserted.

Ok! I m sure you will get a app able to make my Gc work without reading
My GC read the disc, (is spin and make a los of weird sounds) but... in a few secconds it stops. It "detects" the disc... and the laser activates... but... it has no "power" to read the disc. If I want to load something from the ide-exi, i need to load a app from the driver rigth? that is the reason?? sorry for my bad english

You have a Qoob SX, so you can either get a working DVD drive and make a bootable disc, or load an ELF from the BBA.

MMM I think... I trust more your hardware, I ll wait. Here in Argentina is very Difficult to get a BBA, and I preffer "special" harwares designed to work with the homebrew xd. But thanks... I will be with an eye on the project

[emu_kidid]

I will have the SVN up shortly with all the code and an official build for people to test.

Just one or two very small things I want to get in before people start to test it out.

Here's some more progress:

[Cubelover]

Just curious, do you still plan to merge USB-Boot with Swiss?

[emu_kidid]

Yes definitely - but the PC end needs a bit more re-writing.

awesome! Will there be an application for Linux/Mac?

[Burbruee]

Can't wait to try it!
Likely that we get to test it within the next 24 hours? Or later during the week?

[emu_kidid]

I'll be uploading it tonight (12-16hrs away).

[tglaria]

Calculating how much that is

.....
I'll have to wait until tomorrow

I can't get Swiss working on my Wii with my SD Gecko...
This is what i have:

-Wii 4.2E with Wiikey V1
-SD Gecko with a FAT16 formatted 2GB SD Card
-SD Boot 0.4 and swiss on the SD card
-An NGC iso on the SD Card

This is what i did and what worked:
-Loaded the SDLoad.dol from the WiiKey config disc.
-Loaded SD Boot from SDLoad, from my SD Gecko in slot A
-Loaded my NGC iso: it worked!

Then:
-Loaded Swiss from SDLoad
-Get the Select Device menu
-I select: SD Gecko -> Compatible mode -> Slot A
Nothing appears...and i always have the select device menu...
Tried to boot from slot B but it's not better...

What can I do?

Try different SD-Card, if you have.

Using Gamecube with Viper Extreme USB.

I am trying to put the Swiss DOL on the Vipers flash system.
Usually, DOL files need to be patched for the Viper with the dollz3.exe -V parameter.
However the Swiss download contains a file swiss-lz.dol which (going by the -lz) I assume has already been compressed (but without the -v).

The swiss-lz.dol does not want to load and the GC hangs on the "Running DOL file" screen.
I tried to put sdload.dol on the flash and it was also hanging. Only after I have patched/compressed sdload.dol with dollz3 -v, sdload was working.

Running dollz3 on the swizz-lz.dol crashes on my XP machine. I assume that's because I am compressing twice.

Is there any way to un-compress swiss-lz.dol or can someone supply a non-compressed swiss.dol ?

Thanks !

(Another option would be to compile it myself but I I am quite a newcomer in that area.)

[liquitt]

I had the very same problem. I got the uncompressed dol from another member and i still didnt get it to work :/

Also, please take this to the swiss support forum/thread, thanks

[multirotor]

Liquitt,
I think I read around here that you got it working somehow or was that on another non-Viper GC or Wii ?
Thanks !

i posted that? maybe i was drunk...
did i really get this to work...i can't even remember. i'm back home on sunday evening and it might be time to fire up the gamecube again. hasn't been switched on for like 2 weeks...

[multirotor]

finally works for me - it was all about the sd card
so here's my setup and tests:

SanDisk 8GB SD Card Class 4
ViperGC + SDLoad Plugin -> Swiss 0.1R24

all were loaded via Slot B WiiKey SD adapter with video settings set to Auto

[liquitt]

that is something reeeeally different. that was about loading games from sd.

[multirotor]

But I can't even get that to work, so please help if you can.
I currently have no way to load swiss.
Thanks !

[liquitt]

that was my old Setup.
ViperGC with Cobra 2.1 and SDLoad flashed as a plugin.

[Dragoon]

I used sdload (as a viperplugin) to load swiss, but it doesn't work if you want to load a dvd, because swiss can't controll the dvd
maybe we could program a completely new Corbra BIOS with the Viper_dev SDK and add controll of the lid switch

[Naxil]
