XenoGC and MultiGames Disks?

Post by szczuru » Sun Mar 09, 2014 9:18 pm

Hi,

Is there any proper way to create multi games disk for XenoGC? I've Created an ISO using GCMUtility but when I want to boot this disk - GC doesn 't recognize it (even when I hold START during GC startup).

Your chip is probably the older version with no multi disc support. Check the color of the led to know that. Also you may want to update it to the latest firmware.

I have Green/Red led BUT when I hold START during game boot (not this multigames disk) it shows "XenoShell" (in PAL50 ;) ).

szczuru, why are you creating these? create a GCOS multigame disc or use the one you just created in Swiss.

Sorry for noob question but how create GCOS multigame? To create this one I've used GCMUtility 0.5.
or use the one you just created in Swiss.
Hmm maybe something went wrong during ISO creation process or burning? 'cause Swiss (r256) doesn't regocnize this disk :(

GCOS Multi-game discs are self bootable, they may have issues with audio streaming games (I'm no longer updating GCOS so tough luck :P)

Ok, I've remade disk using GCOS Multi-Game ISO Creator (with 3 games: Mario Kart, Ikaruga, Wario World) and it partially works...

Disk is booting into GCSO, I can choose game but after choosing video output black screen appears. In every game I've choose GCOS yells the audio need to be enabled (or something like that).

BUT I didn't give up. I've tried to boot this disk via Swiss (idk if swiss suppports MultiDisk Games) = Swiss error appear (lot of codes on screen :P )
Second attempt - I've booted GCOS 1.5 from SD and tried to boot this disk = same bahaviour like via direct booting from GC Bios.
3rd attempt - I've booted GCOS 1.5 from SD, launched disk explorer and launched GCOS from this multiDVD (bootldr.dol) and now:

-Ikaruga still doesn't work (GCOS yells about audio)
-Wario World doen't work (GCOS yells about audio)
-Mario Kart work (GCOS doesn't yells about audio).

I know some games aren't compatible with MultiGame method but can somebody tell me why Mario Kart isn't working via direct booting from GC Bios?

Swiss should support the multidisk just fine, what version of Swiss are you using?
