Gamecube DOL green screen
Posted: Sun Sep 14, 2014 1:19 pm
Hi everybody. I'm new on the forum and came here seeking and hoping for some tips or advices.
Here goes:
Some while ago, I bought a new, refourbished Gamecube with a normal Viper modchip in it, that's where the problems begun.
Initially, back in the days, I had bought a Xeno GC, many where then saying it was easy to install and of use, so that's what I did, but somehow, I messed it up (the soldure spread on the memory board, making it useless).
As of for any other consoles, I thought to myself; "Hey! Some great guy made emulators for it!". And so I tried to burn my SEGA/ SNES copies with the required emulators, I tried repeatedly with different techniques, but was yet never been able to get anything to work like on other consoles such as the wii, ps2,ps3, xbox/360. I kept getting a flickering green static screen, or in some cases, sutch as with the n64 emulator, a continuous "loading DOL" message.
I have tried most of the solutions I could find on the web, I think, but none of them worked. One of them implicated a homebrew loader named Swiss, but being merely informed on the subject, I did not venture that far (I don't even know if a SD-loader is required or if it can simply be 'flashed to the modchip with a dvd).
One more thing, just in case, I'm using the cobra 2.1 bios.
Thank you all for your time spent here and your eventual help, I'm all ears to any kind of answer.
