Well is it possible to fix the swapped Cb/Cr in GBI? Otherwise what about 604x374@59.76Hz or 600x376@59.84Hz?

This is making me feel uncomfortable, but I'll oblige.

Is /gbi/default.mb.gz present on the SD card?
Is the link port free?

Also note this feature is disabled by default in the speedrunning edition.

Thanks for adding the HDCustom format! 480x360 and 960x360@59.76Hz work great with the OSSC and the stutter is now every 29 seconds.

I also tried to test hdcustom with 720i and 1080i but those only produced a stack dump screen.

You care for interlaced now? I only did progressive. :(

I am not interested in interlaced but I just tested it to see if it was working.

It's a bit awkward for me to support as I don't have an OSSC.
Thanks

Is it possible to use this to dump Game Boy and Gameboy /GB Color cartridges at all? Will it ever be possible or no due to the hardware switching part?

Impossible because of hardware limitations.

I'm a bit confused about video modes and how to set them... I wanted to try 240p on GCVideo 2.4b but it gives no image at all. 240p works fine in gamecube games if I force it in Swiss.

edit: my gamecube is PAL. by default I get 720x576p50
if I choose 480p60 I get the same
if I set video type to NTSC and then 480p I get 720p486p60

edit2: lol. if I set videotype to HD60 and mode to 480p I get 480x720p60, with odd positining and tearing.



All figures are as reported by GBI OSD, as well as GCVideo OSD under "input".

Would it be possible to get Rumble through the Gamecube Controller when playing GBC games with a build-in Rumble (like Pokémon Pinball)?

If not, could it be added through an future Update?

And also: Is it possible to activate Super Gameboy Enhancements?

No and no. You need an emulator such as Goomba Color.

Too bad... Not even the Super Gameboy Enhancements?

Well, I guess I'll use the GBP mostly for GBA-games, then...

The GBP is a GBA. It can only do what the GBA can do.

Super Gameboy attaches to a SNES.
GB emulators can do some things, but for every feature you need to simultaneously emulate the SNES.

Oohhh, understand. So it wouldn't be possible to emulate an SNES when running the GBI? Would've been an awsome feature...

But GB-games with Rumble have to send some kind of signal, in order to let the Rumble start. Couldn't those signals not be transformed into Gamecube-Rumble? Or would it be possible to do it with a Controller who has Rumble and attaches to the SNES, when having a Super Gameboy-hack or something like that?
I just really want to have the best possible experience, when playing those games on the real hardware (homeconsole)...

Of course it's possible to emulate an SNES, but there's no way to intercept those signals without a GB emulator for GBA. And then you may as well just use mGBA.

I see... But thanks for all the replies! I hope there will be one day a way to play GB-Rumble games on a homeconsole with the controller rumbling instead of the cardridge...

Wait, is there a patch to give GBA games a GBP-Enhancement (Rumble)? If so, would this also work with GBC games that are converted into GBA games through that Goomba Color Emulator? (Just a thought that came up quickly)

You can recompile Goomba Color with Game Boy Player enhancements enabled to enable rumble.

Can the Gamecube emulate a GB and a SNES at the same time, smooth enough to be enjoyable?
