hello I got a problem
the gameboy interface Low Latency works perfect but I dont know how to put the borders from the gameboy player. The frame.tpl file is on the root of my sd card but where can I change the borders ?

It must be in the GBI folder on the root of your SD card. Set --overlay-id=<0-19> to change it.

Hello, sorry for asking but I can't figure out how to launch GBI with custom arguments without going into Swiss. I tried to rename gbi-ll.dol into autoexec.dol but it doesn't load the arguments I specified in gib-ll.cli (but these are loaded correctly if I go into Swiss first).

What are the steps to load gbi-ll.dol with custom arguments without using Swiss?

Code: Select all

copy /b gbi-ll.dol + gbi-ll.cli autoexec.dol

I saw that but I don't know what it means, sorry... Is that a line of code I must paste somewhere?

Open a command prompt and cd to your SD card.

I'll try that, thanks!

That works perfectly, fantastic! Now I literally only need to insert a game and power on the GameCube and it loads automatically into GBI with my preferred settings. Thanks again!

How can I force the gbi.dol to always boot in 480p60?

I can't seem to boot into this video mode whatever I try. I have the Gamecube connected with component cable. Whenever I boot Swiss I have set it to boot to 480p60 and that works just fine. Even if I select the 480p60 scan option in Swiss and then launch GBI it's always in 576p50... It's a PAL Gamecube but in 50hz the game runs slower so that's is not something I would ever want to use.

You need to set the format to NTSC or enable 60 Hz in a GameCube game. And no, it's not running slower.

Thanks for the quick reply! Enabling the NTSC video mode parameter indeed fixed the problem. The SD media launcher disc I have always boots in PAL50 only so I gues that made the default reset to 50hz.

Guess my perception is wrong on the running speed in 576p50 but since I play on a CRT I prefer the faster refresh rate.

Hello,

I got this to work with the Home Bros method. I used the ULL version and it looks great! I'm wondering if it's worth just using the basic version as I do like the border options and I'm using it on CRT so the lag can't be that bad surely?

I was also wondering if the GBA controller link cable works with this? I haven't got one, but if it does work with it I'll definitley look into getting one.

I don't recommend using it on a CRT unless you have YPbPr/RGBHV and can input 120 Hz.

Yes, the program is also provided standalone.

Hi Extrems, I just want to thank you for creating GBI. I registered just to express my thanks and ask you a question.

I'm using GBI ULL over component to my PVM - 20m2U with awesome results. But after about 45 minutes of playing, I'm noticing that the bottom third of the screen experiences some screen tearing and jittering when there is any movement across that portion of the screen. I do not experience this in the first 45 minutes or so of play, but it always creeps up if I play long enough. And the rest of the screen remains unaffected.

It also happens consistently no matter whether I'm playing GBA, GBC, or GB games. Granted, I'm probably using a very old version of GBI at this point. Has this been fixed in a subsequent release?

Use GBI LL with --format=custom

Will that introduce input lag? I'd rather just play with ULL and then reset every 45 minutes if I have to.

Yes, you'll have a frame of lag.

Okay, thanks for confirming.

Is GBI compatible with "SuperCard Mini"?

I don't know, no reason it shouldn't be.

For low latency version:

• Adapted control type C for Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2.
• Added control type D for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
• Added per-field vertical filter control.
• Added PNG 3D LUT.
• Added LUTs by Pokefan531.
• Added LUTs from the 3DS Virtual Console. (thanks SuperrSonic)

Hey Extrems, I just did a small tweaks to the LUTs and shaders just now and posted at Libretro forums. Sorry if it's just updated too soon, but I am glad you are still looking up to my posts on color spaces for those screens. Also, nice for having LUTs on Low Latency version.
Edit: I also have the texture for the GBA without the gamma altering. "GBA-Unaltered_Gamma.png"

No worries, I've updated them now.

Seems like the sites down. Also just curious - have you thought about hosting on Github for version control /etc similar to Swiss?

The repo is private as GBI is closed source. I don't think there's a listing available but you can still download old versions if you know the date (https://files.extremscorner.org/gamecub ... /<yyyymmdd>, if I recall correctly). There's no reason why you'd want to do that though, unless you want to report a regression.
