1. Nightly Build version: swiss_r342 DOL
2. Hardware: GC PAL-AUS
3. Hardware Configuration: SD Gecko
4. Boot Method: ACTION REPLAY DVD
5. Info: Hangs on a black screen after an ISO is loaded from SWISS. This happens with both the 2gb SD card that i use to boot DOL's and a 16gb SD card that is filled with ISO's. I haven't tried using a disc method yet because i have no gamebits and no DVD's anyway.
I had the problem with old SanDisk 2gb, then I ordered SanDisk Extreme one (32GB) and everything works like a charm.SanDisk Extreme are reliable and verified to work.You must use swap trick of course.

I've tried a selection of most common titles. All clean rips so i don't think it's that.

I don't have any idea behind the technicalities of it, but Pokemon Box (NTSC-U) is still broken, and has been since v174 or so.
But my old copy of Swiss 0.1 (v62) was able to load it just fine.

Just tried swiss r342 out on both my japanese and pal gamecubes. So far things work great.

On the japanese gamecubes (both NTSC rev. 1.0 and 1.1) the memorycard (for jap consoles formated) cannot be read. Something along invalid device inserted.

On the pal gamecube (PAL rev. 1.0) my GC USB Memorycard Adapter which is (1023 blocks) gets detected as following:

r363 posted, new build system is in place so I can build it all automatically now. I'll make a page or something that will list all nightly builds in the coming days/weeks.

What is the current resolution SWISS uses to render it's games? E.g. for 480i: 720x480 or 640x480? I'm wondering because with Nintendont we got the option to switch between 720 and 640 making it more convenient, especially for widescreen games, to use the full native resolution.
E.g. Using 720 screen width with 20XTE 4.05 (Melee mod) it's possible to use the "true widescreen" ingame feature to get proper 16:9 AR.

edit: regarding sf-resolution: Is there any downside (e.g. framerate/refreshrate) to using this instead of progressive resolution?

Autoboot solution has been discovered by andre104623 and works with every sd-card. If I remember correctly a ''lid switch pin'' of the megadrive board need to be connected to ground, and then connected to the other ''lid switch pin''; in short basically ground between the 2 pins when soldering them together.

Here is the thread: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3046&hilit=autoboot. Enjoy!
Dream mod: HI-speed port device utilizing 4:4:4 RGB 32 bit colour, 720p video and variable refresh rate. :shock:
Favourite mod: GC Loader flashed with latest swiss.
Eagerly awaiting a normal, form-factor wise, wireless controller with rumble. :)

1. Nightly Build version:
swiss_r364 dol and wkf

2. Hardware:
Both units: GC NTSC-J

3. Hardware Configuration:
Unit 1: Wasp Via Megadrive V3, BBA, GBP, SD Gecko in slot A, Component Cables, One official controller in the first port, Region Switch
Unit 2: DVD w/ XenoGC, BBA, GBP, SD Gecko in slot A, Component Cables, One official controller in the first port, Region Switch

4. Boot Method:
Unit 1: WKF and SD Gecko
Unit 2: SD Gecko via DVD

5. Info:
From WKF: Boots almost instantly into a DSI Exception
From SD Gecko: A brief wait, may be able to scroll through the SD card a bit, but then an almost instant DSI Exception

My current DVD for Unit 2 is r334.

EDIT: I have tried booting both units without the BBA and there was no DSI exception. Having just the GBP was fine.
EDIT 2: I also tried booting with the BBA installed but no cable plugged in and everything was fine again. I guess it's not handling network initialization well?

I guess issue is the wrong word I meant for games like eternal darkness when the intro comes on I just get crackling instead of the voice speaking

Audio streaming from a drive replacement wont work. You can use an original drive with a megadrive v3 to have working audio streaming.
