I'm afraid your CRT is violating standards then.

See https://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.p ... eo_scaling for zooming.
Uhm that's actually possible, the big one is not really a good CRT, i will test a smaller better one that never gave me problems before, so it means that normally it's impossible to get the wrong aspect using default settings on the speedrun version, right ?

Also i see an interlace and non interlace option, given that i'm playing on a CRT i should use interlaced, right ? thank you for pointing me toward the right direction i thought that the same zoom was used for both GBA\GB.

Everything worked perfectly, thank you extrems but i will probably revert to the default setting, the loss of picture is not really that worth it for a slight zoom, i would like to choose the same overlay as the one used for the original game boy player, is that possible with the default speedrun ?

Of course, just make sure /gbi/frame-srgb.tpl.gz from the extras is present on the SD card.

Oh so it's possible only through SD ? i'm using the hack+memory card method, just in case how should i set up the CLI file for the overlay (is it the same for all versions ?) ?

It's enabled by default and it picks the frame you had selected in the Game Boy Player Start-up Disc.

Ok since connecting the wii etc. is a pain every time i need to upload the file on the MC let me reiterate.

The overlay is already enabled by default in all GBI version, but it requires to have the extra frame file (directly the GZ or the TPL file ?) on the SD root (please tell me if i can do this even on a GC card)

This isn't currently possible with just a memory card. You place the .tpl.gz file as-is in the GBI folder on root.

Well i guessed it, i think in the end i will buy one of those memory cards with an SD port in it (https://www.ebay.it/itm/SD-gecko-adapta ... Sw0NtbZKtG), i can use those in conjunction with a game hack right ?

Yes, Home Bros. can also load boot.dol from it rather than from a memory card.

Only Home Bros. can do this. Just keep doing it as usual.

Ok, thank you for all the help, hopefully some other soul wandering in search for help will end up seeing this.

With the SD card can i also launch swiss and select GBI from there or is that for Home Bros. only ?

Both Swiss and GBI can be put on a memory card, no SD card needed.

But i can't select which app will start first (or can i ?) i would like to select GBI from swiss and have the menu, at least before i take the SD.

You simply put Swiss as boot.dol and GBISR as gbisr.dol. Use dol2gci to get the desired filenames.

Excellent, so i need to use those commands:

dol2gci swiss.dol boot.gci

dol2gci gbisr.dol gbisr.gci

Then i put the two GCI files on the MC and swiss will start first ?
