thanks....those notes are still a work in progress...more feedback and testing is still needed to update the information for each title

When I try to start Prince of Persia: Warrior Within with r214, I get a message about audio streaming being set up before an exception occurs. The same thing happens when I mute it. Weird.

restore your wii back to original configuration to delete all the ios, cios, mios, what ever else xos there is....
you seem to be having issues i cannot duplicate on my clean wii..

How would you suggest I do that? My Wii is relatively clean as it is already. I have no CIOS (removed it as I only had to use it to install a homebrew-capable MIOS).

One idea is to temporarily disable Priiloader, I guess.

BenoitRen, the reason this happens is because something is spoofing the disc ID to think that every game you are running is a multi-game disc.

Another user has also suggested this is happening and is also using a Wii Swiss Booter. I'll try to add in a workaround tonight, stay tuned!

It doesn't happen with all games, though, and the ones it happens with seems to vary by revision.

yeah, I can see the issue now.

I disabled Priiloader's region free options (which don't seem to work for Wii games and somehow causes issues for Gamecube games when booted through the Disc Channel), but nothing changed.

Yeah it's not related to that. What happens when you put a disc in AFTER Swiss has booted?

I did that by mistake a week ago, and if I remember correctly, it told me that it couldn't reset the drive.

OK, well that's another issue altogether, I can at least fix the first issue.

try r217 BenoitRen.

Will try it shortly.

Now I'm wondering if I really did use r214 earlier as there's still a swiss-r214.dol file on my SD card. I remember deleting r216 and renaming r214 to swiss.dol. Will check later what I actually used using an MD5 sum or something.

I tried Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Skies of Arcadia Legends. All of them worked. Good job.

Also, thanks to Extrems's work, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which I had tested before, now renders correctly in 480p!

Excellent, try r219, more similar fixes (refreshing/loading of devices)

The revision I tried was r219.

SSX 3 (NTSC) was successfully forced into progressive mode with no problems in the last version titled 'Swiss 0.2'

I can't understand why EA had the feature in their early games, but not the later ones... Weird.

Has anyone else ever tried to force progressive scan on Mega Man X Collection? It works, but the games (and the loading screens) only use the first 224/240 lines.

While it's playable, it sure looks weird. I'm guessing this is a side effect of the game expecting the television to stretch the 224/240 lines to the rest of the screen. It's the same trick the old consoles used to fake progressive scan.

Actually, MMX Collection behaves pretty weirdly. MMX3 always ends up with corrupted colors, ie, megaman being orange, for me. I know the wiki says "for PAL consoles using RGB, the colour pallet is swapped)" but my console isn't even PAL, and I'm not using RGB either. It isn't a problem though because I can just go and play X3 on Snes9X GX if I really wanna play it.

It never worked, only on WKF as reported. Actually I'll just edit the wiki entry since it's misleading.

The version of Mega Man X3 on Mega Man X Collection is the PlayStation version, though. I haven't tried that game yet, but I will and I'll let you know how it went.

---------------------------------
Megaman X Collection
---------------------------------

I tried Megaman X 3 and it was slowed down - after changing patch type to High Megaman X, Megaman X 3, Megaman X4, Megaman X5 - they play at full speed; only X4 has broken palette. Megaman X2, and X6 are slowed down as X3 was before setting patch type to High and also has broken palette.

Movies in X3 has some graphical/sound hickups, like some movies in the collection but it doesn't bother me.

...but after you force game video mode to NTSC:

- Megaman X2, X4, and X6 has correct pallete - also Megaman X2 and X6 aren't slowed down anymore.

So you can play every game(didn't check the hidden one, there's one game field on the selection screen that's empty - probably hidden game) with perfect speed and correct palette!

You can add to swiss compabitility list that it needs high patch level + forced NTSC. Sorry for late edition but guess you also need to enable interrupts!

Played on Xeno chipped PAL gamecube using RGB cable.

---------------------------------
Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO
---------------------------------

Works, but with chickups - it doesn't freeze but it's not so comfortable - still I guess during the fight everything is rather ok, most problematic are menus and so on.

---------------------------------
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
---------------------------------

Dunno why, using high level patch type caused my game to freeze, needed to reboot. On the other hand when I switched to low patch level I played for about 2 hours without freeze(not because it freezed after 2hrs - I just stopped playing).

Mega Man X Collection is an NTSC game, so you shouldn't need to force NTSC. How were you trying to run it?

Hmm, dunno what do you mean. You can select game video mode as it is - default. But I just found that selecting NTSC(forcing it as for me) does the job. What's the problem? If you don't need it don't use my solution.

EDIT:
I run it from SD card it that's what you were asking for.


Btw. new title - Midway Arcade Treasures 2

It starts great! Movie is full speed, no sound lags also. Still, then you try to load the game(from the SD card) it suggesting looking into gamecube booklet - tries about 2 games, guess all of them aren't playable from the SD card.

SWISS patched a couple of .dol files(all games I guess) before starting the game. Is there any hope it'll get fixed so this title is playable from the SD card?

No need to get so defensive. I was honestly curious as forcing something to its native video mode is weird and unnecessary.
