Sorry, I was probably in pretty bad mood, no offense. Btw. you may be right. Dunno, as I forgot to mention interrupts stuff at first, maybe it's about interrupts setting and not setting NTSC, but it wouldn't hurt.

Hope my solution will make it to SWISS compatibility list, anyone updates this list according to this topic?

Im here to ask something, i got the blood omen 2 but its crashing on the 1st chapter on a place you need to open a gate after the tutorial, ive tried change version and configuration but its the same anyone finished the game on a sd card. BloodRayne ive tested and its not playable when you go to the graveyard will be impossible to play because of audio stutter and lags.

Are you using r240? If you haven't tried it, try it with default settings. If the crash is always in the exact spot, perhaps try it in an emulator or some other boot method to verify the ISO is ok.

im using swiss 0.3 and tried with all older versions includind sd boot but its in the same spot but its ok i will burn on dvd other games are running without dummy files and very well.

Soul_Calibur_2_PROPER_USA_NGC-NOMIS

... had very weird graphics. It's a scene one, but I'll double check whether it did not appeared only once and that it does not also happens with DIOS MIOS.

Very playable:
- Smash Brothers Meele NTSC,
- Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 NTSC fighting games. (only minor hickups in menu/videos and none in gameplay; also no crashes/freezes)

- And Timesplitters 2 NTSC is very playable. minor hickups while cutscenes, otherwise perfect; plus no crashes(freezes)

- wind waker NTSC became very playable. it had crashes with v0.2, if I remember correctly, but these seem to be completly gone with r240. probably also the loading hickups, but it is still playable, even if these happen on the ocean!

- viewtiful joe NTSC. little hickups while loading screen, but other than that stable and no ingame hickups!

- mario kart NTSC, did not play much, but did not freeze

- sonic adventure DX, some hickups while loading, but neiter critical hickups nor freezes

somewhat playable:
- Luigis Mansion NTSC crashes/freezes sometimes (not often!), but other than that is playable. minor hickups while loading, but the game does not load at gaming-critical parts (only going through doors etc.)

- prince of persia: warrior within PAL freezes/crases sometimes. loading/hickups ingame, so could be at fights, did not notice yet so until now

unplayable
- star wars rogue leader: rogue squadron ii NTSC freezes a looooot

- ikaruga NTSC (loop, but seems to be known)

- burnout 2, it was v0.2, but it froze sometimes and also loaded (music) while racing, so hickups continuesly ingame(!) - maybe still somewhat... playable I guess

That was what I was playing...

nox_123, Ikaruga should be fixed in r241 if you could grab that

I think when someone mentions loading hiccups (s)he should specify what medium the game is loaded from. I play from retail discs and I've never noticed hiccups of any kind while using Swiss.

In timesplitters 2 when I defeat the boss on 2nd mission the time portal never appear

which build, what device, could you upload your save by any chance? Is it a clean ISO?

I can play perfect with a clean iso, i was using a ripped one but in coop mode plays perfect but the issue was playing in normal mode

Ah ok, so not an issue with Swiss, just a ripped ISO issue then.

Just tested some games with r249, forced to 480p, hoping that something changed:

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Master Quest: shows the "60Hz only" warning screen, then freezes with an "An error has occurred." error message
• Phantasy Star Online: Episode I & II: boots, but in interlaced mode
• Phantasy Star Online: Episode III: doesn't boot
• Metroid Prime: doesn't boot
• Metroid Prime II: Echoes doesn't boot, and my monitor isn't even getting a signal

why not use the NTSC version of those titles which already natively support 480p???

Additionally BenoitRen, are you running these from SD, DVD, what? Did you try them not forced, did they boot?

Because I don't own them.

I always use retail discs.

No, I haven't. I'll give that a try.

Just tried all of them non-forced. They all work fine, except for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Master Quest, which seems to have the same error.

I've somehow broken Metal Gear Solid with the new read code, this is mostly just a reminder for me to fix it..

Tales of Symphonia - clean ISO
booted from SD slot B
Swiss 0.3 r174

cinematics are slow with choppy audio, Title screen animations and audio are just fine and after starting a new game it gets about a minute or two into the intro video before freezing.

Try the latest nightly build.

Which region is Tales of Symphonia from? I briefly tested the US version with the same revision.

NTSC for the region, and i just tried the latest build r251, cinamatics are still slow with stutters, but the gameplayis just fine except the occasional video and audio stutter. So far ive played about 30 minutes

When r252 is up, please let me know how it goes - Metal Gear Solid appears to be working once again and compatibility should be better in general.

Super Mario Sunshine audio seems slightly broken by newer revisions (including r249 and up). Audio simply stops playing randomly right off the bat or during the first minutes of gameplay. Though I don't feel that's a major issue since it doesn't occur on 0.3-r174 under specific settings as I edited the Compatibility list entry:

Audio doesn't stop playing when using High Level, Enabled interrupts. Game completed with these settings with no issues whatsoever, on SD Card, using 0.3-r174. Audio simply stops playing when using newer Swiss builds.

The same behavior can be observed on 0.3-r174 when interrupts are enabled on High Level patch: Audio dies instantly or a few minutes later.

Swiss 0.3 (rev 254)
Settings: default on everything
Gamecube: PAL 001 GER

GODZILLA: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS MELEE
Status: WORKING (see notes)
Region: Unknown
Notes: Audio ok, Video ok, crashes after every match no matter what gametype (only versus and adventure tested, assume same for all). Playable, but have to reset after every match. Not something I would prioritize, but needs to be addressed one day.

SSX TRICKY
Status: PERFECT
Region: Unknown
Notes: Everything works perfect, no issues/glitches/bugs at all so far.
