Hey quick question. So I recently got the wind waker exploit on the memory card to load up either Swiss, or Gameboy interface individually. Is there a way I can load up swiss first to edit the settings, THEN load up the GBI in the same memory card?

Put Swiss as boot.gci on your memory card then put GBI.dol and GBI.dcp on there too via Swiss. You will need an SD adapter or some storage medium Swiss can read from.

I'm very sorry to ask such a silly question, I'm sure it has been answered here before, but the thread is too big at this point to go searching;

Do i needed a modded GC, or just the SD adapter for this to work?

You don't necessarily have to mod your gamecube. You can use SD media launcher software, or you can use save exploits from certain games to load up the software. If I remember correctly, those games include Super Smash Bros Melee and Wind Waker.

Hello, I am using Swiss to load gbi ll and adjusting the settings before loading the dol. I choose the type c control option and 240p 60 option. I make sure the boxes are ticked before pressing start, but the settings do not save for the next time.

Is there a way to keep these settings?

Thanks

[Extrems]

Use a .cli file, and 240p60 is the default.

Hi Extrems, are there still plans to reduce the sound latency on GBI?

[Extrems]

Yes, it'll be in a rewritten GBI ULL.

Use a .cli file, and 240p60 is the default.

Hello, thank you for responding.

I'm not 100% sure what to paste into the notepad document if I want it to load with the type 3 controller setting every time.

I see on the front page is this "--control=<0-3>
Set controller scheme. (default: sram)"

Do I simply copy that into a .cli text document and put 3 in between the <>?

thanks again.

Code: Select all

--control=3

• Added DK Bongos support.
• Improved Game Boy Player driver.

This should fix the instability seen under certain circumstances.

Hey guys, I've been working on installing the Xen8 chip in my Gamecube and finally got it working (at least the leds on the chip show that it is functioning correctly). I've also adjusted my POT to about 194 ohms. I've burned a copy of Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes onto a Ritek Ridata -R mini disc just to test the chip, and no matter what I can seem to do, the Cube will not read the disc. I burned a 1.3gb ISO of the game to a 1.4gb disc. I burned it at 1x speed using Imgburn just on my laptop. Could it be my laptop's burner? I've tried tweaking the POT to all kinds of numbers, even swapped out my laser assembly haha! I really just don't know what else to do, and I really want to get Gameboy Interface working on my GC. Whoever can point me in the right direction, it would reeeeeally be appreciated.

And also, someone please explain to me how to create my own burnable ISO of the GB Interface for each time Extrems releases a new version. I have the ISO maker program (don't remember the name off-hand), but kind of clueless there too. Thanks! I'm wanting to make just a bottable disc with GB Interface. And which version should I go with? Regular, LL, or ULL?

RetroRGB has a tutorial on making a bootable iso. It's much easier to boot a homebrew disc than a backup (much less data to read in order to boot). If the MGS disc shows up in the menu, you're good.

Hi! One question.

What command line i need make for a GBI.GCI file with colors of GBI-LL? I wanna test Game Boy Interface with the colors of Low Lattency version. If possible all lines needed.

Thanks again!

I'm at a loss on how to make overlays work. I've read through the thread, but I still can't get them working. I'm just using swiss with all the gbi files on the disc with swiss.

A few things that I'm unclear on:

- The OP mentions putting the gzipped .tpl files in a 'gbi' folder. The downloads come with a 'GBI' folder. Should we be worried about case sensitivity?
- A few people mention in the thread 'frame.tpl'. Should we extract the .tpl files, or is .gz fine?
- There are mention of there being 20 overlays, but the .dcp indicates only 8.

Right now I've got gzipped and non-gzipped frame-srgb.tpl and frame.tpl in 1) the root of my .iso 2) in a 'GBI' folder and 3) in a 'gbi' folder, yet I can't get any overlays to work with gbi-ll.

It's case insensitive.

The default path is GZipped.

There are mention of there being 20 overlays, but the .dcp indicates only 8.

This is a limitation of the .dcp format.

Because it only work with an SD card.

Thanks again, i like this cgi:
--filter=normalnx
--dither=threshold
--matrix=gba
--input-gamma=1.
--output-gamma=1.
--contrast=1.

Works great!

[Extrems]

--filter=normalnx
--dither=threshold
--matrix=gba
--contrast=1.

This is redundant.

--matrix=gba
--input-gamma=1.
--output-gamma=1.

Don't use those settings together!

SD card adapter is on its way!

Next question: are there any plans to add a key combo for switching zoom levels in gbi-ll? Or maybe set default zoom levels based on if it's a GB/GBC game or GBA game (I have no idea if this is possible).

Also, I seem to be getting weird corruption in gbi-ll when '--scaler' is set to anything other than 'nearest':

No, this is considered an expert setting.

Or maybe set default zoom levels based on if it's a GB/GBC game or GBA game (I have no idea if this is possible).

Once a proper configuration system is in place.

Turns out this happen if you don't have a 3D LUT, oops.

hum... ok.. i'm not expert

i using this cgi now and works great for me:
--filter=normalnx
--dither=threshold
--matrix=identity
--input-gamma=1.
--output-gamma=1.
--contrast=1.

anything is wrong in this cgi?

[Extrems]

--filter=normalnx
--dither=threshold
--contrast=1.

These aren't necessary as they're the defaults.
