swiss config file

[akira]

I got swiss flashed to my wasp fusion and working fine, but it wont save any settings.

It always starts up with 576P resolution (set on auto in settings) but the screen doenst like it, I need it to be on 480P
also It wont save any config I make for a game.

I have a memorycard in slot A, slot B with a sd card in it, and I can run homebrew and emulators on it

hold L trigger at bootup to force swiss into interlaced mode...

I would love it, if swiss would try to load from and save to a SD Gecko on slot B, if using a WKF, though. I got the same problem, that I sometimes need 480p (no 576p and no interlaced signal) for some displays when using VGA.

Holding down L does nothing for me. still goes to 576P, and then that is not what I have hoped it could do.

Cant swiss startup what is written in swiss.ini? I copied the files to slot B and to the wasp fusion slot, with

#!!Swiss Settings Start!!
Default Device=No
SD/IDE Speed=32MHz
Swiss Video Mode=480p
Enable Debug=No
Force No DVD Drive Mode=No
Hide Unknown file types=No
Stop DVD Motor on startup=No
Enable WiiRD debug=No
#!!Swiss Settings End!!

and still it does 576P

the hold down L was introduced recently, it wouldn't have been in the 0.3 build posted on googlecode downloads. Can you try the latest nightly build? I will check the .ini functionality with that to see if it's broken.

[akira]

I could try that. I have build 258 running at the moment, and I don't know what I did, but when I start the gamecube, it boots instantly to swiss,

When I turn it on the cube logo rolls and then swiss boots, just like you start a game.

Can I flash a newer version without this going away? because it saves me time starting swiss

Old thread, but I have the newest build and my settings always reset, and page 3 isn't possible to change at all.
Could use some help.

Page 3 is game specific settings, it should be hidden from the regular options menu.

The game specific doesn't save either.

Well of course, since wkf is read only.

Hello
I'm adding my case to this thread.
I can't get the swiss config to be saved, neither general config nor game specific.
I use swiss r275, on WKF.
I tried SD Gecko in slot A and B.
i tried the Memory card emulator, and even if i couldn't check if saving was working (i had to turn off before checking, i could see the file was created in the SD card (so, i know that swiss write to my SD card).
I'll have to do more tests, but some tips would help me

EDIT : i forgot to mention that when i set some specific config for a game, and i ask swiss to save them, i have a little screen telling me it's done (can't remember what's is written for now, i'm at my job).

WKF/WASP is a read-only device so swiss cannot save a file to WKF SD slot.


Also when booting from WKF, swiss will not save config file to SDGecko because swiss does not expect a required device or location for a device like SD Gecko to be available..
Hmmmmm.....this gives me an idea....

emu_kidid, remind me about a "symlink" type idea

Thank you !
But if we boot another Swiss from SD Gecko (Swissception from WKF), will it save to the SD card this time ? I will have to try it tomorrow.

[megalomaniac]

at time of testing with swiss_r288:
boot from WKF with SD Gecko in slot = no config file saved to SD card
then in swiss device menu, navigate to SD Gecko and read SD Card = swiss will save config to SD Gecko
now edit config settings as necessary and save...


on next WKF boot swiss config will not be read in gecko slot because swiss does not expect for a device to be there...this means no previous configurations changes will be read and applied at bootup...
in swiss device menu, navigate to SD Gecko slot and swiss will read and apply previous saved configuration settings....


currently, moving the config file to your WKF/WASP SD card will not allow configurations to be applied at bootup...

I wish I could save my config file in the SD slot for playing with settings, then transfer it to the WKF slot for read only

Actually, i've already found a Swiss ini file in my SD card, with the standard configuration for Swiss (so i should have done what you explained)
The problem is for the games, when you want to force some configuration like video output or streaming mute. I don't know how it is coded/written in the Swiss ini (i mean, code syntax). So i can't edit it manually.
But well, thank you, i understand what occurs now
