Swiss won’t force 480p with GCvideo

Hi, I don’t know if this has been adressed or not but I couldn’t find a topic that stated this issue. The issue I’m having is that whenever I boot my PAL Gamecube with GCvideo HDMI installed (pluto) and boot into SWISS (Wasp Fusion) and try to run my NTSC ISO’s and force them to 480p via the setting...

Re: Panasonic Q DVD region free Mod

The mod is not only adding a pic (with unknow code BTW) and updating the firmware (with an almost impossible to find authoring DVD). You also have to add anther ram chip (with decouplig caps, IIRC) if you want to enable PAL decoding. If you have a look on the ram chips on the third photo you will n...

Re: Custom QSB for Wasp/WKF with DVD drive

It takes some serious soldering to ge this QSB setup to work. The pitch on the Host board is a little bit of so you have to solder the last few pins going to the Filtercap pins at a slight angle. Also took me a long time to figure out the castelation cuts were shorted by the tiniest piece of metal d...

Re: Wasp Fusion stuck on "Int Wiikey Fusion"

So I used dd to make the recovery sd and after some trickery got it to do the recovery on the Wasp and let it reboot on itself. But the wasp still isn’t functioning like it should. For example, the moment the SD card is inserted in the reader and I try to boot my Gamecube it freezes on the GC logo. ...

Re: Wasp Fusion stuck on "Int Wiikey Fusion"

you can use the 1.2 WKF restore iso to revert back to WKF firmware.... make sure you have a pin29 switch installed since there is no autoboot feature after the 1.2 restore has been loaded the initial firmware will not load until it senses pin29 switch....and also keep in mind you "might" ...

Sometimes this doesn’t happen when I insert the SD card just as swiss is about too lauch and keep it pressed in the card reader. Afterwards I c...

For some unknown reason the GameCube detects every Memorycard I connect to it as an object that can not be used. The sa...
