Re: PAL Gamecube with GCLoader on NTSC CRT

The Pal Gamecube natively outputs RGB signal, in the US, it's the main reason to get one.
Is it that difficult to find a CRT TV with RGB inputs? Is it easier to get one with Component inputs?
RGB cable may be harder to find than a component solution, but cheaper.

Re: How would I find 60hz code address?

I wonder why is there recently so many requests about 60Hz AR codes? :shock: Second, why would you need 60Hz code on an NTSC native game? Third, your GC doesn't need hardware modding as you have a modded Wii (hope this is an RVL-001) to set up a game save exploit, then use SWISS and won't need any A...

Re: R36S

Are guides such as this one not enough?

If not, try to find out what are the emulators, and open the readmes that come along, they are usually quite helpful.

Re: Component to VGA Adapter

If you're stuck with a Wii, there are plenty on Alix, around 50¢ Including shipping, just type "component to VGA". 8-)

If you have a GameCube, get a GCVideo HDMI adapter and an HDMI to VGA adapter for the third or the fourth of the price of the OEM component cable.

Did you put the needed W3D datafiles in the folders?
The homebrew is just the game engine, you have to get the files from an original copy of the game.

Where do you put your SD card?

Some of the older homebrews only works with the SD adapter and card in the slot a, that may just be the problem.

Re: RAM Disk device since Swiss v0.6r1534

The 2 banks are addressed contiguously no matter their size. The Game Boy Player is 16 MiB of expansion ARAM. Yes, so we may be able to add 16MB internally in the GBPlayer to get to the maximum 32MB of the dedicated bank. I know a little about memory adress/data buses mux, still, I can't figure out...

Re: RAM Disk device since Swiss v0.6r1534

32 MiB should cover everything reasonable (i.e. not the factory/service discs) and there isn't really any point going smaller. Does the GBPlayer's memory adressing allocation allow enough area for an integrated ARAM expansion in it? Would it be possible then to use it? Well, in YAGCD, I found that:...

The SoC supports 2 banks of 32 MiB, for 64 MiB in total.
So we can go up to 32MB internal and 32MB at the same time?
What is the minimum size needed to support the bigger patches?

This has been discussed somewhere, but memory can be expanded, hardware-wise, via the opera DS expansion RAM cart or maybe any other third-party one in the GBPlayer.

The SD media launcher may work, but you probably will go on to another way of loading SWISS rapidly. Plus, the µSD card adapter is known for its bad quality.
