Just an update to report that I finally had a picoboot installed and now everything is perfect as I don't need the Datel disc nor the memory card adapter anymore, Swiss boots directly from SP2 and I can use my original discs without issue, very happy with it!

No problem with US and EUR saves. It's lust that you can't keep the save and exploit together on the same card for a said game.

Ah I see, I'll use a card just for the exploit then to avoid confusion, thanks.

Thanks a lot for the explanation steps.

As you have three memcards for each console region

For now I only use a different memcards for Japan but I use the same for US and PAL games, are there potential issues? I though it was a problem with japanese characters only.

After more research on the subject it appears the ideal solution I want (playing my OG discs through Swiss without swap) requires an IPL replacement like Hyperboot - especially through SD2SP2 to free both memory cards slots - but it seems there's no availability at all for any model of IPL solution ...

Thanks a lot for the answers. TBH using the Datel disc to boot Swiss and having to swap discs is already a bit of a pain so adding a game + another memory card swap in the boot loop annoys me a little.. I think I'll try the laser boost for now, and if it dies I'm ready to replace the lens if that's ...

Hello there, I lurked for a long time on this forum but here I am with my first post! I have a PAL NGC since its release and it's still part of my retro setup (I even wrote a piece about it a few weeks ago), and sadly I'm starting to encounter a boot issue with it I would like some help to diagnose....
