Re: Question about transferring saves to MemcardPro GC

One tedious workaround is after you have all the VMCs created in MemCard Pro, you can just remove SD Gecko from slot B and insert your previous memory card, and then use the GameCube OS to copy the game saves

You can toggle between VMCs in the MemCard Pro using your PC or phone or tablet over WiFi

Re: Anyone excited for the MemCard Pro GC?

I wonder the probability of finding a good VMU clone for DreamCast. If they still make them... I don't think so. The only Dreamcast components I see on AliExpress these days are clone GDEMU and DCHDMI. AFAIK all clone VMUs of the past only replicate the memory card functionality and did not include...

Re: Anyone excited for the MemCard Pro GC?

I had no idea these clones could cause so much trouble. I've been using the same clone since 2008 and I've never had any problems. I only lost my saves because of the bug in Resident Evil 4 and playing the japanese versions that format the memory card. Maybe things were different when you got your ...

Re: Anyone excited for the MemCard Pro GC?

I've had two 16MB clone cards and unfortunately the saves get corrupted after 5-6 writes. To be fair, I experience the same thing with PS1 clone cards too.

I also lost a Baten Kaitos save in the virtual memory card in my SD2SP2.

Anyone excited for the MemCard Pro GC?

https://8bitmods.com/accessories/memcard-pro/

The PS1 MemCard Pro has been indispensable for me since I got it early this year.

Looking forward to having this for the GameCube instead of risking my saves with shoddy Chinese clone memory cards or the virtual memory cards in SD2SP2.

Re: Swiss version 0.6 is released

for v0.6r1387, I noticed one of the things added were 'support for PixelFX N64 Game ID standard'

Curious what this is for and how it relates to the GameCube

@DavidRGZ

The package didn't need any installation. Just opened a Command Prompt window in the bin folder and ran the wimgt encode command as per your post :)

Still figuring out the best placement of graphics to work around the Swiss UI

Re: How to create backdrop.tpl for latest Swiss v0.6r1318 ?

Thank you for adding this wallpaper feature. At long last I was able to create a backdrop.tpl (720x480) file and it works fine. Here it is, if someone wants to try it by dropping the .tpl file into /swiss (it's a galaxy). Can point me to a tool to handle a conversion from JPEG or PNG to TPL? I have...

Re: How to create backdrop.tpl for latest Swiss v0.6r1318 ?

Since there's a line in GitHub stating "Load custom backdrop from /swiss/backdrop.tpl on default device", I am assuming it is to change the background image for Swiss?

I think it will be in the next release since Extrems also commented "Prepare for custom backdrops".

Re: Swiss version 0.6 is released

I saw v6.0r1290 was released last week, and one of the lines mentioned the old legacy IGR combo is restored.
Does this mean the new IGR combo of A+Z+Start is no longer valid?

The only thing thats really left on my wish list is game specific memory cards for the virtual memory card function. That is a game changer.
Indeed!
This has become essential on my PS1, and I hope to see this feature on the GameCube one day.

Yes, the virtual memory cards do have a size limit, as they are emulating the actual physical cards. They are created as 1019 block cards by default.

Re: High pitched audio in Swiss interface only

Which version of Swiss are you using? It can be found on the upper right corner of the screen
How are you loading Swiss? Is it via GCLoader, save game exploit, etc?
Possible to show a video of this?
