Hello, emukidid and Extrems.
I recently installed a GC Loader PNP in my DOL-001 and tried using Swiss with it. I like it a lot, but found a few very minor things I wanted to change. Primarily, I want the menu to default to 480i, even if a component cable is detected, without the need to add more hardware to save settings.
I was able to alter the source code to my needs and compile an .iso, but then I found that memory cards were no longer recognized after loading a game. This hadn't been an issue with the pre-compiled .iso, so I rolled the source back to commit f144537e7a05fb9e2291fd15fa21042dc8eb0f45 and used that as the basis for my build. Now everything is working.
I didn't step through all of them, but it seems like there is something after that commit that is breaking memory card support. Is this a known issue? For reference, I was using an official Nintendo memory card and a Melee USA rev 2 .iso. Thanks.
Memory cards not working in latest build
Re: Memory cards not working in latest build
Also, what are the differences between \dist\ISO\swiss_r1154(ntsc-u).iso and \dist\GCLoader\boot.iso? I see in the makefile that one is generated with eltorito-u.hdr and the other with eltorito-gcode.hdr, but does this change anything besides region compatibility?
I noticed that the GCLoader version doesn't wait for the startup logo animation, but I prefer to see it for nostalgia's sake. Anything else to watch out for?

I couldn't reproduce this issue using Super Smash Bros. Melee (USA) (En,Ja) (Rev 2).

May be the GCloader new FW version will help you get what you want and prevent the need to bother modifiiing SWISS itself.
By booting through IPL, you'll see the boot sequence before running an iso. Though still not at power on.
