I followed the guide, and it shows up as a full 1.36gb disc in wbfs manager, even the default disc that's already in there transfers as 1.36gb

No problem, just use the attached tool and add the created file to the "disc" folder.

Just used this little package to make up a Swiss .52 bootable iso. Faked the header with your wiikey header faker (though i had to adjust the max allowable bytes). Works perfect! Thanks for putting this together infact.

I just followed the instructions. It may not work on the WODE because of the header being faked, but here's my .iso I just made.

The WODE is picky with the region setting of gc isos, it must match on two different offsets in the iso. They changed the region stuff in 1.27. (see
here)
So I patched the region of this iso and now it works. I will update the files in the first post in a few minutes to be WODE compatible.
EDIT: files in first post and tutorial in wiki updated.

Thanks for making this infact
This was a trip down memory lane, I used to use mkisofs to make bootable Dreamcast discs back in the day.
Tested on ViperGC cube, will test xeno later today

Sorry to necro this thread, but I just successfully installed XenoGC and tried this installer. Looks like it worked, but I'm stateside and the 50hz isn't playing nice with my TV. How would I go about burning a new disc for NTSC?

Swiss is distributed in multiple region ready to burn ISO files. Or check the video forcing stuff that XenoGC supports
here. If all that fails, what DOL are you using, maybe it's just detecting the video mode badly or is hardcoded to 50Hz?

No problem. Did you know that Swiss can boot an updated version of itself if found on the SD card root as "boot.dol"? That way you'd only have to burn a single disc and just update the files on your SD card.

Yes, I was aware of that, but when I initially started softmodding my GC using Swiss after installing a Xeno modchip, I decided going in that I wanted compartmentalize how I lay out the Swiss boot disc and the SD card: I keep all of my emulators and roms on the SD card and on the Swiss boot disc, it only contains GBI. I have plenty mini DVDs to burn as many Swiss boot discs to my heart's content
