Nope. Nothing but the latest version of Swiss (v0.6r1742) and GBI (20241207), both at default settings. I've tried a different SD card too (the original card formatted with exFAT, the alternative with FAT32).

Try this build. I suspect you'll get a stack dump screen, but that's exactly what I need.

It's still just a green screen, I'm afraid.

I tried GBI 20241210 too. I'm also getting a green screen. Not using any custom overlays or special configs - I just launched the normal gbi.dol and pressed Start.

Yes! That one works :D Nice! (I tried gbi.dol and gbisr.dol)
What is different now, if I may ask?

Uh, I just disabled the UART. I don't know why it's hanging on your systems.

Yep—that's working!

My MicroSD card is connected via an SD2SP2. Is that relevant?

I figured out what's happening and it's a complicated problem that won't be easy to address, so I'll just leave it disabled.

I've got another question for which I couldn't find an answer in this thread. When using Gcvideo 3.1 I get an annoying hissing noise when no other sound is being output via advanced DVI. Is that intentional? Can this be disabled other than turning off advanced DVI (only happens in GBI) ?
Furthermore, about control=5...might I ask again why it's not enabled in the standard version? Thanks!

No, and I can only find DC content.

On the gc-forever wiki there's a section to help people choose the best version related to what setup they have:
Datapath VisionAV or VisionRGB? → gbihf-vision.dol+cli or gbisr-vision.dol+cli
RetroTINK-4K? → gbihf-rt4k-hdmi.dol+cli or gbisr-vision.dol+cli
Morph 4K or Open Source Scan Converter (Pro)? → gbihf-ossc.dol+cli or gbihf-ossc+carby.dol+cli
RetroTINK-5X Pro? → gbihf-ossc.dol+cli or gbi-rt5x+carby.dol+cli
XRGB-mini Framemeister? → gbihf-xrgb.dol+cli
Cathode-ray tube computer monitor? → gbihf-direct-vga.dol+cli or gbisr.dol with default settings
Nintendo GameCube Component Video Cable? → gbihf-direct-ypbpr.dol+cli or gbihf.dol with default settings
GCVideo-DVI v3.0 and later? → gbihf-direct-hdmi.dol+cli or gbi.dol with default settings
GCVideo-DVI v2.4d and earlier? → gbisr-direct-hdmi.dol+cli or gbi.dol with default settings
RetroTINK-2X? → gbisr.dol with default settings
Anything* else → gbisr.dol or gbi.dol with default settings
I'm using a GBS control with clock gen, what would be the best option in my case? (i would like to use the High-Fidelity version)

Hi. I've been trying to put a zoom option into GBISR with no luck. Swiss refuses to boot the DOL if I change anything in the CLI.

Using regular GBI looks horrible with the ghosting, GBISR is nice but I don't like how zoomed out it all is. I've seen posts from other members in this thread who has have done this just fine but I can't get it to run :(

I'm using a PAL Gamecube running RGB scart into a standard def run-of-the-mill 16:9 late era CRT

What's the best CLI settings for a setup like this?

I'm not using any of those fancy scalers or anything crazy like that. Just GC piped straight into the tele.

Thanks
