HELP! Picoboot don't show image on games with digital output.

Post by EvertonSA » Tue Sep 10, 2024 2:59 am

Hi everyone! I'm in trouble with my Gamecube and my picoboot, and I don't no what I need to do.

I did the picboot modification and everything run like a charm with analog output, but recently I bought a Bitfunx digital to HDMI adapter and saw this issue. When I try to use the digital output, anything image show on screen when I select a game to play is black and only sound is normal.

The Swiss boot normally, but issue occurs only I select the game. I don't know if I need to do some configuration on swiss, because I using the 5v of controller board like described in a issue report of picoboot github (link below). Anyone has any Idea what I need to do or I can try?

Have you tried it with a different TV? Maybe your TV does not support particular resolution.

What happens if you boot the thing with analog cable only, then plug the gcvideo device (so that you are in interlaced video)?
