You guys know the panda discs everywhere that come with sd2sp2 chips and the like, well so far all the other branded dvds will not read on my gamecube likely due to aged capacitors, I tried laser adjustment and put it back on factory setting and the panda disc reads perfectly. Its the Only burned dvd that my gamecube read and I really wanna update swiss before I try to renew the capacitors or go down that route. A nice seller gave me a burned vintage dvd and my gamecube didnt read that either, Im figuring its the colored back that is making it more difficult while the panda disc is just like gamecube oem discs.

I wana play super mario eclipse and I get black screen on rev1400 and Im trying to get rev1712 at the time of this post

Right, I never asked; Does anyone know where I can find these panda discs blank, I cant trust the sellers to give me the latest version.

Do you know SWISS can re-load a newer version off an SD card right after boot? So you don't really need an up-to date SWISS disc. Maybe it wasn't possible with older releases.
Now if your laser still reads oem discs and you're ok with hardmodding (I assume so, as you already have a Xeno or something), why not go for a PicoBoot?

panda disc? just gekkoboot load swiss from sd card in whatever slot suits you
