Swiss vs. Wiikey fusion firmware: Which is the best?

Post by JimmySummer » Mon Aug 19, 2013 1:40 pm

Hello everybody,

I did a lot of research but it is difficult to form an opinion:
Which is the best between Swiss and the Wiikey Fusion firmware?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

For me, the most important point is the number of compatible games.
I believe the Wiikey Fusion offers a better compatibility. Is not it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Wiikey Fusion boots games through the GameCube menu, which should offer 100% boot rate. It uses WBFS which will require a custom formatted file system on your card.

Swiss boots games by itself, and as far as I know, all games should boot apart from maybe Phantasy Star Online Ep 3.

There are some things that regardless of what you use will have issues such as:
Luigis Mansion NTSC (not players choice)
Audio Streaming titles

I was never able to boot NTSC games on my PAL console when using the wkf menu... SWISS on the other hand worked great with the same images... so another plus for Swiss!

The Phantasy Star Online games boot fine, but I can't force them into progressive scan. :(
Hardware: Wii (PAL)
Hardware configuration: System Menu 4.1E, Priiloader
Swiss boot method: Modified Wii Swiss Booter provided by Extrems
