Configuration
Using Swiss
When loading a .dol file, Swiss first look for a .dcp file. This file contain a limited set of options that can be interactively changed before starting Game Boy Interface.
For a more permanent or advanced configuration, a .cli file can be used. This file contain command-line arguments on separate lines.
A list of options and example configurations can be found in the subpage for each edition.
Using wiiload
Game Boy Interface can be reloaded using its internal wiiload server with command-line arguments passed to the wiiload client.
New overlays can also be uploaded in this way.
Other
The contents of a .cli file can be appended to a .dol file to form a .dol+cli file. The file must end with a blank line due to the hacky nature of this method.
