Re: Hi there

Welcome here.
It's true that this generation was the first where we had convincing 3D rendering with appropriate controllers.
There are many games that are incredibly good, and not only Nintendo's in-house franchises.

Re: Hello

Hello and welcome, nice to see such utility as long as things like gci extraction from raw files, or raw files expansion are not supported by GCMM AFAIK.

The fact it is online makes it more universal, as it may not be straightforward for mac users to use windows-dedicated software.

As a long time Mac user, I wouldn't recommend formatting your SD cards with the Mac utility, especially the last ones as they tend to be overwhelminigly full of options where you can f...up the whole formatting if you don't know what you're doing.

Re: The Struggling Emulators (N64, PS1, NEO GEO, MAME)

Retroarch Milestones for me are: 1.0.0.2, 1.9.2, and I have to test the last version to see if the core still has to be loaded twice to work as it is the case from the 1.9.3 on. Don't forget to run RA from the desired scan frequency for the targeted emulator/game already set in SWISS, as RA on GC ca...

Re: The Struggling Emulators (N64, PS1, NEO GEO, MAME)

There are a bunch of arcade games that had been emulated through "official" releases, in the form of arcade games compilations, such as Midway arcade treasures, Namco museum, and some others that I probably don't know about, you may encounter Joust in one of them. :P

Re: From GameCube MiniDVDs to 5.4TB SAS Drives – Storage Madness!

We reach now to 2TB µSD cards, which is way enough space for an entire localised fullset, and over the maximum data throughput the machine can handle. We also have M2 interface option, which still fits within the machine's dimensions. Are you just a newcomer that don't know every mass storage soluti...

Re: FIFA 2002 Save Exploit

Thanks for the videos, your CG Disc reader seems to struggle, it takes sooo long to know what disc is inside. I have never seen that loading screen on any of my GCs (or maybe it doesn't exist on PAL GCs, that have later IPL FW compared to NTSC ones).

Re: Melee Exploit (Home Bros) doesn't work with MemCard Pro

Melee and F-Zero save hacks are among the most cumbersome to use, even though you have an OEM memcard.

Plus, using hacks on memcard pros are much likely to lead to accidentally erase those files.

Re: Convert PAL ISOs to NTSC?

I'm afraid you're looking forward to overcomplexify what you really need to do.

What is your specific setup that requires you to do more than just use the native Pal ISO of a said game that supports 60Hz output anyway?

Re: Ver 4.1 Beta

I'm happy to see it has had an update, as I saw a recent video on YT where it was about the last achievements on it, and I wanted to give it a try to show Pandemonium! to my GF.

I'd love to see Wii64 (and cube 64 too), get bettter at running more games, and with less glitches and slowdowns.

Swapped fields 576i GCVideo HDMI 4K TV

I recently had to buy a new TV set, so I went for a 4k Led TV, then my Pal GCs got swapped fields at bootup (576i) with GCPlug (GCVideo 2.4c or d), while it was right with the previous TV. So I reached the manufacturer's support, but bought a Bitfunx GCVideo HDMI in the meantime, as I plan on fittin...

Re: PAL game on NTSC-J GC doesn't work properly

Digital AV to HDMI devices now are cheaper than getting a PAl GC or a Wii from any region (to get native RGB or Component), plus you will be future-proof with HDMI. That's because it doesn't exist, as per our compatibility list. My bad, after a quick search, I stubled across a random database that s...

Re: PAL game on NTSC-J GC doesn't work properly

I just checked, but it seems MGS TTS natively supports PAL 60, so you should not force 480i, but rather boot the game in 50Hz pressing the B button, then choose 60Hz mode, then it will be okay. Still, with such input options on your monitor, getting an S-VIDEO cable is the least you can do. Check fo...

For the few games that only works in 50Hz and are not available in NTSC version, the way to get it sorted depends on what console and what kind of display you have handy. There is no NTSC 50 "standard", so you have first to forget about using composite (or RF) connexion. On the console sid...

All you have to do is put SWISS.dol as ipl dol at the root of your sd card, and add the igr file in the right folder. (See about apploader.img earlier in this thread).

Re: Swiss version 0.6 is released

SWISS's version number is displayed in the first screen, check if it's the right version when getting back to SWISS from a game.
You didn't gave us details of the mod so we can't guess if your chip has to be updated with the last version, and which way.

No need for a per-game setting to adress that, just set the right setting in global as you'll use RT4K for all your games.
