black screen on booting swiss

Currently struggling with running swiss from dvd.

I put the swiss disc into the ngc and to check if the dvd is actually burnt as should I go into bios and look at the disc loading. It says Swiss by emukidid etc, but when I press start to load swiss it just stops at a black screen...
This happens both with and without sd gecko.

Any ideas? My WKF parts are still in china, and it takes some time..

Used PAL iso on a PAL gc.

EDIT:

Fixed it somewhat. Took an ISO i already had (ocarina of time multipack) and replaced the dol.
Seems like the iso that came with swiss wouldn't work (even with fstfix).

gctool is a nice tool indeed.

Don't use the NTSC ISO, use a nightly build ISO from megalomaniac.

Probably should've used the nightly iso, but just fyi, I used the pal one ;)
It works now though, just gotta see if I can fix the page size error (probably due to sd being fat and not fat32, who knows?

to further clarify the statement from emu_kidid, do not use the r174 NTSC or NTSC-J iso

I did all my testing on r174 ntsc and it seemed to work fine for me?
