Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Gamecube users can use Swiss which is now correcting this, though people using GCVideo on Wii are screwed for now. Is there a way to run Swiss on Wii? Well, that would solve Gamecube games (maybe can be done with Nintendont too), but Wii content will still have this problem.Lawfer wrote:Thank you, so no fixes for the chroma issue thing then?Unseen wrote:One of the original plans was to autodetect Smash based on a checksum of the title screen and turn on a special a high-latency mode when it is detected.

There is. That's originally how I got involved with the project, back when 576p was the new thing.fernan1234 wrote:Is there a way to run Swiss on Wii? Well, that would solve Gamecube games (maybe can be done with Nintendont too), but Wii content will still have this problem.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Nice. Is it for GC discs only, or is there a way to use Swiss on Wii in combination with loading disc images through Nintendont or another image loader? I'd love to use the 960i mode.Extrems wrote:There is. That's originally how I got involved with the project, back when 576p was the new thing.fernan1234 wrote:Is there a way to run Swiss on Wii?

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
You can't run any homebrew through Nintendont, it's all based on SDK patches.
You usually use a cMIOS and a special loader, but you can also use most of the same methods for unmodified GameCubes.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
That's too bad that it would involve burning discs. I was just posting in another thread about how I hate dealing with optical media. 960i + image backups would be the ideal. Maybe some day it can happen.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Huh? Burning discs? Swiss doesn't even support DVD-R's on Wii yet.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Does your Wii even support DVD-R? From what I am reading only early Wiis can read DVD-R, most Wiis can't.fernan1234 wrote:That's too bad that it would involve burning discs.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
I guess I misunderstood. I always thought that a custom MIOS was for loading GC game backups (as in, burned discs). I do have an early Wii that reads DVD-Rs, or at least that's what I remember when I tried that about 10 years ago. More recently of course I've only used Nintendont. I still have no idea how one would use Swiss on Wii while running ISO files though.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
The same as on a GameCube: SD Gecko, IDE-EXI, USB Gecko, WASP/Wiikey Fusion, WODE.
You're just missing the Broadband Adapter as an option.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Now I'm recalling some of those tools from the very early days of Wii/GC homebrew development. The Gecko stuff in particular. All that ancient stuff still has an important role to play, it turns out! I imagine they're hard to track down nowadays though.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
SD Gecko is very common and performs great in r634+ with alternate read patches.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Just as a quick aside - an I right that 576p can only done at 50hz - i.e. with slowdown?Extrems wrote:There is. That's originally how I got involved with the project, back when 576p was the new thing.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
I don't think game speed is tied to refresh rate in many (any?) GC/Wii games.. the 3D ones at least. You will get a lower frame rate, but actual game speed should be the same.andykara2003 wrote:Just as a quick aside - an I right that 576p can only done at 50hz - i.e. with slowdown?
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
Most games are tied to refresh rate, but some games with higher internal resolution in 50Hz aren't. Metroid Prime 1 is my favorite example.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
I ordered one of these SDGecko clones https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BH ... UTF8&psc=1 and will try launching homebrew/swiss on a Wii with it and a WW disc I luckily kept around.
It sure would be nice if Swiss was ported as Wii homebrew and could read games from the Wii's SD card slot (or even better, from a USB drive).

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
This both really annoyed me (as I'll have to go check my two Wii consoles for it now), and blew my mind; I had no idea. Thanks a lot for sharing the info.GeneraLight wrote:Did you have WiiConnect24 activated before it was shut down in 2012? Leaving WiiConnect24 on has been known to cause Wiis to overheat and damage the GPU, causing the video artifacts.
So anyone wanting to get a Wii Dual mod should probably double-check the existing video out, as that mod taps into the GPU (is that right)? Sorry if I've gotten that complete wrong.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
I definitely would. I didn't know that this was a possible problem but I did my own installation so I was able to move it to another Wii. If you send out a dying Wii for modification it would be a real shame.coderkind wrote:This both really annoyed me (as I'll have to go check my two Wii consoles for it now), and blew my mind; I had no idea.

SDGeckos are worthless. Heck, it looks possible to get one for 14 cents.fernan1234 wrote:I'll look into it. Thanks for the guidance.
ebay is running a "Save $3.00 when you spend $3.01 or more." coupon code that should work on this.

Depends on how quickly you want it. You could spend $0.14~$3.14 and end up waiting 2~4 weeks to get it from Singapore, or spend $7 and get it by Saturday.theclaw wrote:SDGeckos are worthless.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
So this game can be run at 576/60? That would be fantastic!Extrems wrote:Most games are tied to refresh rate, but some games with higher internal resolution in 50Hz aren't. Metroid Prime 1 is my favorite example.
Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
It runs in 576p50, but it's not slowed down.

Already set up my MC card and booted Swiss. Now that I understand how this works better I realize I was dumb to think loading from the Wii's SD/USB slots could ever be possible using this. It's fully in GC mode at that point.

Re: Cloning the Gamecube component cable
I only have a list of games with higher internal resolution in 50Hz. I don't care enough to look for game speed, unless it's blatantly sped up in forced 60Hz.
