Swiss r963

November 15th, 2020, 12:28 Posted By: wraggster

Swiss r963 is released. The swiss army knife of gamecube homebrew. Swiss aims to be the ultimate utility Gamecube homebrew application.

Swiss Changelog:
It's memory card emulation.
It's not quite ready for prime time still, but it has been a while, and general improvements have been pilling up.
It's currently limited to the following device combinations:
DVD + SD Card Adapter
GC Loader + SD Card Adapter
It currently has the following issues:
These devices still use synchronous I/O functions for the SD Card Adapter. Audiovisual glitches may occur during Memory Card access.
Changing channel on, or hotplugging a Wireless Receiver will cause the system to crash upon transmission from a WaveBird Controller on the set channel.
Due to insufficient memory space, disc read speed emulation is disabled.
On a system where a Memory Card hasn't been inserted in a particular Memory Slot since the system settings were last reset, the emulated Memory Card will be reported as unusable.
Probably more. Use this feature at your own risk.
