Swiss v0.5r806

For this release, @cristofercruz has kindly contributed a new interface theme. We hope you'll like it.

A new fastboot apploader has been introduced. Users with an optical drive emulator can now enjoy near-instant access to Swiss. You can use the boot through IPL feature to bring back the boot animation when loading games.

To commemorate these changes, we've bumped the version number to 0.5.

Swiss v0.4r798

Cleaning up the mess from the previous release, the Wiikey Fusion should now work better than ever, including 2-disc support.

A long-standing bug causing crashes with DVD/GCLoader and patch fragments has been fixed.

There's now the option of booting games through the GameCube Main Menu. This feature has some issues still, but it mostly work. Current game settings apply, so it can be seen in progressive scan.

Swiss v0.4r785

DVD/GCLoader have been ported over to the new read patches, and all games are now treated as potentially reloading. This allow certain games, most famously XIII, to be played in progressive scan using an original/backup disc or GCLoader, and also allow other patches to persist across resets. An SD Card Adapter is required for this to function.

If you had disabled the new read patches before, these will be reset to enabled. The option to disable them has been replaced with a more succinct "Emulate Audio Streaming" option. This should also fix cases where they've been inadvertently disabled by the last release. This option only take hold for SD Card Adapters and IDE-EXI.

@Extrems committed:

• Fix comparison with falsely flagged audio streaming.
• Save and compare disc header.
• Port DVD/GCLoader over to the new patches.
• Hide .nkit.iso extension.
• Hide swiss_patches directory upon creation.
• Implement sync ioctl.
• Check other file attributes of existing patch fragments.
• Change "Alternate Read Patches" option for a "Emulate Audio Streaming" option.
• Simply enable interrupts and call OSResetSystem.
• Hijack current thread to call OSResetSystem.
• Patch EXIDetach.

Swiss v0.4r775-1

An issue preventing an SD card on Serial Port 2 to be detected, or making it run at a slower speed, was discovered.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Swiss v0.4r775

In this release, I've added a new, more game oriented File Browser type which can be enabled via the General Settings screen. The ability to configure network options within Swiss itself is now possible too (not for SMB yet). Additionally, default game settings should now apply on games that have never had their config saved before too, there'll be some more work in the future regarding being able to default specific options, since the current default is more a "settings template for new games". @Extrems fixed SD initialisation issues with some additional commits in libOGC to back the changes.

@emukidid committed:

• Tidy up last commit
• Fix issue #301, tidy up some unused warnings
• Display bba_ip on info screen if initialized
• Fix GCLoader device name
• New optional file browser targeted at GCM files
• Push WIP text entry for certain settings
• Fix default game settings for new entries

@Extrems committed:

• Adjust for libOGC changes.
• Add auto speed downgrade.
• Make use of EXILock with SD Gecko and IDE-EXI.

Swiss v0.4r766

For this release, while I mostly focused on the Broadband Adapter, the way in-game reset work in the new read patches has changed. @emukidid worked on improving file browsing speed.

@emukidid committed:

• Make less calls when reading banner data, standardise it with a struct
• Fix banner description display when carriage return is present
• Fix read/size issue when banner is at the end of the file

@Extrems committed:

• Make use of EXILock callback for transmit.
• Make use of __OSMaskInterrupts/__OSUnmaskInterrupts.
• Change IGR to call OSResetSystem in idle thread.
• Fix another cause of missed interrupts.
• Don't trap reset button if not using IGR.
• Find __OSUnhandledException and put it in our table.
• Reuse __OSInitSystemCall to install a jump table.
• Smooth things out with the Broadband Adapter.
