Hey guys, I installed my gcloader and put the swiss boot.iso in the root, but when I turn it on, all I get is a black screen (I do hear the startup jingle just briefly).

I think my sd card might be the issue. Anyone know what I can try to get this working?

You bought GCLoader from Europe that show €70.25 Europe money right?

You should contact seller for replace or full refund your money back. If seller refuse offer replace or full refund to you then you should fill a complaint with your PayPal or/and bank to get your money back.

Did you find where GCLoader board made in? China?



I find this black dog tech from US based that show US dollars on it.

https://www.black-dog.tech/gc-loader-pnp.html

$90.00

I not sure if anyone bought this and maybe work or not. I worry about more defect or fault board maybe can be problems from factory for not doing strict quality control check before leave factory to shipped to stores. :(

Everyone should release info to us about it.

I would be a bit less offensive against the guy making these. I have one as well and works perfectly fine. I am wondering if @blinky87 contacted the seller first before going here? He is a very helpful person in my experience. Looking at the FP I am assuming blinky hasn't yet.

Using gcloader with an ossc and modified component cable the ossc lost sync with the standard swiss settings. Since it lost sync, I was just getting a black screen and couldn't change or save any settings.

So I got out my composite gamecube cable and hooked up a old composite to vga adapter I had and used that to boot to swiss using a vga monitor. Using the vga monitor I changed the swiss menu resolution to 576i instead of auto and now the ossc doesn't lose sync anymore so I can use the gcloader finally.

    I can't believe you got me with that

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I know the basics but no strategy at all :rofl:
