So I've been trying to run Swiss on my original Wii in order to play super Mario eclipse with the new custom music. My Wii is already set up with homebrew so I can use nintendont/wiiflow. I believe I have the most up to date version of swiss.

I bought an SD gecko and have two different micro SD cards which should be compatible with the software.

On my SD gecko I have a folder with games with eclipse in it. I also have a folder with swiss with the DOL file renamed to "swiss.dol"

On my primary SD card with my other apps and games I have swiss booter as well as wiixplorer. I've been trying a method that requires going through wiixplorer and booting swiss manually via the swiss.dol file through GameCube mode while having a GameCube disc in my Wii.

My problem is when I boot swiss this way it just fires up whatever GC game I have in the Wii and doesn't open the swiss menu. When I try swiss booter via the homebrew channel it just resets my Wii.

Do I perhaps need to change my cIOS settings? I'm at a point where I'm not really sure what I could be doing wrong

I already have cmios installed for using wiiflow and nintendont. I had read that using wiixplorer would allow one to bypass any additional cmios settings by booting the swiss DOL file that way and I had read other account of the method I've tried working.

I tried downloading an updated file of wiigator when I first started my swiss endeavors and couldn't find one. Is it necessary? All of the tutorials including the one you linked are a bit dated

I'm not a Swiss expert, but I don't think it's changed much lately (but could be wrong).

Nintendont doesn't use or require cmios, u sure u have one? https://gbatemp.net/threads/posting-a-system-check.300279/

Modmii can build cmios in wad form from modmii classic's download page 4. Or if u enable cmios in Modmii's options all its wizards/guides will include the recommended cmios.
