Hey everyone. Searched around and couldnt find an answer for this. I went and picked up a component cable for wii recently. It works nicley for the games and I am happy with the picture(it really does smooth things out!). The only problem I have is I can't get GeeXboX to work with it!! As soon as I launch it either from channel or HBC the screen goes all wavy and nuts and my TV switches from CVI to AVI and still displays the waviness..You can also see the colors of the orange/blue splash screen waving around.

Is GeeXboX compatible with a component cable? if so how do i set it up?

That is very strange. I use Geexbox myself with component cables. Maybe you have an old version of the program or some setting got screwed up? Have you tried deleting all Geexbox related folders and installing the newest version? (I think there's a folder related to Geexbox that lurks outside of the classic "apps" directory in the root of the card).

Yea, I think it may be the folder on the root that messing it up or my tv just doesnt like me..I'll try a fresh reinstall with the latest version..

    although I have huge doubts anyone would be able to make homebrew that would give support for the touch screen
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    then again theres still people who develop games on systems as old as the nes for fun

    micromages is amazing btw)

    I doubted 360 emulation would be possible

    yet here we are seeing ps4 and even some (very experimental
    ) ps5 emulation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps5 emulation? Why
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I always thought Saturn emulation would straight up be impossible
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just the atchiture is insanely complex
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's why it annoys me when people rant about things being impossible when it comes to software some things should just be focused on more than others
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    because they want to flex their insane developer skills ofc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    We have ps5 exploits where's an article talking about ps5 emulation?

    heres ps4/5
    emulation (it is far from playing actual games yet but its something) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qe71pCjC9U
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Damn Frontier is offering 5Gbps now lol
