 +
== Things to Consider and useful informations ==
 +
 
 +
=== SWISS ===
 +
 
 +
SWISS is basically a swiss armyknife and unleashes the full potential of the GameCube. See the [https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc Project-Page] and the [https://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Swiss GC-Forever Wiki] for further information and how to get it running.
 +
 
 +
Basic Features of SWISS that are relevant for enhancing the image quality:
 +
* Enforcing specific resolutions / Progressive Scan
 +
** Requires an Output capable of 480p / 576p (Component, GC Video, PixelFX G.E.M.)
 +
** [https://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Swiss/Forced_Progressive_Compatibility_List Forced Progressive Compatibility List]
 +
** ADDING SCREENSHOTS AND TUTORIAL LATER!
 +
* Disabling FullScreen Alpha Dithering
 +
** This removes the Alpha Dithering Filtering for most games and improves video output especially for DigitalOut. See [https://www.retrorgb.com/swiss-dither-removal-option-added.html here].
 +
** ADDING SCREENSHOTS AND TUTORIAL LATER!
 +
* Set horizontal scaling to a specific setting (Useful if you are using Digital output, improves imagequality in this case. See [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xEFyrbUbvU here]).
 +
** ADDING SCREENSHOTS AND TUTORIAL LATER!
 +
 
 +
=== GameBoy Interface (gbi) ===
 +
 
 +
gbi is a homebrew that allows to run GameBoyPlayer Hardware in an optimized fashion. Further information and documentation about the project is found [https://www.gc-forever.com/wiki/index.php?title=Game_Boy_Interface here]. To get the optimal picture for your setup, please refer to the link.
 +
 
 +
=== Native Progressive Scan / PAL60 ===
 +
 
 +
* Most PAL-Games contain a PAL60 Mode, which can be enabled by pressing and holding B-Button at game startup. PAL60 is NOT automatically progressive scan, so the output changes to 480i.
 +
* Some NTSC-Games contain a Progressive Scan Mode, which can be enabled by pressing and holding B-Button at game startup.
 +
 
 +
A comprehensive List is available under [https://gravemind.sh/blog/?p=479 https://gravemind.sh/blog/?p=479].
