Requirements

• GameCube with controller
• A way to boot homebrew

Usage

1. Download latest Swiss release and extract its contents.
2. Copy the compressed Swiss DOL file found in the DOL folder to the device/medium you are using to boot homebrew.
3. Launch Swiss, browse your device and load a DOL or GCM!

Note: If the above steps do not work, try using the non-compressed Swiss DOL file.

Another Note: Specific devices will have specific locations/executable file variants that need to be used, please check the documentation with those devices on where Swiss will need to be placed.
