Gamecube Picoboot Help!
The PicoBoot Troubleshooting tips say that this can be caused by either a faulty SD2SP2 adapter or your SD card isn't set up correctly.

MemCard Pro and GBA adapter
Yes. Here is a video demonstration of using the disc to access Swiss. You need this version of the Action Replay disc (ensuring it says US console if your console is a US model, or it says European console for PAL models). You then need an SD card adapter like this to store the Swiss files. You can also store Game Boy Interface files to load it from Swiss. Here is a visual comparison of Game Boy Interface. I can tell you it looks so much better on a modern TV.

Picoboot mod and soft reset
Thanks for the reply! I'd never have thought to try that. Though, now instead of rebooting to the build-in IPL it just hard locks with a black screen instead. Much like this thread, so I guess I'm not alone as this seems to have been going on for a long time: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/issues/364

- Crack in disc. How can I fix it?

Swiss loaded ISO’s can’t save, corrupted memory
In most cases, yes. As hanst3r said if the game requires streaming audio emulation (select the game in Swiss and it will tell you whether it uses this or not) then you can't also use virtual memory cards. This also applies if you enable read speed emulation, which as far as I know is only required with Tales of Symphonia.

GameCube Gameboy player
You don't need the OEM disc for anything. You just need some way to boot homebrew. Some options are an Action Replay and an SD Card adapter, a memory card with an exploited save game and the game that goes with it, or using a modded GameCube with Picoboot, GCLoader, or XenoGC. You boot into Swiss and then select options for and boot into GBI.
