Update: One more: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/releases
The Swiss team has been hard at work updating their software, with three four updates in the previous weeks! For anyone unfamiliar with the software, the most common use is for launching games with forced video modes, such as forcing a 480i game to run in 480p. Swiss can be used with original discs, as well as .dol files, making it (in my opinion) essential for all GameCube power users.
The easiest way to access Swiss is by booting an Action Replay disc and using an SD card memory reader; This can be done on a completely stock, unmodified GC. The latest version (r528) can be found here: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/releases/tag/v0.4r528
Information on the previous two releases can be found here:
r520: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/releases/tag/0.4r520
r473: https://github.com/emukidid/swiss-gc/releases/tag/0.4r473
