Hi everyone,
I’m running into a consistent freeze on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (NTSC) on my original DOL-001 GameCube. Every time I trigger the cutscene entering in the last door that drop a cinematic rescuing the sister at the Forsaken Fortress, the screen goes white and the system freezes.

Here is my current setup:

Hardware: DOL-001 (USA) with PicoBoot mod and an HDMI adapter for a modern TV.

Software: Swiss v0.6 (r2073).

Storage: 64GB SD card in a passive adapter in Slot B (running at 13.5 MHz).

Config: System output is forced to 480p. And i emulate memory card

What I’ve already tried:

Tried forcing 480i instead of 480p.

Disabled "Widescreen Hack" and other game-specific patches.

Horizontal/Vertical scale is set to 0.

I suspect this might be a hardware bottleneck because I am using a passive adapter in Slot B to load the ISO and the virtual memory card simultaneously, or potentially a corrupt save file/ISO. Has anyone experienced this specific freeze at this point in the game?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m running into a consistent freeze on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (NTSC) on my original DOL-001 GameCube. Every time I trigger the cutscene when u open the last door Before rescuing the sister at the Forsaken Fortress, the screen goes white and the system hangs completely. I investigated and after that door would be a cinematic

I have no confidence since yesterday I downloaded the latest version of Swiss and I have noticed that games like Tom Clancy go slower or crash so I don't know if it's because of the Swiss version, that in my Old version this didn't happen

(I have already deactivated everything related to forcing, and I have put the rest on automatic)

I play on a 64 gb SD at 13.5MHz since the adapter is in slot B, and I use an HDMI adapter for the digital av, in addition to emulating the memory card, I don't know if this is the cause of the problem, I've already tried to play it at 480i but it keeps crashing, just at that moment, everything else is going well and fluid

Is there any specific setting in Swiss or an optimization I should look into to prevent this hang during cutscenes? I suspect it might be a configuration conflict, but I'm not sure where else to look.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
