Qoob Quirks and Questions

[.bin]

Qoob Installed last nite, noticed a few "weird" things which could be normal for qoob but hey here goes.

I had NO lid on at all yet the laser/disc started spinning. The lid switch was not down. I then put the lid on and closed it. It still boots but when you open the lid it stops. Weird? or is it the qoob way.

When I select the original bios (the gamecube one) it goes into that. But It doesn't seem to let me get back to qoob. I powered off, held down the same button, so I unplugged the controller port (for battery backup) and it went back to qoob. Maybe I missed something to get back to qoob from original gc bios?

Last q is about emulators. I tried burning some snes and nes dols to disc. I tried these via streaming ages ago and they worked.

Anyway The qoob gives me a list menu and I select the snes dols and they boot fine but they have like a skinny screen, like its not full screen. Opposite to like what a widescreen move would look like, borders on left and right.

Also the nes dols don't boot at all, although they work via streaming. Is it a qoob prob?

Besides that it all works great and is faster than I thought about booting.

I believe the emulator is outputting a 256x224 resolution like a real SNES only in a 320x240 resolution window (I doubt the GC can do native 256x224) so thats why you have black borders on the sides of the screen.

Lid - it bypasses the switch so its easier to use without the lid, but with large dvds (IIRC), only need the lid closed if you want multi disk games to be able to load the second disk

BIOS- never had a problem with using the origional bios option, I notice the qoob screen flashes by really quickly though before it brings up the N logo, most times when I have reboot from that, I have a game or dol disk in there and simply hold no buttons - and that seems to work for me, although I have not been able to reproduce what happens to you (dol-001 us version for me BTW)
