## What it is
Swiss is an all-in-one homebrew utility for the Nintendo GameCube that acts as a file browser and loader for games and applications across many storage devices. It supports SD cards, optical discs, network shares (SMB/FTP/FSP), and various hardware loaders, plus device emulation and accessory services.

## Use cases
- load GameCube games from an SD card or SD2SP2
- browse files on a GameCube memory card
- run homebrew apps from SMB or FTP over the Broadband Adapter
- boot disc backups via GC Loader or WASP
- serve Game ID to BlueRetro or MemCard PRO GC
- return to the loader after running homebrew applications

## When to choose
- you have a modded GameCube and need a universal loader for games and homebrew
- you want to access files across many GameCube storage devices from one UI
- you need network file access (SMB/FTP) on a GameCube

## When to avoid
- you need a utility for Wii or other consoles
- you want a PC-side GameCube emulator (use Dolphin instead)
- your console cannot boot homebrew
