Propper IDA Loading?

Title says it all. What is needed to load an eboot.self into IDA properly? For the most part ida can read the eboots but one thing i notice is that strings are never handled properly and this really hinders modding. There are probably a few other things that dont get loaded correctly and I'm wonder if someone has found a way to fix this yet.

String XRefs are what im mostly after :P.

Pretty sure most eboots need to be loaded using the choice 'ELF executable' and setting the processor type to PowerPC [PPC]

That's what i choose and some things still dont read right. Like i said, no strings are referenced at all. Every single one i try i get a "no xref" message and this just seems highly unlikely.
