Backup Launcher 0.3 beta

This is the release of a test version of the backup launcher. It runs stable for most games. I hope someone can make a compatibility matrix in the wiki. Please provide some good input data. Don't ask questions which are already answered. If you didn't use it before, you should check the posts for the old version.

Please put test results here.

The files are also in the signature of djtaz (see post below).

If you have problems with the archive, you may rename it from .tgz to .tar.gz and extract it twice.

What is included:
- cIOS Installer
- Backup Launcher 0.3 with banner

Changelog:
- Cinematic now working properly
- Wi-Fi Enabled
- Faster Load time
- Drive speed is still 3x. It is so fast that some testers believed it is running at 6x.
- Supports non-patched and patched Wii games (The correct term for "patched" is "decrypted")
- Not all games will work, but as of now most do.

Some parts are modification of free available source code, and are unsupported and not condoned by the original authors of it. The backup loader modification is solely the work of WiiGator.
Thanks to Waninkoko for his support and the first version of the backup loader.

---------------------
F.A.Q.s
---------------------

Q. What does it do?
A. Play Wii backups on your non-modded Wii.

Q. Do all games work?
A. This is only a beta version. Not all games will work, but as of now most do.

Q: Where do I get support for it?
A: I do this in my free time. So you need to search in the internet for forums like http://gbatemp.net.

Q: Where do I get an update?
A: You will get updates at my blog: http://gbatemp.net/?act=module&module=...member=WiiGator

Q: When will it support ... and when will be released?
A: I do this in my free time, so I don't know.

A: I heard a rumour that ...?
Q: Don't believe it. Wait until it is approved or declined.

Q. What does patched games means and do I need it?
A. This was used in the first version. The game application was decrypted. It is not needed anymore. 1:1 backups have higher compatibility than patched games.

Q. How do I run it?
A. Seems you don't know anything about homebrew yet:
- You need to install http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel.
- You will need http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Hack and the game "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" to install the channel.
- Create the directory apps in the root of your SD card.
- Copy Backup_Launcher and cIOS_Installer to the directory apps.
- Put the SD card into the front SD slot of your Wii.
- Then run the homebrew channel.
- First install cIOS and then run Backup Launcher.

Q. I can't install cIOS, I keep getting an error. How do I fix this?
A. If you have a previous cIOS installed, remove it with Waninkoko's cIOS Uninstaller or use AnyTitleDeleter. Then
try to install the new cIOS. IF YOU RECENTLY UPDATED THE WII, DON'T UNINSTALL CIOS, BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR LAST HOPE TO DOWNGRADE AND USING THIS!!! People reported about automatic updates when Wii connect 24 was activated. Wait until something is released to fix this. More information is on page 7.

Q. Do I need the new cIOS to play games?
A. Yes.

Q. Does Wi-Fi work?
A. Yes, some games have been tested and they work. Though we're not sure if all of them work.

Q. I have a problem, will you fix it?
A. Post it in the Backup Launcher thread and beta testers or someone can help you.

Q. Can I be a beta tester?
A. You have already something what you can test.

Q. Will this brick my Wii?
A. There is a slim chance that it will. I have installed the cIOS countless times with no problems. But just make sure you follow the onscreen instructions. It is possible that someone puts malicious software on a game disc. I suggest to run only games which are correctly signed by Nintendo! You can check this for example by running extractpartition. Don't install updates from a burned game disc of a different region, this was already reported to brick your Wii, when using a hardware modchip.

Q. <Insert Game Here> doesn't work, whats the problem?
A. The loader isn't perfect. It will probably be fixed in the next update.

Q. Does it load GameCube backups?
A. No.

Q. Does it play old games like Twilight Princess and Red Steel?
A. No, but some are working.

Q. Do I need dvdx?
A. No. Just ignore it and forget that it could be in anyway related to this program.

Q. There is a online or disc update available from Nintendo, should I update it?
A. NEVER MAKE ANY UPDATE FROM NINTENDO!!! This can make the backup launcher unusable. There are better ways to do this.

Q. Where does cIOS install?
A. It installs on the NAND flash of your Wii. It uses IOS249 v6.

Q. Is this easy to uninstall if I decide I dont want it ?
A. Yes - most of the install files can be removed with the WAD manager - the rest just delete off the SD card.

Q. I'm getting an error with : DVD Identify Failed when I try to run a game - why ?
A. This is a burn media issue - dont use DVD REWRITABLES and try a different disc/drive/burn speed. You need to change the book type of DVD+R.

Q. I'm getting an error with : No DVD when I try to run a game - why ?
A. This is a burn media issue - dont use DVD REWRITABLES and try a different disc/drive/burn speed. You need to change the book type of DVD+R.

Q. I don't have Wi-Fi, how can I install it?
A. You need to download the following files with your computer:

[quote name='apu2009' post='1508441' date='Oct 31 2008, 06:17 PM']Woo, this is my first venture into Wii Homebrew... I've made a little progress, but I'm stuck now. Here's what I've done so far:

- I successfully ran the Twilight Princess hack and installed the HBC (My Wii has 3.3U installed and has never touched anything homebrew related)
- I then ran WiiGator's cIOS Installer, and while it worked with wireless, it returns the following:

Adding content ID 00000000
install_nus_object(0x8005d7e0, 0)

ES_AddContentStart(00000001000000f9, )

.
.
ES_AddContentStart(00000001000000f9, ) failed: -1017

install returned -1
Click to expand...

At that point I realized something had gone wrong due to the -1 and -1017 results.

- I ran WiiGator's Backup Loader anyway with Wii Music (burned on a TDK DVD+R [booktype changed to DVD-ROM]) and I get two overlapping errors which I could barely make out. I decided to look at the source code for the loader to see where the error code strings were. I determined that the two errors I got were:

- Set decrypt failed
- No DVD

At this point I'm not sure what to do... I'm not sure if installing Waninkoko's cIOS would help, but I'd rather not install stuff until I'm sure of what to do.

Despite all of this, I'm still happy I'm dipping my feet into the homebrew scene. Thanks a lot for all your work WiiGator =)

**UPDATE**
I was able to downgrade to 3.2U using the post here. I'm going to try and run the cIOS installer again now... *crosses fingers*

**UPDATE #2**
Poop... While I was able to downgrade to 3.2U, I still get the same errors as before. *stumped*

**UPDATE #3**
I just tried installing Waninkoko's Custom IOS36 rev 06 and I get a -2011 error. I'm so close to getting the Backup Launcher to work >_<
[/quote]

Personally, I downloaded a pack with already had the "wi-fi" related files on them.

So basically, with a 3.1 firmware (but should be the same in 3.2), I did that :

- Downloaded this .rar file : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TDO8I4GV
- Extract it and copied the "00000001" directory on the root of my SD Card, then copied "Backup_launcher" & "cIOS_Installer" sub directory in an apps\ directory of your SD Card.

So basically, you should have at the end :

X:000001\
X:\apps\Backup_Launcher\
X:\apps\cIOS_Installer\

Where X is the letter of your SD CARD on your computer.

- Powered on my Wii with the SD CARD in it, then loaded the Homebrew Channel.
- Installed the cIOS by selecting the entry in the homebrew channel, then waited until the end of the installation)

And it's over, then I just selecting the backup loader entry, put the DVD-R in the Wii then loaded the game and it worked fine.

But before, I had installed the first beta of Waninkoko/Wiigator Loader so maybe it helped, don't know at all (the one which needed DVDX), but from what Wiigator said, it's not needed to have installed the previous one before to install the new one.

If you always have some problems, you could always try to download an appz which can uninstall cIOS, maybe the few attempts of installation put some garbage or other, which the appz will clean, then you can start to install it again.

I think I show some peoples with some problems during the installation of the cIOS so you will probably be able to find a way to run it (by trying what I say or by searching on this forum).

The only thing which can actually prevent the loader for running (if I'm right) is people who have 3.3 and who did the last Wii Shop Channel update (and which didn't have a custom cIOS installed before on their Wii, which prevent them from downgrading)

[/quote]

Mkay... I'm not sure where to go from here then. I'm a bit in both situations xD. Before I started with homebrew, I had no cIOS and also updated to 3.3U. I'm not sure if updating to 3.3 automatically applies the Wii Shop update or not (I updated using only the System options menu). After updating I ran the cIOS installer that came with Wiigator's package, and it started downloading the necessary files. Once it got to the installation, it failed at the error code in my previous post. I decided to look around the forum and realized that my fatal mistake was installing the 3.3U update. Eventually, I managed to downgrade back to 3.2U using the guide in here. I tried running the cIOS installer again after downgrading , but got the same error. I'm not sure if there's some remaining IOS or cIOS there that I don't know of. I'm not sure which one to remove either :(. I have AnyTitleDeleter, Waninkoko's cIOS Uninstaller 1.1, Waninkoko's cIOS Downgrader 1.2 to use, but again, I'm not sure which cIOS to remove (if any). Any ideas on where to go from here?

Thanks for the response davhuit :)

is your problem with the beta 3 install or the fact that you updated your wii ??

Try downloading the zip file i have in my sig and read the How To and follow all of that and see if it fixes things ... back up what you have on your SD card beforehand.

I'm not sure whether the problem is with the beta 3 install or the update process... I'm leaning slightly more towards the update process blocking something (even though I've downgraded). I'll download the zip and give it a shot :). Should I follow the how to exactly, or would I have to add/skip steps since I've installed certain things already?

Id try the lot again - re-installing something if its there wont make any difference.
I know i had to re-install a cIOS a few times to get it working properly so worth giving it a go again.

Mkay, I ran into a problem with the how to... I installed the homebrew channel successfully, and then I went on to run the Safe Update 3.3 (I know it's optional, but it definitely is handy to have). I got this error message:

Found new-school ES hash check @ 0x5aea, patching.

Download complete. Installing to Title 00000001-00000033...

Something failed. Sorry.
Press any key to quit.

Not sure what to do with that xD. I could always proceed with the steps, but by the looks of it, I'll run into the same error I was running into before...

*UPDATE*
Out of curiosity, I tried downgrading to 3.1U to see if it would work, and the same error message occurs.
Something else that may be of interest is that running AnyTitleDeleter also a similar error messages (not all of them are written):
"Informing Wii that I am God...Error! ES_Identity (ret = -1017)"

hello

wiigator do you have news on your backup launcher



do you working on v0.3 (new ios??) or v0.4

can you give us info on your progress

thks



ps: v0.3 is already good new version will be great
:-)

Okay, I obviously don't get this stuff, so it's all going over my head. The only game I've managed to get running properly to any satisfactory degree is Wii Music. Mario Kart, Paper Mario and Carnival Games: Mini-Golf all fail to run. They get to the warning screen about proper use of the strap and whatnot, and then go to a black screen before turning out a disk-read error in the end. Well, not all the time, and that's the frustrating thing. I got in-game with Carnival Games and Paper Mario. Once each game. After that, they've continuously given me disk-read errors. Mario Kart has never gotten past the warning screen at all. Interestingly enough, the games that don't work are all PAL, and my console is NTSC. Could that be causing problems?

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the cIOS, and that's why I actually managed to get in-game in Carnival Games and Paper Mario. I've read that if it you run into excessive errors, it might be due to a faulty cIOS install. The trouble is, it hasn't seemed to properly install. What makes this all worse is that I'm a total n00b, and none of the information I've found, including that in this thread, is very newbie friendly. Which is no big deal mind you, but it would be fantastic if there was a tutorial for complete and total idiots like myself. :P

If any of you have any insight into my problem, I'd be forever grateful. Could my system version effect this? Do I need any cIOS besides the one posted in the FAQ at the start of this thread? I'm completely at a loss.

Thanks for bearing with me guys. You've been great so far. I'm just having trouble working this all out.

I think you may have the latest Nintendo updated IOS that was released on October 23rd that prevents you from doing quite a lot of things -
You will need to downgrade your system , but get confirmation off someone else before you do.

Ah okay... What's the proper process to downgrade the system? I guess using Waninkoko's cIOS Downgrader doesn't work so well if I still have the latest version despite downgrading to 3.1U. I'll PM WiiGator to see if he can confirm that downgrading is the best option and I'll post back afterwards.

Thanks again djtaz :)

You have updated your wii to 3.3, all ios have now been patched. You are unable to install any wads, including the cios.

Your only way out now is to use IOS16 as documented in a few threads around here.

And then in future don't update - there is nothing handy about it.

Newbie here. How do I use the cIOS installer read retry file for the backup launcher? Like, where on my SD card do I put it, and how do I run it?

Its a DOL file so put it into the Apps folder in a folder called cios fix on your SD card and rename it to boot.dol - it should load that way from the homebrew channel.

So I had it in the right place, I just didn't rename the file properly. Alright, I'll give it a try. I'm about at my wits end here. :P

I do appreciate the work of everyone involved, especially the guys who brought us these loaders in the first place. Fantastic stuff, even if I'm about to go insane trying to work it out. :D

I ran it. Can't tell if it made a bit of difference. Games still aren't loading. Thanks for the help though dude. You rock.

Yes, I updated to 3.3. However, I did downgrade to 3.2 and subsequently 3.1. I am able to install WADs, as I've confirmed by installing a few WiiWare titles. The issue has to be something else... It's very strange that I can install WADs but not install the cIOS I need... Also, by using IOS16, what would I accomplish?

You have updated your wii to 3.3, all ios have now been patched. You are unable to install any wads, including the cios.

Your only way out now is to use IOS16 as documented in a few threads around here.

And then in future don't update - there is nothing handy about it.

It isn't the only way out, I posted how I was able to downgrade 7 pages ago. (downgrade using waninkoko to 3.2, then install the wanin's ORIGINAL IOS36 wad).

Dani, how did you go about doing that? I did the steps you did in this post:

In reality it is not necessary, I'll explain what I did:
1) Downgraded my wii to 3.2E using waninkoko's downgrader v1.2
2) Installed the IOS36-64-v1042.wad (not the rev5 one) using wanin's Wad manager v12.2
3) Then I was able to install the cios installer for the new backup launcher, and uninstall/install DVDx, etc. ....
4) Optional: I updated my wii to 3.3E, but, didn't install the shop channel update.

In one of my previous posts, however, I wrote the following:

I just tried installing Waninkoko's Custom IOS36 rev 06 and I get a -2011 error.

And that's why I couldn't get it running... D'you have any idea why that error might have come up? (Remember that I started homebrew after updating to 3.3U, which means I had no cIOS installed). What I find weird is that I was actually able to run the Homebrew Channel installation even after I installed 3.3U (again, without having any cIOS installed).

I can't wait to see how far they take this in the future. And I do hope that the problems highlighted thus-far are surmountable.
