Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

Purpose: Run GameCube backups on the Wii.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N6946KPF
Mirror: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4757

In the source archive there are the binaries as archive included. You will need to first to extract gcbackup0.1_v7.tgz and then gcbackup0.1_theta.tgz.

Not all games are working and it still contains bugs. If you have a problem don't send me a message. Just post in the forum. You will get a faster answer.
Check first: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/Gam...patibility_List

Don't start complaining that a game is not working. You have the source code and can fix the bug. I do this in my free time and I don't get paid for it.

There is a video showing it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xak8qdMKbU&fmt=18

It is prohibited to use any of the software to illegally copy games, they are intended only to create and play legal backups of games that you own. In some countries or regions it is still illegal to make copies of games that you own, check with your local authorities if you are unsure. I cannot be held responsible for any misuse of these programs. The use of any of the above software is done so at your own risk. If you mess something up or anything undesirable (ie: loss of warranty, brick, lawsuits, jailtime) happens because of any of these programs, it is your own fault. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Short Instructions:
1. Run miospatcher
2. Press X (only one time!), if you want to use Wii Backup Launcher or Wii disc channel to start.
3. Press A
4. Run rungcbackup
5. Press A and play your game

This application theoretical can brick your Wii and make it unusable. It was written to be safe as possible. If something fails it should only have effect on the GameCube mode. You should still be able to use Wii mode and repair it by installing a MIOS with a WAD installer.

Thanks to WiiShizzza for the graphic

Thanks to all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here

Naruto GNT4 doesn't appear to work. Once I get to the Main Menu, I get to a black screen with Japanese Characters and "OFF". Not sure what that would mean.

Awesome, just got Majora's Mask loaded!

Like the Wiki says, press "Start" for the reboot option and it'll take about a minute to load up.

No I think it's because of a limitation of the Wii, since once it enters into Gamecube mode anything the Gamecube doesn't use gets shut off.

The Wii just doesn't like that game, even with my legit copy. I doubt this will work with it being on a DVD-R, but with even the legit copy you had to take the disc out at the main menu then put it back in for it to work.

[quote name='6th_hokage' post='1759954' date='Feb 8 2009, 03:16 PM']Is it possible to run GC game using wii remote+ nunchuk?[/quote]
No. When you run the backup up launcher, it switches the Wii into GC mode which only uses the GC controller.

Really? That seriously bites...

Time to go back to the emulator. :hateit:

And seeing those screens it is not the same error I'm talking about. Pretty sure that's the bare bones DRE screen.

by the way, has anyone gotten n64 emulated gc isos to work yet? I haven't been able to get any to work as of now.

I know I'm a newbie here on GBAtemp....but a suggestion to a Mod...

Would a Mod be willing to start a new thread for people having problems or errors so theres a kind of a one stop shop?

I thought about making one, but I figure people would say "pfft, who does that noob think he is?"

Just a suggestion....

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
