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 all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here

you either don't have a compatible disc in, have a bad burn, or mios not istalled properly.

how are you installing the mios? through internet or sd?
 
erm i think it says...network? so im assuming its the internet...if i need to install it via sd i dont know how? where to put the files etc

when you install via network, does it say "install done" or some kind of fail error upon the completion of part 15/15?
 
it just stalled at step 15...all of the steps said complete though...but i had to reboot, how do i access that task again? the step 1-15

mine also failed at 15. What I did was uninstalled the mios. then install/reinstall the cios for wii back ups. then reinstall mios with v5. I then got complete message and gcbackuploader worked, but with MANY bugs of course.
 
this is hard work installing this....i wish there was some kind of installation program that did it all automatically haha
 
For those with the disc error: have u checked that ios 249 is installed properly. The network installation for the mios I believe tries to download 247 for menu and it failed on mine and my gamecube backups work. Try reinstalling ios 249 then mios network and see if the first line says 247 failed. Then try GC backup launcher.
 
oooo this sounds inntresting, do u uninstall the mios in a wad manager channel.....and reinstall it that way, and how do i access the part that gives me the steps 1-15 ive forgot
 
CRAP!!!! I just tried Zoids Battle Legends. It gets to main menu, then all options lead to disc read error. I REALLY wanted this one to work... :hateit: does anyone know how to edit compatibility list, so i can record this?
