Preview GC Backup Launcher for Wii

The last days I was working on a loader for GC backups. This is only a preview. The release will be within the next week.

A tester made a video showing it in action. Sorry for the bad quality.

EDIT:Here is a better video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xak8qdMKbU&fmt=18

Here are some notes:

I tested it with the games I have. All games seem to be fully working. There may be games which are not working.

IOS249 with backup support need to be installed (e.g. my cIOS r7 from backuplauncher 0.3 gamma).

DVD speed is still limited to 3x.

There are sometimes problems with the DVD read speed. So there is sometimes a very short delay in a few games. The game play is only barely influenced. This was only the case for one of my games.

If you eject the disc, no disc can be detected after it. For 2 disc games use the second disc to boot, if you need to change the disc.

You will need to copy the following files to a SD card, if you don't have a internet connection (either Version 5 or Version 6, both is working). There are problems with the nintendo servers in the last time. You may not be able to download it.

EDIT: MIOS Version 4 is also supported.

MIOS Version 5

EDIT: MIOS Version 6 seems not to be available from the nintendo servers. I thought that I have used it in the past.

MIOS Version 8

I made a better one bfore, but I managed to delete it when changing the name of the page. I probably should have used the Move function.[/quote]
Thanks, that's acctually exactly what I was going to do :lol: (copy from another page).

I'll change it a bit and add my games...

You have no idea what I've done. Yesterday I wanted to play my Wii so bad, except it was about 5 feet out of reach, so I just in my chair (WITH WHEELS LOL I just realized) and looked at GBAtemp for 6 hours.

Anyways, for games are the testers burning as DVD-R or DVD+R or DVD+R Booktyped/bitset to DVD-ROM? I want to know what works since I have a few DVD+R I ahve lying around.
 
To the people who are complaining about the release, it probably isn't tonight, Wiigator said he'd LIKE to get it out this week, but he has a life outside of GBATemp, he has other things to do that are more important.

4 hours isn't that much for a geek.
 
Lol, Yeah I sit on the computer on average from 7AM-11PM (I do school online) but I meant to say he's managed to keep me glued to GBATemp/This thread for like 3+ hours now :P

Please Wiigator, Let me know if sitting here another 6 hours is worth it XD

Yeah I realize that seeing how its what 11:20 his time?

Im hoping for a release tomorrow or an early next week release. Although tonight would be killer.
 
[quote name='Mrkinator' post='1759130' date='Feb 7 2009, 05:19 PM']I changed the Wiki to get rid of "1:1" since all the games going to be 1:1 :P[/quote]
Heh good point. I missed a few other things too but I've fixed those. (L used to be before K a few minutes ago)

Alright I just remembered something. Some Gamecube games are different versions. Like Pikmin theres a 1.0 and a 1.1 so people should note that, except I have no idea how to check that.

4 hours is a lot if you got parents who hate their child wanting to spend all weekend on the computer. (Can't go during weekdays cause I got to study :hateit: )

I could change it to "GAME NAME (Version if Applicable)"
 
I think its coming cause in Wiigators profile it says:
Viewing Topic: Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma (wich is his blog)

Tension is going up

I changed it to "Name (Version if Applicable)" since they should already know its a game.
