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.

I meant compared to the Wii Backup Loader, It's a weird feeling. Being so pumped for that, love that kinda feeling .Sorry, didn't mean it that way :shy: :creep:

But I'm exporting my video (30mins until that's done :glare:)
 
Thank you for this brilliant release. Good work - I guess it was worth all the waiting and most people's patience! Thanks so much!

DAMN this is good then lol haha Nice job wiigator Keep it coming...
 
Again great job Waninkoko and thank you !!!
As i said (because i'm a Resident Evil great fan) the first save of Wiigator are not compatible with the system and Resident Evil Zero was hanging in the telescop room.
After use of Waninkoko rev3, saving and hex comparing the saves, i've managed to change my save file (the one with WiiGator first GCloader) and make it good for Waninkoko and Gamecube system (regular cgi). It was in the first bytes and in the name of the file: copy saves with the 2 systems and comparing then editing the bad one. Now my save before crash worked in Waninkoko.

But .... when i try passing the telescop room, a screen (the same as resident evil remake) says: "Open the tray and and change disc" (sorry it'a a translation because i'm french). The Wii feels that i put the disc out (if press quickly, the disc is going out but the Wii doesn't "feel" it but when pressing 2 or 3 seconds , the Wii "feel" it and says: "Now insert the Disc 2 and close the tray" (translation"). The Wii doesn't "feel" the insertion of the new Disc.

Then i try booting on Disc 2 (like Resident Evil remake, to pass through the change disc message) with my save (now fine with hex edit) just before the telescop room, a screen comes and says: "Open the tray and put the Disc 1", and all i can do is make the Wii "feel" that the disc is out but nothing happens when inserting: no blue light in tray and nothing else.

Voilà !

If anyone knows something to do : saves in another room (my save was in the hall of the mansion), wait for another rev, ..., please tell me.

I'm frustrated !!!!

Hope this post can help developpers because i'm a noob !!!

i found it like when the first backup launcher cameout
 
Hey, im having a problem saving Gamecube games on the GC bakup launcher 0.2
Im using my GC memory card in slot A with the GC loader.


The Error its returning is "The card is Corrrupt, Cannot save. Do you want to Format?"

Is this error due to saving NTSC and PAL games? Is there a way for me to save the games to my SD card.

The guy below said he had no problems. So what am I doing wrong.

[quote name='Arthas-Sama' post='1754769' date='Feb 5 2009, 03:14 PM']I have a pal MMC with PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J saves and there is no problem :/[/quote]



I also found that If I load an NTSC game[on my pal console] it runs in black and white[no matter what setting].
To fix it I had to load a Pal game[I use Metroid prime 3] Press Start On GC Backup Launcher. Eject the disk and insert the NTSC game I want to play.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
