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 Waninkoko

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

So has anyone gotten DVD+R's to work on this?

Using Memorex DVD+R (which work fine for all my Wii games);

When I burn it as a Normal DVD+R in ImgBurn, the loader will recognize the game, but when I select an option to boot it, it freezes on a green screen.
When I burn it as a DVD-Rom booktype in ImgBurn, the loader will give a "345" error.

This is so awesome,I just spent 4 hours playing TimeSplitters 2 multiplayer.
All of my backups worked except Rogue Squadron 2,but that was a .gcm file
Has anyone else had problems with them?[/quote]


rename the .gcm to .iso and burn it like normal.

The compatibility list looks good, except of the fact that Pokemon XD doesnt work :(.

If you have Wii Lan Adapter then you dont need those files. Just installing MIOS that came with this loader folder. Those files are for people who do not have internet.

No, I am saying I tried both methods...and both give the same "hash BAD" error

Waninkoko's mios allows games that have 2 discs right? The game I have in mind is Tales of Symphonia.

Some of the none working games listed on the compatability list, dont work due to them needing the Audiofix.
i.e. Waver Racer, Ikaruga, and The Zelda Collection.

are you using a modified cIOS? you HAVE to use the one that came with wiigators gamma wii launcher. i tried installing the cMIOS when i had the modified rockband cIOS and i got the same error. i uninstalled it, installed wiigators, and problem was solved! (idk if that will be the case for you...)

You guys do know that mios' get overwritten right? If you installed one, then another, you are not gonna have both. Also action replay does not work with any miosv5 and above.


ALSO, it's a beta!! Obviously you are going to run into issues. You guys take things for granted. If a problem happens, accept it.

Yes, yes.
I was wondering if this might be the problem, but didn't want to go through the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling.
Beisdes I'll take Rockband over gamecube compatibility
Thanks much

Is there a download for the "RVL-mios-v8.wad" that is needed for Waninkoko's custom MIOS? I checked and none of the games I backed up have it, so I can't get it myself. :(

EDIT: Got it, thanks!

[quote name='Golfman560' post='1761630' date='Feb 8 2009, 10:14 PM']Did you check Gamecube games or Wii games for the MIOS?[/quote]

Cubegames never had updates on the discs...
So only a Wii game (e.g. the new Pikmin-Wii-port) does have the required WAD.
 
Golfman560
ZerO I was asking because someone asked me in a PM why his Gamecube games didn't have the MIOs on them.
 
acesniper
Well since I don't have the Pikmin New Play Feature, can someone PM me the mios v8.wad. Thanks
 
kedest
Why does this overwrite the original mios?
can't it just install it as a new one and use that, like the Wii backup launcher uses ios 249?
