[WiiGator]

Purpose: Run GameCube backups on the Wii.

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.

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.

Wiigator I hope you haven't gone to bed because you just cheated your way by copying and pasting. The compatibility links is:

I don't use backups, but WiiGator I must thank you for releasing your source code. Not many people in the wii scene have been doing this, and it almost never hurts anyone to have it out there,

Nice job.

Someone should make a bug report thread so that people don't flog the blog section.

Ok, just installed this. Works great! I used MIOS v4 / rungcbackup + Wii Backup Launcher to install. Is there a way to direct boot the backup from the disc channel without the Backuploader screen? IIRC, linkinworm did it.
