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.

You extract it using WinRar or some other form of extractor. Then read the readme.txt file in WordPad

Trying and trying with backups, i have problems with nearly all.
I think that OR the GC Backup Launcher or the cIOS have a bug with TV detection OR a problem inside the program itself.
We need to wait to a more stable release.

Anyway.. a great app! :yayds:

Inside the file you download from here there is another zip that you have to extract. The two files you get from extracting, place them in the apps folder in your SD card. Once your done load up the homebrew channel and run miospatcher. Press X and then A. Once your done with that all you have to run is the Gamecube Backup Launcher and press A to start your game.

Edit- Someone already answered.. :)

Okay, if I didn't hit "X" then A, can I go back into MIOS patch, "Remove Patch" then reinstall?

Oh, anyone know an app for the Multi ISO Gamecube Creator Thing.. for a Mac

Alright from a NOOB

So far I understand the below

1)) I create a folder called "apps" in my sd card

2) Copy the two folder "miospatcher" and "rungcbackup" into the "apps" folder

Now to where I copy the MIOS files ( any version ) to ?

To the root of SD CARD or to the "apps" folder ?

Thanks

"Failed to read DVD 345" error? Am I getting it because something is not setup right or is it because I'm using +R dvds when I see people here using -R dvds?[/quote]

Yes!! It will absolutely NOT load DVD+R - you can use DVD+R, just change the booktype to DVD-R -
you can do this in Imgburn IF your burner supports bitsetting...if it does, click the book on the bottom right hand corner of the Imgburn screen, select your DVDBurner type...then change the current setting. ENJOY.
[/quote]
Not sure if it supports it or not... Suppose I'll find out... If not ill go pickup some -R's tomorrow.
Edit: I set it to DVD-ROM is that correct?
[/quote]

Yes. Then click change. After that is done...try reburning your game then load it up and post so we'll see if it works or not.

[quote name='fst312' post='1759836' date='Feb 7 2009, 10:05 PM']i'm still getting that error 345 and i'm using a dvd-r. its a samsung.sometimes i see the gamecube symbol in the wii menu but it just rests my wii when i choose it.then i go to the launcher i get the error.[/quote]
Well I couldn't get ImgBurn to write the disc... No error... It would go to write, finish and when I pull out disc there would be nothing on it. I did manage to find one -R in my house but even that gives me the 345 error. Any ideas?
Edit: Got it to write to the +R with DVD-ROM booktype set but still 345 error just the same.

As in the readme file:

for e.g. "http://nus.cdn.shop.wii.com/ccs/download/0000000100000101/tmd.4 copy to SD /00000001/00000101/v4/tmd.4"
so it should look like this:

SDROOT/Apps/miospatcher
SDROOT/Apps/rungcbackup
SDROOT/00000001/00000101/v4/tmd.4
SDROOT/00000001/00000101/v4/cetk
SDROOT/00000001/00000101/v4/00000003
SDROOT/00000001/00000101/v4/00000004

Hope that helps.

In reguards to the "Failed to read DVD 345" error... I've tried a +R set to DVD-ROM booktype and a DVD-R. My wii is 3.3U and should be running the v8 MIOS..... I also have a v6 cIOS.... I had all the IOS' downgraded today just so I could install wad files again and use GCBoot along with SDLoad to load backups off my SDcard through my SDGecko.... Which works but as many of you I'm sure know that audio sounds like.... **** sometimes... That's why I love this I just wish it would work for me.

For MIOSpatcher you must have the miosv8.wad (<--Thats not the full name) file in the SD-Root.
