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.

I don't mean to add to the confusion, but just sharing.

Wind waker black screens on me 0_0

I don't know why these games don't work (also f-zero, but that does get to a logo screen), could it be because they are shrunk with gcmutility? they are both > 1GB but slightly shrunk.

I will test an original unshrunk iso now (beach spikers pal).

Min DVD-R will work since they're just smaller DVD's, however its a waste of $. You can get full sized DVDs for cheaper and you can usually put multiple games on one DVD

Has anyone tried shrunken images?

Mini DVD's aren't a waste of time. Some of us actually like to make out collections look official. Luckily Nintendo still sells GameCube DVD cases so I'm planning to buy GameCube and Wii DVD cases in bulk. Oh--- That wasnt my reason for making my post...I was ranting but anywho. May someone please ADD "WWE Day of Reckoning 2" NTSC to the list as working. I can confirm that I was able to play, save and load with the game :D

I read, (it's on this thread) that you need to push left or right on the Directional pad before boot or something

How does this work with games using more than one disc? Like Baten Kaitos...how do you "change" the disc? I guess if I burn them on 2 different DVDs I can do it the normal way, but what if they are on a multi-disc?

for now, that won't work
when the game asks you to switch the disc, the wii will again have to be fooled into accepting the backup. the current loader can't do that (yet)

Use the RunGCBackup app from the Homebrew Channel and it will give you options. Hit elft or right on the GC controller to change the game.

Anyone know how to get Action Replay/Cheats working? My retail and backup copies failed.

Ahh. I think I will use mini dvd-r because I only have a few backup GameCube games. I will be fine with them and here they are:

Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princcess
Luigi's Mansion
Super Mario Sunshine
Megaman Network Transmission
Megaman X Command Mission
Megaman Anniversary Collection
Megaman X Collection
Scaler
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Dragon Drive: D-Masters Shot (JP only)

That's about it. ;)
