GameCube Backup Launcher 0.2

[Inferior_Design]

Thanks WiiGator. I appreciate the work, but I'm going back to Xi until the bugs get worked out.

I've already updated the mIOS... Will Xi still work?

 

[nitrostemp]

yea it's fin just run the xi launcher

 

[Speedwagon33]

Yeah, that method seems to work thus far, Mr. Slayer

.

for the black and white problem,

1. start up the backup launcher with a working disc inserted
2. remove the disc
3. put in the black and white disc
4. press A or whatever button you need to press
5. game should be in color

note: i have only tried this once with pokemon xd but i think it works
note: may work for other video problems with backups (havent tested)

What do you mean working disc? Do you mean a legal copy of a game?
And do I have to do this every time I want to use the launcher?
Does anyone know of a permanent fix?

He means burn an NTSC game ALONE, and it will now double as a boot disk.......the multigame iso creator has a bug in which it wil ALWAYS export in PAL format, no matter what, so this is the only way to get the launcher to read your games in ntsc...

by working disc i mean a backup disc that hasnt had the black and white problem

eg. my pokemon xd backup was in black in white.
my f zero gx backup wasnt.
i put in my f zero gx backup disc.
load up gc backup launcher 0.2 and wait for it to come up with the disc name and loading options.
i take out f zero gx.
i put in pokemon xd and chose my prefered loading option (i chose pal 60 on my pal wii cos im unsure if auto works with my method or puts it back in b&w)
and then the health and safety warning on pokemon xd shows up in b&w but the rest of the game is in color fine.

by the way, is there a wad for 0.2 yet?

 

[nitrostemp]

why get a wad for .2 when you have a gamma channel?

I created a WAD for 0.2:

Ah, thanks for clearing that up for me.

i will check

btw, thanks for the wad buzbee

i think the black and white problem might be caused byQUOTE(WiiGator @ Mar 23 2009, 11:43 AM)

- The loader will change the screen format in Wii mode to the screen format of the disc inserted at startup (this solves NTSC problems).

so maybe we could pester wiigator to remove that feature

 

[Buzbee]

This WAD is useful if you don't want to go through the homebrew channel to launch. Otherwise, there is no difference.

I tried Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness NTSC. It plays in NTSC for me. I do not have this black & white problem some users keep complaining about. All my disks are NOT multigame discs (which could have the force PAL problem). All are are mini dvd-r. I am also patching v4 of the miospatcher for RCgamecube ONLY. I noticed the miospatcher can't download tmd.4 from Nintendo's servers so it gets skipped. Not sure if this is an issue or not.

- The loader will change the screen format in Wii mode to the screen format of the disc inserted at startup (this solves NTSC problems). is probably conflicting with starfall, preloader, etc. Any program that is capable of any kind of region changing would be suspect whether its for Wii mode or GC mode.

Did anyone notice there is a mios 9 on Nintendo's servers:

MIOS Version 9

This has been out since the 3.4 update last November. Wonder why everyone's using mios v8 or earlier.

after i made the update, the gamecube games seem to have a problem reading saved files from that were made on the previous launcher...i dont think saved files that were made using the previous launcher are compatible with this new release. Please look into this. Also, is there anyway to downgrade back to the previous launcher? Thank you

 

[Ryufushichou]

Great work wiigator! Thanks to thiss ill be able to finish beyond good and evil (finally). Now i just have to get my DS working

 

[Speedwagon33]

Ah damn, Baten Kaitos still froze on me =\.

 

[DeviousTom]

argh, the backup launcher is working fine (sorta), but all the original gamecube games (so the small gamecube sized discs) don't work, is this normal ? anyway to fix? ive had the gc backup launcher since it first came out and the gc discs didnt work on the early backup launcher versions, and it doesnt work on this latest one either.

neschn @ you - NICE WORK M@N

Backup launcher 0.1 theta saves arent read when using 0.1 xi or 0.2

i heard you can fix this by renaming your save files but i havent tested it

i just load my old saves with the 0.1 theta and my new ones with 0.2

 

[nitrostemp]

renaming saves works perfectly, its just an issue that the old one had with naming the files

 

[Levente]

Does the system menu 4.0 installed with waninkoko's updater have a bad effect on the cMIOS and GC backuplauncher?

 

[nitrostemp]

some things work something dont, its not worth updating
