Preview GC Backup Launcher for Wii

The last days I was working on a loader for GC backups. This is only a preview. The release will be within the next week.

A tester made a video showing it in action. Sorry for the bad quality.

EDIT:Here is a better video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xak8qdMKbU&fmt=18

Here are some notes:

I tested it with the games I have. All games seem to be fully working. There may be games which are not working.

IOS249 with backup support need to be installed (e.g. my cIOS r7 from backuplauncher 0.3 gamma).

DVD speed is still limited to 3x.

There are sometimes problems with the DVD read speed. So there is sometimes a very short delay in a few games. The game play is only barely influenced. This was only the case for one of my games.

If you eject the disc, no disc can be detected after it. For 2 disc games use the second disc to boot, if you need to change the disc.

You will need to copy the following files to a SD card, if you don't have a internet connection (either Version 5 or Version 6, both is working). There are problems with the nintendo servers in the last time. You may not be able to download it.

EDIT: MIOS Version 4 is also supported.

MIOS Version 5

EDIT: MIOS Version 6 seems not to be available from the nintendo servers. I thought that I have used it in the past.

MIOS Version 8

It's amazing how far the wii modding community has come. Does it not seem like, right now, we are in the middle of the Wii modding life. Or maybe not the middle, but the time where there is so much stuff comming out at once. I swear, Things are popping out left and right in a matter of days. We have updates for old hacks, and things like preloader, and the health screen editor. I aslo saw somewhere that people have found other locations in the system menu to customize, So soon the wii menu will be fully customizable. And now this! A gamecube backup loader. This will really come in handy for a lot of people, including me. Especially because in order play backups on an original gamecube, you'd have to get a mods chip and either buy gamecube sized disks, or mod your case to support normal DVD's. Amazing

Lol! I've never heard of people pooping in their bed :P I had to say that.

Well after the sytemmenu and stuff are customized, what else is there to do? Basically all I can think of is getting stuff to run at full 6x and a few compatability fixes oh wait... making it legal (No copyright infringment) would be nice.

But who's changing the SD every 2 hours? SDHC does not work. Even if it's working...
Fat 32 does only support files up to 4GB. Waninkoko would have to implement some kind of "Auto-Split-And-Rename"-thing.
And a mode with an automated wii-shutdown would be nice too... :)

Wifi-dump doesn't work for me. The Wii breaks connection after a few hundred MB.

I was just trying to read what a Gamecube backup is even like, does anyone know what the story with .GCM is? Is this something that is burnable/playable or is it only for emulators? Thanks!
 
T
rename .GCM to .ISO and you can burn it with Imgburn or an another burn program that can burn iso files

[quote name='Blue-K' post='1748369' date='Feb 2 2009, 06:05 AM']Funny..yesterday my friend asked me if there's a Backup-Launcher for Gamecube-Games...I said: "No, and it will probably take some time, until there's one"...and bam, there's one the next day...Awesome, simply awesome work, Wiigator & Waninkoko (don't know if he also worked on it...looks like that)!!!

Oh, and I also made a quick, dirty Channel:



Not a stylisch one, I'll make a beautiful one when it's released...but I think this one matches to the situation that will happen to the Gamecube...it will drown in the sea of the pirates :P.[/quote]

Tip: Use all capital letters and it looks better. I figured that out with that font (Assuming you're using the Gamecuben font) :P

Edit: I'll whip up one right now :P

The link for tmd.6 doesn't work....I'm trying to get everything ready for this loader...does anybody have a working link for tmd.6? thanks....!!

Since it isn't looking for a signature, I assume this be able to run Action replay, for use with legit games?

I know you can do AR with MIOSv4, but this thing requires V5/V6.

Here's a rough draft, I can't remember if there's anything I have to change:
