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.

[quote name='WiiGator' post='1751204' date='Feb 3 2009, 04:33 PM']The MIOS patcher allows you to choose between 2 version:
1. MIOS with homebrew and DVD-R support.
2. MIOS with homebrew and DVD-R support and GC Backup Launcher included.

The second version can be started from Wii Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma and from the Wii disc channel (Rebooter from Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma).
I don't have tested it, but it should work with the CIOSCORP stuff. If the GC game is started from disc channel, the power off button will work. Otherwise it will only reset the Wii.[/quote]

ok so wheres the patcher??

Well, since #2 says it includes the GC Backup Launcher. I assume this means the patcher will come out when the loader does.

Forgot to ask this, but I need to go and dont have time to read through,

Will these disk need to be patched at all?

Thanks
 
I
wait, this means that there is no separate procedure needed to play a gc backup through the disc channel (assuming cioscorp is installed), right?
 
S
can someone please explain to me what exactly the MIOS and CIOSCORP are for, and what they do. im newer and im trying to figure out the terms so please dont blast me with rage fueled responses. From what i have gathered atleast CIOSCORP lets region free games from the normal disk channel, and i think it also makes 99% or so of backup wii games work fine? am i correct with this (example: if i install CIOSCORP my metal slug anthology would let me play all the games not just a few) and the MIOS are some kind of drivers or something? im just trying to learn and figure things out and would appreciate some info, before the GC backup launcher is released. Totally siked for it, i really want to get some japanes games and stuff. Wii gator u make great stuff!

No patching necessary for the Gamecube disc.. Just burn the ISO as is. (Unless they find a game not to be working that they will require to be patched)

You guys are extraordinary! Finally i can use my backups instead of the ol' little discs ^^.

but im confused, where is the loader? i only see the mios, is the mios also the loader install?

Either way, if not, i don't really care about waiting for the loader, im just happy i can put my originals to rest.


Its unbelievable how homebrew has evolved, you can literaly make everything work on something thats wasnt made for it ^^

Hail to WiiGator and Waninkoko

I have a trimmed size rom "Mario Kart Double Dash" (468MB). Will it work if I burn it using ImgBurn ?

No! Minimal size is 1GB as WiiGator said. You need something to expand the ISO or wait for multigame-support.

I suspect ImgBurn will do the job tacitly.
