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

I hope it's released with the source. And if, i guess WiiGator is cleaning up the code for the release. I really want to look at the code too and not just use the loader, so i don't mind if the release takes its time, while there are no "technical" changes between the test version and the release version. While cleaning the code you sometimes find bugs in the code, even if this bugs didn't cause any problems until then.

Here is some clarification:

Waninkoko told me that he haven't yet written the multigame stuff. He thinks that linkinworm misunderstands something.

I worked on multigame support and I got it working in my loader. The first games are working and playable including Resident Evil Disc 1. The last game (Resident Evil Disc 2) on the disc should tell me to insert disc 1, but I only got a black screen. I didn't checked this yet.

As you can see by test reports, some games are not working and I need to check these games first.

I want to release it with source code.

take your time, WiiGator :)
we're all thankful for your work! And I for one would rather wait a bit longer but have a better loader to play with, that supports 2-disc games and all.

Um. No, Maybe I read it wrong, but he said, he can get Disk 1 games working, but the Disk 2 games simply show a black screen instead of asking for disk one.

Unless you mean loading more than one game onto a DVD, in Which case, Waninkoko hasn't written up anything to get that working for the first release
