Preview GC Backup Launcher for Wii

[quote name='jinxvorheeze' post='1757860' date='Feb 7 2009, 06:52 AM']People need to stop asking for more features/new features. Let him get an initial release, then let him add stuff to it at his own pace. This reminds me of the Wan Backup Loader release and eventually it was leaked and then abandoned. We don't need a repeat of that.[/quote]

I don't really understand what the problem is with the backup loader,it has worked for every Wii backup that I own (except Medal of Honour 2)
Why whine about it?

Also,nobody is really forcing him to add features to the GC backup loader,just making suggestions,which should be welcomed

You would have to have been around at the time of the pre to understand what the problem was. And no, the original loader didn't load alot of stuff. Infact there is thread after thread of compatibility charts about the original leaked loader. It wasn't until WiiGator made his own based on the GeckoOS source that we saw real improvement. Please don't make one of your first posts a flame and expect to be liked around here, especially since your post made it seem like you hadn't read my post at all. You took it completely out of context.

*Edit* I said first post as your post count is "0"

My first post? You seem to be the one that's not paying any attention.
I'm not flaming anybody I just think it's better to let people voice their ideas,instead of making them shut up and keep it to themselves.You never know,a good idea can seemingly come from out of nowhere.

I'm not here to make new friends,especially someone as arrogant as you.

What you need to understand young padawan, is that the hacking scene of the wii is somewhat... sensitive.

When you walk through a gallery of art you don't stand there and say "OH THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ACCOMODATE MY NEEDS". No, you simply stand there, shut up and appreciate it's beauty.
The same approach needs to be taken with a first release of anything.

Yes, it's good for people to voice their opininons and throw suggestions out there. But how can someone throw a suggestion out there if they haven't tried the original product? That's why we have version based releases.

In due time, the project could be a little more developed with better features and key structure support. But right now, it's a matter of getting the base-work down and ensuring it works to some degree.

Perhaps you need to take a little step backwards and realize that not everyone wants to trample on your precious heart, but rather giving you some pointers.
To which I'm sure you'll reply you don't need my pointers because I'm just as arrogant as jinxvorheeze, hmmmm?

I don't know how many times this has come about this thread... but take this time as not a moment to sit by your F5 key - but rather ensure you have some decent backup's to try on it....
Better yet... go watch Robocop or something? ....Better yet, go to the pub! Like I'm about too! Huzzah!

Fair enough,
It's just extremely annoying when you go on to a forum and see some apparent "know-it-all" shut down someone that is just making a simple recommendation.
I know there isn't any existing version released,but it could be something for the creators of the backup launchers to think about for future releases.
I think that people are just stressing out,thinking that it will be released later due to someone recommending a feature.

What do you mean by my precious little heart? and my apparent needs? that came out of nowhere..
I'm probably the easiest to please out of everyone,I just want single game DVDs to load.

Also my excuse for my f5-ing is i'm stuck here (work)

CABIN FEVER.

Oh man here comes the 2 pages of lectures again

How else do children learn?

Come back when your postcount is above zero.

The thing is, devs like WiiGator get pestered by tonnes of people for feature requests. Patience newcomers, do not ask until the author starts accepting feature requests.

Remember how the original backup loader went? People were too impatient, and it got leaked, abandoned and so on. The 0.1 release of backup launcher was so unfiinished, it was more of a proof of concept.

Take what you are given. If you want more, make it your self!

STFU.
If I write a Final Fantasy fan fiction will you love me?

Don't think this kind of a question has been asked before, but I still feel like a noob asking it. Anyway, would an iso of only Majora's Mask work with the loader. And I'm not reffering to the Collectors Edition, just Majora's Mask.

Umm... How can I put this...

Majoras Mask is a N64 Game. Not GC. So to be played on GC it would have to be in some sort of GC Nintendo containe sort of emulator. Like discussed above.
I dont think Majoras Mask will end up being emulated, theres tonnes of issues emulating it due to the RAM pack, and other components.
Just play it on computer, works perfect

If you remember back to the GC days, you would know there was a zelda Emu disc that you could inject Zelda Majoras Mask on and Boot it in a GC or with a moded wii, or run it though the Sd-Boot it actually played Great, I remember using it myself, it did have problems Saving though if i remember correctly but i think that was only a problem running though Sd-Boot not sure

But i would just prefer to use the Zelda Colection Disc that contains Majoras mask on it, I'm sure the problem will get fixed soon enough on the loader

But how come the Majoras Mask from the Collector's Edition works, I don't think that it gets emulated on the Wii (does it?).

wiigator salvation, I am Belgian and I used a translator therefore sorry if you do not really want a bien.Voila I congratulate you for everything you did as the backup launcher, and the backup launcher gamecube.Jusement I have any questions: - is what multigame work (his might - have been saying already but as I say I do not understand English)
- A method to launch on gamecube n64 rom to replace the rom in zelda oot on gamecube was created. Is that its launch may be like that?
voila I look forward to your response and the release of backup launcher.

Correct. GC games on Wii isn't emulation.

The Collector's Edition disc contains a basic N64 emulator for GC, using it to run the Majora's Mask rom.

Such roms have been extracted to play in other emulators. This is why Master Quest was able to be injected into a wad.

But injecting doesn't work on Majora's Mask. The game requires the Expansion Pak, which VC currently does not support.

is what is launched by the disc channel?

Yes. So, Makora's Mask doesn't get emulated, right, so it should work on the GC Backup Launcher right?

The problem is that this collectors edition uses seperate DOLs for each game in the collection. If I understand correctly, it does run at the moment, but it's unable to return to the menu after running a game.

I wouldn't worry about that though; I think it will be fixed soon enough.

What's funny is that i've read this whole thread and there were maybe 1 or 2 posts that should at worst be discarded as ''unnecessary'' (mods took care of that).

Yet there are atleast 5 pages filled with people cracking down on, what seems as, hallucinations of offencive posts.
I usually try to avoid posting about/reacting to people who get offended and feel the need to ''defend'' Wiigator, Waninkiko, or whatever developer and whatever project, but i think it's really getting annoying.

EVEN IF someone posted a suggestion that's unnecesarry, or was asking for more when they didn't have the right to, Wiigator, i'm sure, has the brains to realize this himself and just not bother to react to it at all.
So... Yeah.
