Mirror: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4757

In the source archive there are the binaries as archive included. You will need to first to extract gcbackup0.1_v7.tgz and then gcbackup0.1_theta.tgz.

Not all games are working and it still contains bugs. If you have a problem don't send me a message. Just post in the forum. You will get a faster answer.

Don't start complaining that a game is not working. You have the source code and can fix the bug. I do this in my free time and I don't get paid for it.

There is a video showing it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xak8qdMKbU&fmt=18

It is prohibited to use any of the software to illegally copy games, they are intended only to create and play legal backups of games that you own. In some countries or regions it is still illegal to make copies of games that you own, check with your local authorities if you are unsure. I cannot be held responsible for any misuse of these programs. The use of any of the above software is done so at your own risk. If you mess something up or anything undesirable (ie: loss of warranty, brick, lawsuits, jailtime) happens because of any of these programs, it is your own fault. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Short Instructions:
1. Run miospatcher
2. Press X (only one time!), if you want to use Wii Backup Launcher or Wii disc channel to start.
3. Press A
4. Run rungcbackup
5. Press A and play your game

This application theoretical can brick your Wii and make it unusable. It was written to be safe as possible. If something fails it should only have effect on the GameCube mode. You should still be able to use Wii mode and repair it by installing a MIOS with a WAD installer.

Thanks to WiiShizzza for the graphic

Thanks to all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here

[quote name='Dr Eggman' post='1759272' date='Feb 7 2009, 11:09 PM']Ok, just installed this. Works great! I used MIOS v4 / rungcbackup + Wii Backup Launcher to install. Is there a way to direct boot the backup from the disc channel without the Backuploader screen? IIRC, linkinworm did it.[/quote]
Yeh I want to know this aswell. :)
Thanks alot WiiGator, it works great!
 
Linkinworm uses Waninkoko's MIOS.

Can anyone mirror it?

I know I'm a tester and I already have this version, but I still want the source. :P

The only difference between WiiGator's MIOS and Waninkoko's is that Wanin's support's multidisc & disc channel, right?
 
Ahahaha a bug just happened to me. I was trying to install the MIOS with an USB adapter (which didn't work) and I came back to the sysmenu to change the connection. The sysmenu screen was like all white, seemed like it was zoomed all the way in the background, LOL. I could still see the cursor, which was as large as my 14" TV.

I just turned off my Wii and turned it back on and it was "fixed". hahaha...
 
Thanks for this Wiigator. I'm gonna chill out and wait until someone writes a tutorial. I figured that this would probably be as easy to set up as Backup Loader was, but I guess I'm still a newbie after all. ;)

Great job though bro. Seriously awesome stuff here. :)
 
Thank you very much. You rocks! Now I can play Megaman Network Transmission, Zelda Wind Waker, and a few other games I always want! Cheers!!

The difference is that in my version you need to press a button. At least that was the case in the last version which I have seen from Waninkoko.

You have to register on the Wiki to edit it. If you are registered, theres an edit button under the big header in the blue image thing that envelopes the page.

What do you mean? This game isn't working, I don't understand what you mean. Just go to the wiki and edit :)
