Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

Purpose: Run GameCube backups on the Wii.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N6946KPF
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.

Alright, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but all the folders in the zip are the source, correct? And I just unzip the zip within the...erm, zip, and then put those on my memory card, and I put the MIOS on the root of my card as well...right?

I'm really a n00b when it comes to this stuff, so I just want to be sure I'm doing it right before I proceed with this.

Thanks in advance for the help with this.

Yeah, the file he provided is the source, but includes the compiled stuff inside another zip file. you use those files and put them on your SD card (It should only be 2 folders)

That should be all you need, the instructions in the zip which contains the actual compiled gc backuplauncher are pretty easy to follow, so you should be ok.

I just want to know what the actual difference is between the MIOS that wanin posted on his site and the ones that are mentioned in the readme.

Yes :)

Actually I couldn't get it to boot up with Riiski/Softmii. I have to load the Launcher to boot it, because the Disc Channels automatically reboots my Wii. :/

I don't believe so right now. Go find a memory card or play without one for now.

And Mrkinator check your PMs real quick.

No. When the Wii is in Gamecube mode it essentially is a Gamecube.

It's physically blocked to Wii features.

To run through the Disc Channel, I believe you need to have cIOSCORP/Riskii/SoftMii.

I can run through the DC perfectly, SoftMii could be why :unsure:

I don't see why, since SoftMii is just Riiski with newest preloader (which I have) and custom health screens, right?

Oh well, it's working, that's what matters now. Just reported on the compab. list that Fire Emblem works just fine. :D

Thanks again, WiiGator!

Thank you WiiGator, Waninkoko and all other helpers :)

I didnt have to patch the mIOS as I had already patched it in order to get SDGecko to work.

I must say the games that stop and stutter on SDBoot work flawlessly on this backup launcher.
