Purpose: Run GameCube backups on the Wii.

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.
Check first: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/Gam...patibility_List

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.

Ok, I identified that the problem is in the gc backup launcher and not sdboot (and possibly only occurs for multidiscs).
That name of the gci file is wrong, for Smash Bros for example:
--SuperSmashBros0110290334
instead of
01-GALE-SuperSmashBros0110290334

I guess it might not be finding the disc id wherever it's looking for it in memory.
Maybe someone who has a working single game disc, and a memory card that's compatible with NuGaSa could check if this happens to them as well.

I tried Skies of Arcadia Legends PAL, it doesn't run in PAL or PAL60 mode, but boots in NTSC or 480P mode. Similarily, NTSC mode runs considerably faster than 480P mode yet both display it at the same resolution (480i).


Edit: Saving constantly 'corrupts'.

I tried Wave Race Blue Storm, and i've got:

An error has occurred. Turn the power OFF and check GDN Instruction booklet

Since I don't know how to edit the Comp. List, I say it here.


Anyway, great work Wiigator ^^

[quote name='waninkoko' post='1759395' date='Feb 8 2009, 01:51 AM']Differences between my CMIOS and Wiigator's CMIOS.

- Mine is based on MIOS v8, Wiigator's is based on v5/v6 if I'm not wrong.
- My loader is a little more simple for newbies (insert disc and run, no need to choose for video mode).
- Includes support for my Multigame Loader (that I expect to release tomorrow).

That's all.[/quote]

I cant believe it runs off the disk channel! I really want Japanese games (especially dobutsu no mori plus) but thats hard to find. This is awesome tho. Thanks much!
 
Dr Eggman
I found that if I press A (Auto-detect) its not finding my memcard saves (3rd party, madcatz).
But if i press B (Patched MIOS) it does find the saves.

If you check the GCOS compatability for NTSC Wii, Metroid Prime 2 fails.

I 'm having a weird bug:

I tried Sonic Adventure Battle 2 (USA), but after choose the option (NTSC, PAL, 480p, etc..), appear a black screen and no video.
The weird thing is the Wii is still loading the game (like loading a normal game).

But in the GC matrix, this game have 100% compatibility :unsure:

is it possible to combine the wii backuploader and the gc loader into 1 loader application? (which then can be turned into a channel) ?

Unless I am mistaken, this is possible currently. Check your options when running the MIOS patcher.

Damn, NuGaSa doesn't work with original Memory Cards... :/

Guess I'll have to buy a new one now, lol.
