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.
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.

Thanks to WiiShizzza for the graphic
Thanks to Waninkoko
Thanks to ppc_gba
Thanks to all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here
Thanks to all testers

[quote name='TyRaNtM' post='1759683' date='Feb 7 2009, 05:49 PM']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:[/quote]

my sonic ab2 runs perfect, usa iso / usa wii 3.3U, Mios v4

my backup loader is not working.i put everything that has to be in the apps folder.i'm using mios v8 and i have cios installed.

i get dvd error 345 does that mean the game doesn't work or do i have a file placed in the wrong folder.

i'm trying to see if dragon ball z budokai 2 works.

EDIT
never mind i forgot to just put a folder in my sd card.

I'm going to cry I'm so happy and grateful...I've been posting a few threads about this awhile back...before it got way out of hand and now I'm sitting here playing Paper Mario Thousand Year Door.....

Yes, it still has some games to get fully working, but man..is this awesome or what guys?!?!?! WOOHOOO!!!

[quote name='Wiimote' post='1759600' date='Feb 7 2009, 05:17 PM']ppc_gba in the future you can save on SD?[/quote]

maybe if you get a wiikey adapter for sd card, but not from the sd slot, unless someone finds some new security flaw in the starlet. I don't think games will save to wiikey->sd card as of now, so just buy a real memory card.

Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 does not work, after main menu pops up with sakura, it has the GC disc error.

How do I put this in the Wiki? Or can someone be kind enough to do it for me..

I used Maxell DVD-R brand btw.
 
J
This "error has occurred" error is a little strange...it must be a group of games that load up slightly different and it's not communicating with the mios / loader.... strange indeed though, they are all the same error.

No, it absolutely cannot be because of that...I'll tell you why...I have HDTV with component cables...and 3.2 U NTSC with Mios v5....why are some of you using v4? Use V5 darnit...

With the above in place Thousand Year Door is VERY colorful....

Hey, made a multiboot disc with MultiGameISOCreator (GCOS based I think), I had three games:
Cubivore - NTSC
Mario Soccer - PAL
Pikmin - NTSC

It just autobooted Cubivore, but hey, Cubivore works great at least :)

Thanks for the great loader WiiGator, plus I'm lovin' the disc channel support!

NTSC-U

Thank you so much. I look up to people like you who create these awesome things.

I just have a question. How is PAL and NTSC with this? As in, can I run PAL on NTSC or vice versa?

Thanks again.

Your TV isnt getting a signal from the Wii then...

How can so many people NOT know how to edit the Wiki...?? This is absolutely essential so we can put all the information collected in one place. You do NOT need to sign up for an account - all you have to do is go to the section where the game is located on the Wiki and UNDER the game click the "edit" button......if you want to ADD a game..just go to the section that is the letter of the beginning of the name of the game you want and add your info there just the same as the other games (use those as an example). Before you can fully save the edit it will ask you to answer a simple question..it's usually a math question just answer it and then click save at bottom.

Wait I'm having the same issue with any game I put in... What exactly did you do? Oh and I'm using Memorex DVD +R's I hope you don't have to use -R or I'm out of luck tonight and down 3 wasted DVDs.
