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 all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here

DRM? How did Wiigator+Waninkok get a DRM in there? We're screwed!!!!

:P

Anyways, its kinda died down, but has anyone gotten N64 to GC games going?

Edit:
[quote name='Sairou' post='1759978' date='Feb 7 2009, 11:26 PM']by the way, has anyone gotten n64 emulated gc isos to work yet? I haven't been able to get any to work as of now.[/quote]
Lol I'm slow

Hmm not so clear there.... Even if I could make out most of the kanji... I can't read all of them.... Most I get out of that is its asking you to please do something... in the second sentence.... Best I can think is its saying it wants you to switch off the console and to please consult your manual.

Yeah, that's what I figured it might be. I was afraid of that...

posting to reply now. after like 3-5mins of loading, mario 64 ISO booted. seems to play full speed. pokemon stadium and star wars pod racer just shut down the machine though.

Edit: SM64 plays fullspeed!

Edit #2:Saving takes about 30 seconds-1 minute.

So does the "Has to be over 1Gb stand?" I'm on a Mac so not sure how to create more than 1 ISO on a Disk.

But I have a Windwaker at like 500mb, that I cant use right now, Unless I can use any Multi ISO to Disk App

[quote name='Golfman560' post='1760006' date='Feb 7 2009, 11:34 PM']Sstew can't you just find something to fill the iamge? 500MB is a waste of a DVD[/quote]


Exactly, What could I use to fill it?
Lol, Sorry if that sounded Noobish
 
Golfman560
Ummm... I'm not sure. I'd just find something that either runs on Mac or grab a USB stick and head to the nearest place with a Windows computer and compile the multigame there.

[quote name='LaoED' post='1760007' date='Feb 7 2009, 08:35 PM']Say Sairou, what DVD brand did you use to burn GNT4 with?

I used Maxell DVD -R.[/quote]
Memorex DVD-R here.

Edit: SM64 Loads up much quicker after the inital load. Only took like a couple seconds to start up this time. =]

The GC backup launcher isn't working for me. I have to use the wii launcher with rebooter to get the game to load. I'm using Super Mario Sunshine. Also using component cables.

[quote name='Mrkinator' post='1760019' date='Feb 7 2009, 11:41 PM']Isn't there a tool to make ISOs the right size?

I'll go find it, I can't remember what it's called...

On a Mac. .exe's aren't going to do much for me.

[quote name='Gaisuto' post='1759959' date='Feb 7 2009, 11:18 PM']The Wii just doesn't like that game, even with my legit copy. I doubt this will work with it being on a DVD-R, but with even the legit copy you had to take the disc out at the main menu then put it back in for it to work.[/quote]
Are you serious? My copy of the game works flawlessly on my Wii, I've never had any problems.

I got to thinking about something with the Wii GCN Backup Launcher.....there were quite a number of Gamecube games that were released that unless you actually own the disc, can't be found on the internet. So, I guess I want to know how every version of Madden does on the 0.1T :lol:

I'm especially curious about the following:

Virtua Quest
WWE WrestleMania X8 & XIX and the other WWE games released (Day of Reckoning, etc.)
Baiten Kaitos 1 & Origins
Evolution Worlds
Disney's Magical Mirror
Go! Go! Hypergrind
Lego Star Wars II
Odama
P.N.03
Radilgy
Shikigami no Shiro 2
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2 & 3
Ultimate Muscle
Zatch Bell

On a Yahoo Answers page I found this

"You could try bochs
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
or vmware
http://www.vmware.com/products/server/index.html
or WINE
http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX

Whether these would work, I don't know :P

vmware would be most stable option as your running windows literally from with in mac.. You just need a copy of windows to install under it and enough space to mess with ISOs... maybe 10-20gb.
