Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

[quote name='WiiGator' post='1770418' date='Feb 13 2009, 12:27 AM']I tried Ikaruga. The game prints some strange strings. I want to know if this is valid Japanese or just a buggy debug output. At least I want to know what the last message means (this is printed shortly before "Error occured" is displayed). It doesn't seem to be a correct UTF-8.

You need to extract the file with the program gunzip (included in mingw/msys).[/quote]

This is valid Japanese. (shift-jis code)
This means

unload (or free)

I have a preloader issue, ok i had softmii 9.5 installed in my Wii and everything fine, and i selected that everytime i turn on my wii it boot preloader 0.27(cuz my RESET button doesnt work) But after I installed the Mios Patcher for the NGC Backup Loader (i installed Mios v0.4 with rungcbackups + Wii Backup Launcer) everytime i turn on my wii preloader doesn't appear anymore. I have tried every Mios Version (0.4, 0.5, 0.8) but nothing I even run Any Region Changer mod5 1.1b and installed a new, fresh 3.2U and installed softmii 1.0 but preloader does not appear. What i'm doing wrong? What i should do? Can someone help me?

I don't know what your problem was in the beginning, but after you ARC'd and installed 3.2u again, preloader was overwritten with your sysmenu. You can reinstall it to get it back.

Edit... I read it over and you said you installed Softmii after you used Any Region Changer. I'm assuming preloader was reinstalled here. You'll probably need to run preloader hacks remover to reset the preloader options. try that, and maybe look for help on the forums as this doesn't seem to really be a GC Loader issue.

So I have a very strange problem that I can't see that anyone has had yet. I installed the mios(v8) and set it to gcbackuplauncher + Wiigator Backup Launcher. Now I can't play any Wii backups through the Gamma Launcher. What's more, I completely uninstalled everything and went to remod my Wii (to only play Wii backups) and went I get to the part where I need to install the cIOS r7 it just sits on the screen where it says Press A to continue or press any other button to restart Wii. My controller stays on and I can't press ANY button, I have to get up and completely turn it off. Please, help, lol.

That just happened to a friend... So we installed waninkoko cios rev7 through wad manager (so u need to have cios rev7 wad) and then we installed a backup launcher channel (as when run fron homebrew resulted in a weird problem... the menu wasnt show, we couldnt do anything).

You can't then even navigate round the map, so you have to press B to dismiss it and get back to the game - it goes away VERY slowly, at ~1fps or so. Once back in the game, the framerate returns to normal, but all the graphics are then corrupted: EVERYTHING is out of focus - not just objects in the distance as usually happens (since the game uses depth of field blur), and light sources that aren't even visible on-screen (like round a corner for example) start to cast halos over the screen even when you haven''t actually got near them...you can't get the game to return to normal until you reboot the Wii[/quote]

I actually have run into the same issue on a single game disc burn of windwaker and only the Forbidden Fortress area seems to be affected. Once that part of the game is complete and you end up on Windfall Island, everything is back to normal. Map works and graphics are fine.

Btw, this is with a US Wii, v8 MIOS patched, same thing through both the gcloader and the gamma loader directly and rebooted, 480i and 480p.

Nice to know!. I'll play through that dungeon later on and report back to see if the PAL version is OK from that point on, too. Very odd bug, that it affects that game at that point in particular only - can anyone comment on why this might be?

WIND WAKER BUG!!!! *SERIOUS*

Oh dear - a real shame - the problem came back again as soon as I went into another proper dungeon. After leaving the Forbidden Fortress dungeon, it all returned to normal - whilst sailing the map displayed correctly, but when I started the next dungeon proper (Dragon Roost Cavern) as soon as I got the dungeon map, I tried again - exactly the same thing. This really is a major bug IMO - using the map in large dungeons is crucial in Zelda games...at the moment, you can't use it at all really...

I notice that it's marked GREEN in the compatability list - I'd be tempted to mark it ORANGE purely on the basis that the dungeon map is more or less compulsory later in the game if you want to play it properly without cheating and resorting to a walkthrough etc.

Has anyone managed to find out a way to overcome this? Different CIOS, perhaps? I'm using patched v5 (done through Wiigator's app included with the loader).

No, so far there is no solution to this problem. It's on green because in the opinion of the people that confirmed it before you, the dungeon map is unimportant. I've gotten through the first 4 dungeons without it just fine. Now, if the SEA map wasn't readable, then we'd have a problem.

Just wait a month and maybe someone will have a fix.

Yeah, I had the no menu problem BEFORE, thats why I tried to reinstall all of this stuff...I have NO idea what to do. I can play gamecube games...but no Wii games.

To everyone who had the problem that I had, I just installed RiskiiMod2.0 and it fixed it. The only problem is that i can't play any of my old patched games So maybe an actual answer will pop up for this issue and it can be fully fixed, but at least I can play SOME of my Wii games.

I would have guessed your problem was caused by a gamecube memory card in slot 2. And you should be able to run Gamma when you have Risikiimod installed. But anyway i thought SoftMii is the new version of Riskiimod, so why do you install it?

I did, i'm just used to calling it Riskiimod, idk. And I DID have a memory card in Slot B, idk what the heck I was thinking thanks for the help!

=/ I get an error code when I try to customize the MIOS

I was wondering if the GBA to GC cords are compatible with this backup launcher yet. If it isnt, I would recommend trying to get it working (sometime) so that those who downloaded Four Swords Adventures can actually make use of it

(or any other game people download that need to use one)

Actually, I don't think that the GBA cables for the gamecube are compatible with the Wii at all. Sorry.

I've tried it with windwaker, it worked for me on the wii.

Hey guys a little help please!
I've used the wii backup loader without problems!

When trying to start a gamecube game with this one my TV goes blank like it has lost the signal from the wii! This happens after selecting the option of screen mode for the loader! I've tried a couple games that are on the compatibility list as working, in all the screen modes i can select, still the same result!

hopefully something simple i'm missin!

Have you tried re-patching the mios? Maybe it didn't go through the first time. Also, at what part exactly does your screen go blank, after you choose to load a game or when you load the gc-launcher. What exactly are you using to load the gc games, and what media are you burning to(brand, type of dvd). The more we know, the better we can help.

Thanks for quick response!

Yeh i've repatched the mios twice to be sure!
The screen goes blank just after i press a button to select the screen type for the game e.g Press A button for auto or L for PAL 60!
I'm using Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta!
The DVD media i'm using is the same i've used for the wii backups as i have had no problems with them at all! Its TDK brand DVD +R with the book type set to DVD-ROM in imageburn, i have been burning at 4x!

From what I've read, +R doesn't seem to work at all with GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta, but I may have read wrong. That could be your problem. Also, the mios patcher is a little vague, if you try a network install, and it doesn't connect, it still says it's patched, so make sure that's not happening, and try a dvd-r

I'll give the patcher another go and keep an eye on it!

Thanks for your help!

When installing the MIOS from the internet, it says "failed to allocate buffer for encrypted content, size was 408". Can I fix this from my Wii, or will I have to manually download the files? Hopefully I can fix this without having to get to a computer with SD card support.
Also, I'm reinstalling the MIOS because the GC backup launcher was kicking me back to the Health & Safety warning screen. That was a MIOS problem, right?
