http://www.iol.ie/~taz/backuplauncher0.3_gamma.zip

=========================
Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma

What is included:
- cIOS Installer
- Backup Launcher 0.3 with banner

Changelog:
0.3 gamma
- Optimised speed
- Higher compatibilty
- Support loading 1:1 backups from disc channel

Note: This version is faster, but some videos will play a little bit too slow. This also depends on the quality of your DVD media.

0.3 beta
- Cinematic now working properly
- Wi-Fi Enabled
- Faster Load time
- Drive speed is still 3x. It is so fast that some testers believed it is running at 6x.
- Supports non-patched and patched Wii games (The correct term for "patched" is "decrypted")
- Not all games will work, but as of now most do.

Some parts are modification of free available source code, and are unsupported and not condoned by the original authors of it. The backup loader modification is solely the work of WiiGator.
Thanks to Waninkoko for the speed optimisation.
Thanks to WiiShizzza for the graphic.
Thanks to all testers.

Before you use the software check, if this is the offical version by comparing the hash values.

---------------------
F.A.Q.s
---------------------

Q. What does it do?
A. Play Wii backups on your non-modded Wii.

Q. Do all games work?
A. This is only a beta version. Not all games will work, but as of now most do.

Q: Where do I get support for it?
A: I do this in my free time. So you need to search in the internet for forums like http://gbatemp.net.

Q: Where do I get an update?
A: You will get updates at my blog: http://gbatemp.net/?act=module&module=...member=WiiGator

Q: When will it support ... and when will be released?
A: I do this in my free time, so I don't know.

Q: How do I start a game from the disc channel?
A: You need to start Backup Launcher and press button "B" (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGU52_ttd9o&fmt=18). The NAND flash is not changed for this feature. The support works until you go back to the Wii System Menu or reset the Wii. The feature may not work, if you have Starfall installed.

Q: Should I install an update from a game backup?
A: No. This is untested and by default disabled.

Q: I started a game from the disc channel and then I go back to the Wii System Menu. Why I can't start the next game from the disc channel?
A: Backup Launcher need to be started again to launch the next game.

Q. What does patched games means and do I need it?
A. This was used in the first version. The game application was decrypted. It is not needed anymore. 1:1 backups have higher compatibility than patched games.

Q. How do I run it?
A. Seems you don't know anything about homebrew yet:
- You need to install http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel.
- You will need http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Twilight_Hack and the game "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" to install the channel.
- Create the directory apps in the root of your SD card.
- Copy Backup_Launcher and cIOS_Installer to the directory apps.
- Put the SD card into the front SD slot of your Wii.
- Then run the homebrew channel.
- First install cIOS and then run Backup Launcher.

Q. I can't install cIOS, I keep getting an error. How do I fix this?
A. You need to downgrade your Wii. I suggest not to uninstall IOS249 until you are sure that you have downgraded your Wii.

Q. Do I need the new cIOS to play games?
A. Yes.

Q. Does Wi-Fi work?
A. Yes, some games have been tested and they work. Though we're not sure if all of them work. Newer games which use IOS37 seems to be slow.

Q. I have a problem, will you fix it?
A. Post it in the Backup Launcher thread and beta testers or someone can help you.

Q. Can I be a beta tester?
A. You have already something what you can test.

Q. Will this brick my Wii?
A. There is a slim chance that it will. I have installed the cIOS countless times with no problems. But just make sure you follow the onscreen instructions. It is possible that someone puts malicious software on a game disc. I suggest to run only games which are correctly signed by Nintendo! You can check this for example by running extractpartition. Don't install updates from a burned game disc of a different region, this was already reported to brick your Wii, when using a hardware modchip. Note: The Wii System Menu is not changed in the flash, so launching from disc channel should be safe.

Q. My game doesn't start. What should I do?
A1. The loader isn't perfect. It will probably be fixed in the next update.
A2. Try to launch it directly from Backup Launcher (First menu entry, Button "A").
A3. Try to launch it using the disc channel (Button "B").
A4. Check if IOS is correctly installed. The used IOS version is shown in the bottom right corner and should be IOS249. If IOS249 is not displayed, you need to install the cIOS.
A5. Try to change the hook type in the configuration.

Q. Does it load GameCube backups?
A. No. GameCube backups are shown in the disc channel, but can't be started (just reboot).

Q. Does it play old games like Twilight Princess and Red Steel?
A. Twilight Princess is working, Red Steel is not working. Some old games are not working.

Q. Do I need dvdx?
A. No. Just ignore it and forget that it could be in anyway related to this program.

Q. There is a online or disc update available from Nintendo, should I update it?
A. NEVER MAKE ANY UPDATE FROM NINTENDO!!! This can make the backup launcher unusable. There are better ways to do this. If you make an update, you may not be able to install this.

Q. Where does cIOS install?
A. It installs on the NAND flash of your Wii. It uses IOS249 v7.

Q. Is this easy to uninstall if I decide I dont want it?
A. Yes - most of the install files can be removed with the WAD manager - the rest just delete off the SD card.

Q. I'm getting an error with : DVD Read Error when I try to run a game - why ?
A. This is a burn media issue - don't use DVD REWRITABLES and try a different disc/drive/burn speed. You need to change the book type of DVD+R.

Q. I'm getting an error with (game graphic): Disc eject and RTFM - why ?
A. Eject the disc and insert it again. This is a burn media issue - dont use DVD REWRITABLES and try a different disc/drive/burn speed. You need to change the book type of DVD+R.

Q. I don't have Wi-Fi, how can I install it?
A. You need to download the following files with your computer:
http://nus.cdn.shop.wii.com/ccs/download/0...000024/tmd.1042
http://nus.cdn.shop.wii.com/ccs/download/0...0100000024/cetk

Create the directory /00000001/00000024/v1042/ in the root of your SD card. Copy all downloaded files to this folder and put the SD card in the front SD slot.

Q. Why is Super Smash Bros. Brawl is not working?
A. Dual layer DVDs are not supported in this release. You need to shrink it.

Q. My patched/decrypted game is not starting with the disc channel - Why?
A. Patched/decrypted games are not support by the disc channel, because there are some parts of the disc removed.

[quote name='anuanu' post='1714025' date='Jan 18 2009, 09:04 AM']Hello all, I just bought my Wii like 4 days ago and my first thought was(after spending nearly $500)was to find out how to make backup copies of my games. After many hours of not knowing what i was doing i decided to find my game(Zelda: TW) on the internet via ISO. I downloaded the ISO and also downloaded a ISO burner and went to the store and bought some DVD-RW So i used the ISO burner to burn the ISO and then tried to play the backup copy of my game on my "un-chipped" Wii but it didnt work. So I found this site and found the backup launcher. I tried to follow the simple directions but i kept getting some kind of error when trying to install/update the cIOS. (Yes i have the homebrew channel and TW hack)

Could someone help this poor retarded souls :)[/quote]
try just DVD-R and burn w/ imgburn.

Hello every one,

I am sort of new at this but understand most of it.

I have bought a modded system which has Wii gator 3 Beta on it already.

It came with a backup copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes burned on a hp DVD-R.

This wii has a firmware version of 3.1U and has Homebrew channel and backup channel installed.

Problem is when I try to play another backup We Ski

...always comes up with the error message
An error has occurred.
Press the EJECT Button, remove the
Game Disc, and turn the power off,
Please read the Wii Operations Manual
for more information.

This leads me to believe I need the new Gamma version rather than the Beta.

How do I safely add Gamma?

Do I just follow the steps after homebrew is installed?

Do i have to delete or Uninstall something before I begin?

As it is now modded and all with the homebrew channel and Backup channel with Wii Gator 3 Beta. Do I need more than Just the SD card and correct files , like a game disc or be connected to the internet?

Oh and by the way this wii has never been connected to the internet.

Can i do the Gamma install without connecting to the internet?

Lets see how far we get before I get ahead of myself here...

thanks a lot for your help and wealth of knowledge.

You don't have to uninstall something before upgading to BL0.3g.

http://www.iol.ie/~taz/backuplauncher0.3_gamma.zip

Just install the cIOS which is in the zip. It will replace the old one.

You have to have Wiifi enabled or manualy download the necessary files and put them on sd.

So everything u have to do is:

1. get the zip
2. put the folders (+contents) cIOS_Installer and Backup_Launcher into the apps folder on your sd.
3 Download the files from my quote and put them in a folder "SD:/00001/00024/v1042/"

4. Start the cIOS Installer via the homebrew channel...
5. Play your burned copies via backup launcher

DVD+R don't work out of the box...

You have to use DVD-R(minus).

DVR+R could work if you set the DVD-Type to DVD-ROM.
Don't use DVD+-RW either. RW media does have a bad reflectionrate. Read errors are probable.

Hi, I think I have some similar problems when I play a burn copied game,"bleach versus crusade" with backup launcher gamma with error002 fix

I got this "Disk read error 349" ( Imgburn at 2X on a Maxwell DVD-r).

Someone suggested that I need cios 249. I used Channel file manager, and I see IOS 249 in my system. I also see the IOS 249 when going through backup launcher gamma and SoftChip.

Do I miss any ios (e.g. cIOS249-IOS36-rev07.wad) or simply due to the burning process/DVD-R media issue?

BTW, my wii is 3.2j (downgraded from 3.4j, no mod-chip) and hacked with the following steps (from wiihacks.com):
1. Load Wad Manager in Homebrew Channel and install IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad
2. Load Custom WM in Homebrew Channel and install cios_fix.wad
3. Load IOS Downgrader in Homebrew Channel.
4. Load cIOS Downgrader in Homebrew channel, pick 3.2J


Thanks

Taiyo Yuden dvd-r's are the best media for making backups. Sure, others may work but TY is the best. I have burned backups on cheap Playo's that worked. However, the games ran about 3x slower than those burned on TY. There are relatively few manufactures of blank media and only a handful of those produce worthwhile products. Verbatim is a recommended brand by many because they use TY disks.

Yes

Alright, now my question is. What program can be used to edit an iso prior to burning.

By this I mean, I want to change the files in a Wii game (audio) and burn it and run it.

Trucha is not an option, as I want to do a batch replace, and some of the files are larger than the ones they are replacing. Thank you in advance.

Burn it with IMGBurn

Search for torrents on google
