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

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.

are you running backups from a channel or the homebrew channel?
 
[quote name='nitrostemp' post='1836726' date='Mar 19 2009, 05:40 AM']are you running backups from a channel or the homebrew channel?[/quote]

im running backups through the back up launcher from the homebrew channel, i also just recently downloaded the launcher called green cube launcher im assuming ist the one u were previously talking about right?? and what do u mean through a channel, a .wad file installed from the wad manager?
 
G
basicly ive installed a wii/gc backup channel, so i just click the channel and it boths either gamma or xi
 
I am using the gamma002fix_r2 and I running it through homebrew. Is there a wad I can install so I can run it through the wii's own menu just like the original loader.

are you wanting to run a 002 from the disc channel?

ooo i c well i seem to ahve fixed most of my issues now i don't have that combined wad that ur talkin about but im using green cube and the backup launcher gamma, what fixed my errors was installing the rev 8 cios, that basically fixed all my errors it even fixed the 002 error that it gives for some games (for me sonic and the black knight), with the rev 8 i dont even need the gecko os 002 fix i just run the game through ym gamma and it works perfectly.

the only problem i ahve now is still with LOZ - collectors edition and rayman 3 hoodlum havoc, LOZ runs the main menu perfectly but when i load a game it just gives me a black screen and the tv acts liek the wii isn't even on, for rayman it doesn't even reach a menu

i looked up the compatibility wiiky or whatever u call it and gonna try a couple methods to burn them both

do u think u can send me that combined wad? i would like to try it out.
 
I have Gamma Channel With 002 Fix that I downloaded from somewhere here.

Sonic and Black knight was giving me a 002 error and now it works perfectly...

I have some games that are not working, and one in special that compatibility list says it works:

1) Boogie: gives me a black screen after the advise safety screen, the controllers looses communication.
2) SSBB: Does not work. I think I read here thar DL media is not supported yet... the drives keeps trying to read from DVD (I can hear a sound of the head).
3) Mario and Sonic Olympic: Not DL, but it does not read the disc. I'll try to burn another copy.

I know that it is ask too much, but somebody know if on future releases I will be able to start all games from disc channel, even after rebooting my wii ? When ?

If anybody has any clue to solve any problem....
THANKS !
 
I've read the whole post amazing work wiigator and waninkoko, I've just bought a Wii for my daughters and like most of us here my first thoughts are to 'customizing' , I have read that v3.3 after a certain letter version number would need downgrading, mine is a 3.3E so I believe that this is earlier than the update that stops an 'easier' installation of the backup Launcher 0.3 gamma, thanks for any help people as my life will not be worth living if I brick their new console!! I already have installed the 'Home brew Channel' so this is the next step for me :) Thanks again.
 
I installed the software in the games run fine, throught the backup channel, but when I try to use the wii disc channel to load the games, it load the games fine but the colours desappear and turn to white and black colors.
 
[quote name='nitrostemp' post='1841498' date='Mar 21 2009, 03:05 PM']do you have the gamma channel?[/quote]

yes i have the gamma loader and the green cube launcher

the only game that is still giving me issues is the loz - collectors edition, starts up perfectly but when it goes to the menu and i click on a game to play it loads a blank screen and thats it

the rayman game i fixed by loading the game using the mios patcher that is provided with the green cube launcher (pressing b loads the game with mios pather)
 
G
on loz collectors you need to press start at the cube insted of A

well if you get the new version of the cube launcher V.2 it runs the rebooter in 1/8th of the time that the old version took.

[quote name='nitrostemp' post='1856582' date='Mar 28 2009, 03:40 PM']only if you want to add functionality to the gamma channel[/quote]

ooo i c i c, yeah makes sense

well i hate to keep buggin u but it seems i got another problem i don't know if you have experienced this but

i started a new file for majora's mask with the loz collectors edition disc i burnt, the game seems to work fine (except for some minor lag issues which is fine) but once i reach the part where i get the ocarina for the first time and play it in front of the skull kid, the whole game freezes. I thought it was just a one time thing but i played it twice up to that point and it did the same thing

i dunno what it is
 
G
v2 should fix that freeze issues, atlest for me it has
 
[quote name='nitrostemp' post='1862656' date='Mar 30 2009, 11:34 PM']v2 should fix that freeze issues, atlest for me it has[/quote]

no it hasn't fixed for me for some reason

i just tried to play the game a third time and ti froze in the exact same spot

i even updated the mios patcher and everything prior to the error i don't know what it is

im going to try and play the game using a real copy and see if it will do the same thing, perhaps its my wii or the disc i am using
