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.

well i tried it on a pal multidisc instead of a ntsc because i had burnt one like that previously

still freezes on the exact same spot though :(
 
OK! I have the homebrew channel installed, and I'm in 3.3U... The gamma loader is working perfectly...

I want to update to fw 4.0... So, what should I do?! Can I update by console or using waninkoko's update??

Thanks!

if you already have the homebrew installed and all your applications etc. prior to the 4.0 update, it will not affect anything, but since 4.0 is still new its not recomended to do it
because after you instal the update i have read that you won't be able to install or update the homebrew anymore , the 4.0 somehow blocks anything after installing it. New security perhaps.

im sure if you wait a little longer they will make a newer homebrew channel that can adapt with the 4.0 update, but its not certain

im fine with my 3.4u, the only difference with 4.0 is that you can run save files and channels directly from the sd card and ofcourse updates with wii shop channel etc. nothing extreme
 
Hello!

I've got a problem. I installed with waninkoko's firmware updater 4.0 the sytemmenu, the shop channel and a couple of IOS. Before this I installed IOS60 with the signing bug. Now the backup launcher gamma0.3 DOES NOT boot from the disk channel, when I press B in the program, it restarts, then I go to the disk channel, the game is shown but when I press start it says an error has occured....
The backup launcher gamma0.3 DOES boot when I press the A button.
I have cIOSrev9 installed.

Somebody with the same problem?

as many have said don't upgrade as its not working properly

hey i fixed the glitch problem with the loz - collectors edition

did some research and found that the gcloader .2 doesn't work properly with the game, it seems everybody was getting the problem

only .1 xi works with it, thats a big relief i thought it was somthin i did wrong

i guess im going to have to wait 3 min everytime the game loads but if it works it works no complaints here haha
 
G
well im lucky enough to have it work with .2 for me.
 
hello WiiGator, first of all i just want to thank you for your hardwork on this.

i just want to know wiigator if its ok to install Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma on a wiikey modded wii 3.2U version? i already have installed homebrew channel beta 8.
 
Oi, I'm looking for latest version of this backup launcher + cios, New cios and fix002 or sth have been releeased since this package was posted, if am not mistaken.
 
Can anybody help me with a problem I have? The lists say they work, but Red Steel, Wario Land: Shake It!, and The House of the Dead Overkill don't work properly. They will start up and play, but it always takes like 40 attempts to get them to work. They usually don't work. The discs are in perfect condition and all the neccessary patches and what-not are applied to the ISOs. I just don't get why they are not working. I could care less about Wario or HOTD, because my original copies still work fine. Red Steel on the other hand, I NEVER got to finish beating, because my original freezes at start of the current mission. I REALLY want to play and finish Red Steel, please, somebody help. They were burnt onto Sony DVD+R discs at 1X speed with IMGburn.
 
not sure about your wii , but mine wii only read -r disks .....if you dont have any -r disks just change the book type before burning to -rom

You need IOS patcher 1.1 by waninkoko, then patch red steel to IOS249.
 
i have already patched red steel with IOS 249. It still doesn't work. I don't think it matters that they are DVD+R discs, because all 15 of my other back-ups work great and are on +R discs. The only thing I haven't tried is the Requiem4ds fix, which I will try tonight.
 
Uh, so I have a noob question: I've installed the cIOS (249, I think) that came with the Backup Launcher 0.3 Gamma just fine, and I'm running games perfectly with it, but I noticed in the compatibility list that some require an Error 002 Gamma Fix. My question is, can I run that 002 Gamma Fix Launcher (Gamma002fix_r2) from the Homebrew Channel with my current cIOS or do I need to install a new one (if so, which one do I need and how to install it, if you could :3)?

That's it. Thanks in advance :D
