I believe you got to eliminate the spaces between the command, or add spaces, I really don't know cause I haven't done that never...!!!

ok, i Finally got it working. The problem was in the joining of the Parts. I joined them again using a Program called Altap Salamander and this time the size was right and everything.
Sucks the into is so slow though, It was the best part of the game

Theres a command line command in the first post of this thread on how to do it using command line as well if you had checked there ....

Q: I have backed up my disc using ISO dumper to SD card and now i have 3 parts - how do i join them ?
A: Put them into root of the C drive , open a command prompt and type cd .. until u get to root and then type copy /b part1.iso+part2.iso+part3.iso WiiGame.iso where part1.iso is the file.

Hi djtaz,

I've installed all of your files and the system works! Great!
But I wanted to play a dvd movie and couldnt succeed in this. I obviously need some kind of a
media player, but which one (suits the best with your configuration) ?
I have downgraded to 3.2E and have starfall installed.

Preferably a MP which also supports xvid/divx from USB-stick.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DC

I havent really tested any with the zip i have as i have 2 dvd players and a media streamer under the TV so i never really needed it to do that. I have seen a few Wads on http://wadder.net for media playing but i havent tested them - i believe you need a copy of the DVDx that has media player support and the wad for media player as well - it shouldnt have any impact on your present setup but if it has just uninstall it again.

http://wadder.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=50 there is one , but i think theres others as well.

Hi i have a problem with the backup of the new Case Closed. It does not work, the screen remains black after starting the BackupLauncher.
I dont know where the problem is, it could be a old BackupLauncher or cIOS?

All other games I have work, so first of all Ive tried some different BackupLauncher0.3 (all gammas)
Now at first I want to know which one is the latest.

So as in djtaz Signature file there is a Folder called "2. Backup_Launcher" the boot.dol which one is this? It has no Menu on start (i have to push 1)? The second question why it has a different Logo?
There is a old.dol File too in this Folder. This is the same file i usualy used to play backups (with menu, and different logo)
I thought the new one is included the "002" fix? is this correct?

Ok, whatever, Ive tried both normal boot and both with ForcePal60... but it doesnt work and I get a blackscreen, then I have to reboot. Again, the other games I have work (ghost squad, disaster, bloom blocks)

Is this some kind of problem with the "cIOS"? (in the backuplauncher menu it says IOS249)

If even one game works then its not a problem with the cIOS or the backup launcher - the problem is the game ISO itself.
boot.dol is the dol file used to make the wii-sih wad that i have also included - its the autoboot with 002 fix with no region forced.
the old boot is the one without the 002 fix in it.
Try numbering your questions , your kind of all over the place so if i missed anything put them in numbers and ill asnwer

Smash Bros. needs a special update wich is not a version update, it is only an IOS update or something like that, and if you were on 3.2 you could install Starfall and then no update would appear on the Disc Channel...!!!

1) Could it be that a new game like Case Closed requires a "new" cIOS? afaik i have cIOS36_rev7-Installer.dol installed. Ive tried to reinstall but it says first a error and then "successfully installed". So I think I have this one correctly installed.

I think the BackupLauncher is not the problem anymore. It works correctly.

Case Closed uses IOS33, and my copy works perfect, and when you use Gamma Launcher, forces the game to be readen by IOS249 so it doesn't really matter wich IOS originally uses, is either a bad dump or a bad burn, if not even the ID is showing in the launcher then it is a bad dump, get it from a nother source...!!!

The safe update still leaves your system showing 3.2 so it really only adds in ios55 and updates the shop channel - he should be able to install starfall still

Hi djtaz,

I installed the MPlayer in your package but there are 2 issues:

1. It doesnt load original dvd movies, and
2. It doesnt quit in a proper way (I believe thats a known issue)

Any solutions for these issues or do I have be somewhere else.
By the way, you sound not bad at all as a DJ

It doesn't play commercial DVD's because it doesn't support the file format. It can play home burned DVD's in Avi format etc. You need to install DVDx before you try using any DVD's.

Nope - the guide explains that :

**********************************************
Updating from Beta
**********************************************

If you wish to update from the beta installer all you need to do is :
1. Backup your Sd card (just in case) then copy the contents of the new gamma zip to it and install the cIOS
2. Then install the channel (wiiish.wad) WAD or use the homebrew channel and backup loader to run the new loader

Whatever advise or guide you follow, you just need to update the cIOS to the Gamma one(rev7) and the loader itself. In which form you get the loader, .dol for HBC or as a channel doesn't matter.

If you use the original release, delete IOS249 before cIOS installation:
