I did press X. It said "Supported boot method: rungcbackup + Wii Backup Launcher". I mean yeah, it works with the backup launcher channel, but I don't see anything there that would indicate it works with the disc channel.

i dunno then that's all you have to do to enable it from disc channel i didn't do anything special and it works fine.
did you even try it?
maybe do you have preloader? i've messed up settings in my hacks.ini a few times and it stopped games from working

Yeah, I tried, it's unable to read the disc. I don't have Preloader/SoftMii or anything like that because I personally think they're dangerous.

*shrug* It's not like it's a big deal to load it through the backup launcher, but it'd be cool to run it straight through the disc channel like everyone else. If anyone else is having this problem or knows a solution, I'd love to hear from you.

I am trying to load a backup of Mario Party 5, which on the compatibility chart says works, but every time I try to load the gc backup launcher I get a green screen that freezes and requires the power button to be pressed to reset the wii. I get the same result using Wiigators miospatcher using 4,5, and 8 as well as Wanikoko's cmios installer. I was using a 3.3U system menu. I tried downgrading through ARC to 3.2U but that didn't seem to make a difference.

I can currently play wii backups made through the same method and on the same media on gamma.

I haven't found anyone saying they were having this same issue yet.


I, also, noticed that if I try and load the launcher with R the screen would not be the static green but it would be a jumbled mix of colors.
At the point that it freezes it does not appear to be doing anything with the drive and there is no sound. I also tried with a Mario Party 7 iso to make sure it wasn't the image but it had the same results.

I installed the MIOSs by network installation. Is it possible there was an error with the installation that scrolled by to fast to notice and was not listed at the end. With Wankiokos, there were no error messages.

Just a quick question
I have SoftMii Installed w/Wiigators cIOS and mIOS v8
I want waninkoko's mIOS, so do I just install over the old one?
or is there a certain way to uninstall this?
any help would be greatly appreciated....

P.S. I have the original RVL-mios-v8.wad, just in case....

Anybody else got problems with Sonic Adventure 2?
The wiki says it works, I had a pal backup of the game, it doesn't work. Burned it with 2 other games on a multidis, didn't work. Then I used gc_region_patcher_fixed to change it's region to USA and burned it alone, didn't work.
Tested with wiigator's and waninkoko's mIOS.
GcBooter and geckos won't work either.
The screen stays black, even though I can hear the audio. If someone have it working, could you try to play it without the memory card plugged when it starts and see if it gets to the menu screen?

I'm getting the problem with the NTSC version. The wiki says it works, maybe we're doing something wrong. Gonna test it on a friend's Wii tomorrow.

Do you have a NTSC wii?
I will try v4 MIOS today, but have no hope on that.
Someone reported the same problem with pikmin 2 and with luigi's mansion if I am not wrong, so it might be a bug that does not depend on the game.

I have a modchip, so I've been playing GC backups for ages now. But just because I can, I'd to like to test this cmios and loader. That shouldn't be a problem.
But to restore the original mios afterwards, it that just a matter of installing the RVL-mios-v8.wad file with wad manager?

just launch di mIOS Installer again...it should ask you if you want to uninstall the Custom mIOS...

I'm on Riiskimod v2, GCBL boots fine on Disc Channel, MIOS v8, but I've noticed something weird. Everytime you get on the Wii Settings or Save Data and try to go back to the Wii Menu (by clicking on Back), I can hear my Wii "rebooting" (remounting?) the DVD drive. Is something wrong or should I just ignore that?

Has anyone found a fix for the "Failed to read DVD 345'' error yet?

So has anyone gotten DVD+R's to work on this?

Using Memorex DVD+R (which work fine for all my Wii games);

When I burn it as a Normal DVD+R in ImgBurn, the loader will recognize the game, but when I select an option to boot it, it freezes on a green screen.
When I burn it as a DVD-Rom booktype in ImgBurn, the loader will give a "345" error.

Also, will I always have to boot games from the SD card, or is there a way to get the GC Loader on the front Wii menu?

Umm, this might be know already, but something I have picked up during my testing:

Gamesaves are not compatible over different MIOS. I started an FZero game on Waninkoko's MIOS, saved, switched to Wiigator MIOS, and the game no longer "saw" the save, and let me create a new one.

When I would look at the card after this, there were two Fzero saves right next to each other, both with the the date created as 00/01/01.

I deleted the new one, and reinstalled the Wigator MIOS (v8) and was able to access the original save.

Just thought this was interesting and wanted to share.

PS - Multiple games on one disc work AWESOME. Shrinking works no problem. I made a multidisc of Cubivore, FZero, Luigis Mansion, and Viewtiful Joe. All shrunk, all work and play great.

I installed Waninkoko's MIOS v8 wad with the rev1 installer to boot GC backups from the Disc Channel. The only game I've tried so far is Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure, which boots up fine and the intro video plays perfectly, but as soon as it gets to the title screen I get a disc read error message.

Is there a reason more people aren't using the same MIOS method I used? Does WiiGator's backup channel have improved compatibility?

I always managed to stay on top of things when the Wii backup launchers came out, but now there's 50 different versions of this GC backup launcher and I'm just confused as hell.

Maybe this is a dumb question, and maybe it was answered before, but I can't find it so I'm just going to ask...
I have tried GCOS disks, and they work fine with normal DVD-R. But can I use DVD9?
I can't find it at the CL so I rly dunno, and I don't want to spend a DVD9 if you guys already know it doesn't work...
