Since there's only one MIOS you can just keep installing enw ones over it and it just overwrites it as if it were a new MIOS. However to get an original back you'll either have to ask someone for it or get it off a Wii game that has it.

Can't you just press B in WiiGator's patcher to uninstall it?

Hi the mario, I think no. b seems to remove what ever wiigators patches are. But If you used waninkoko's cMIOS originaly i don't believe its replaced with a fresh mios and thats what im after clearing the whole lot out to start again.B

Try reinstalling the MIOS with Wiigator's patcher. If you hit right or left on the D-Pad it changes the version. I'd suggest trying V8

Thanks for the tip, but my F-Zero GX saves give me the same error on V8, it appears. Not sure what else I have different from other successful users at this point. Could this be solely because of a bad burn? Saves are created fine at the outset, and even when I go in mid-game to "load" the save file again... then are reported as "corrupted" upon reboot. Again, it's an official Nintendo mem card 1019. If I just have to live w/ wonky saves on F-Zero, so be it--it's too hard for me to beat, anyway heh.

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.

I have also tried with zelda WW but it stays on the green screen after loading as well.

I tried downloading the MIOS for 5 and 8 from Wiigator's blog and then using the MIOSpatcher but that hasn't seemed to make a difference. When the GC Backup launcher runs it correctly detects the name of the game but it will not get past the green screen.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Try FSTFIX and padd the game to fullsize (1.35gb) if it isn't already.

ether2802 · Feb 10, 2009

Ok I am in the "I have a problem and I can't be bothered to search, where do I ask?" thread, so I "made" a backup but is is 1.10Gb and it is on .gcm format:

1) Can I burn it on regular size DVD, or needs to be on MiniDVD..??
2) Can I just re-name it to .iso or needs a especial app to do this..?
3) Does the size matter for the launcher..??
4) Some people (I think) are using the Gamma Launcher, does it work..??

1) Use DVD or Mini DVD, their both supported
2)Just rename the .gcm to .iso
3)Not that I know
4)Haven't tried it, sorry

Has anyone got 2 savegames for the same game (one for the original and one for the backup... )?
That's very annoying!

m8 i've found the solution (no thanks to anybody here lol...)
i've installed the cIOS_Installer (to be found with the wiigator gamma version) and after that it works !

hope it can help you too...

That only happens when you press b to load through mios. Any other boot method will give you a normal save

What the deal about no video signal out and just the audio..?? the game works thru the Disc Channel if Wanky's cMIOS8 is installed, and thru the Gamma loader and thru the GC Loader, but just the audio, no video signal output...!!!

Actually you don't need to rename the .gcm to .iso. Imgburn supports .gcm files too!

But as I'm using MultigameISOcreator I need to make ISOs of them anyways
EDIT: wow, the MultigameISOcreator can read gcm files too

I'm always using autodetect (start or A I don't remember)

Ether,

I'm running NTSC-U console.

If my console video mode is set to NTSC with Any Region Changer, I can only run NTSC video games. If I change console video mode to PAL I can then run BOTH NTSC and PAL games from Disc Channel using Auto-Detect. Same as with Wii Backup Launching, PAL seems to be the more compatible settings.

I use NERO

, that's why I asked, ~~and again what's with the NO video ouput..??~~

Ok I'll playing with that, Jizmo

Has anyone got Luigi's Mansion (NTSC) working on a multiboot iso?
I used MultigameISOCreator.exe [I'm pretty sure that's the name] and the game just showed up as a blank screen, but I could still hear.

If anyone has, can you tell me:
MIOS you were using
If you had any GC related codes on (Like starfall, or preloader)
How did you boot it up?

Many thanks.

Other than that, the games I used in my multiiso worked perfectly.
I can finally play Zeta Gundam 4 players.

Having a few Questions about the multiGameISOCreator (sorry if wrong topic)
1)If one game isn't compatible/doesn't work for some reason, will all other games on the disc Fail (which will make the disc useless)?
2)Can I combine scrubbed and non-scrubbed games?
3)If I want to boot from the disc channel, can I actually use a multiGame ISO?? If you can, how do you select the game you want to play?

1) No, other game will work if there are compatible.
2) Yes but it is not scrubbed but shrunk (or shrinked).
3) I don't know, sorry.

Anyone have any luck with Zoids Battle Legends? I have it burned on a multi-iso disc and it gets to the main menu but all options lead to Disc Read Error. Any ideas?
