Hacking An OPEN SOURCE backup launcher has been created

[ciper]

Edited first post to link to the GBATemp Wiki article

GeekShadow : I think one already exists http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/Backup_Launcher either way can you change any reference of "Gecko OS" to say "WiiGator's Backup Launcher" instead to respect the wishes of both authors?

Can someone make a newbie guide? I got the cIOS installer working but I don't know anything about devkit etc.

@Xlarge: You could look for a pre-compiled version, they seem to be flourishing.

 

[hanschke]

i cannot compile it:

C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\wii\backuplauncher\extractpartition>make
cc -Wall -W -Os -DLARGE_FILES -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c extractpartition.c -o ex
tractpartition.o
make: cc: Command not found
make: *** [extractpartition.o] Error 127

anyone can help me? cause i dont see any link with a complete compile applications. there are 4 in the source folder.

Which to use?
This:

I confirm this works, here is the compiled dol.

or this:

Here is the new version
BackupLauncher

Post if its working.

?

EDIT: Also most of the ISOs I find are PAL how can I make them work on my NTSC Wii? IN the compatibility list it says something about forced NTSC. How do I do that? Also those things I quoted are just the loaders right? How can I patch the ISO? In the extractpartition folder there is some files but I don't know what to do with them and my ISO. It needs to be compiled right? Any link to a pre compiled version yet? And is the DVDX that I need to install this?

OK, so what is this what I need to do?
-Install this CIOS? Do I need to bother with anything but the .dol?
-Install the dvdx found here and go advanced and choose what?
-Then install one of the .dols I posted above the italics

Yeah I don't know. I still need the extract partition and the dip module. I don't even know what the dip module is. Part of the CIOS installer?

Thank you WiiGator !

Yeah this would be appreciated. If I ever understand what how to do it I will make one if no one better fitting the job wants to. However I haven't even installed it yet as you can tell by my various questions above.

The new version I guess check torrent site or what not otherwise(can't give you a specific one, against the rules)

 

[Chux]

Ok, so I got my ISO, I put it through backup-creator, I burned it with imgburn (partition.iso) ran the cios and installed dvdx.

I'm getting a DVD Identity Failed when I try to run it. Where is my error?

New version of what?

 

[Jordan10la]

OK so in order to do this I need to install custom firmware right? What are the dangers of this? Can I go back to normal Nintendo firmware? What if a game requires I update to the latest Nintendo firmware while I have the custom? What if I try to install the newest one? If all else fails can the iso's of games that require a install of a official firmware be hacked so they no longer do?

This is my last fear regarding trying this. That and bricking my Wii but a lot of people have tried it and seem to have no problems.

wiigator backup launcher

Isn't that what 56Killer linked to here?
Also, has a compiled version of the ISO patcher been uploaded? And about my firmware questions asked earlier?

 

[msa]

i guess i'm missing something here...

do you use it just like other homebrew-apps?
say: just copy the folder to /apps/ on the sd-card and run it through the hbc?

 

[redoxoder]

hello

someone with wiikey (or other chip) have succefully use the backuploader ???
if yes . please help me (us)
i know you will say : wiikey=noneed for this homebrew
but it for testing and look how it works

[houseonfire]

good you admit it cause you cannot use this to test anything when having your chip installed.

 

[GamerzInc]

its pointless to test with a modchip. how can you even test it? The modchip will see its a backup and play it.

 

[Supercool330]

Does anybody have a working link to the latest version of the source. It is really strange that I can't find the source code for a piece of GPL licensed software.

I couldn't edit the Comp/list:

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, works great, but doesn't work the WiiConnect24 (wich I don't think anyone care)
waninkoko's gave me the GSoD (green screen of death), I even patch the .iso to PAL and the same, and that was when I found out about WiiGator's and now everything is pink color...!!!
