Backup Launcher 0.3 alpha

[cobol]

By reading the topic's title, ¿it's still an alpha the 0.3 version? If that's so, then it shall take some time till at least a beta is done.

Alpha Test
Software used in a controlled setting, with the developer always ready to fix the bugs

Beta Test
Software gets a realistic workout in target environments

So, WiiGator. You've posted the info we all wanted to know.
Is there anything we dont know about the loader?
Like maybe where you think it can go from the beta?
Or hell, what is your opinion on the whole project^^?

 

[Visionary]

Well I read through all 3000 odd posts in that mega thread regarding .3 and wow you could make a soap opera outta that thing!

Great work WiiGator and if you do decide to release it on Public Beta I have a great big collection of Wii games I can work through to help with compatibility issues.

All the best.

go ahead and release it, nintendo have already released their new (possibly) anti-homebrew ios fixes and wii shop updates.
it's as good a time as any, and they already know of the backup launchers anyway, so having a better one is not a big deal.

also, more beta testers will help to reproduce issues and (eventually) may help you to see how the loader could work on the new system update, if you don't want to install it yet.
this is assuming homebrew still works and/or someone re-unlocks it.

I would have to agree that you make a very good point. Whatever we do from now on out should be done in an orderly fashion as possible. I and a handful of others would gladly help keep the compatibilty test in proper format, categorized, etc.. I really don't play the games intensly anymore but have a child that plays Wii great. So that gives me more time to help organize something.. or not....

I meanwhile play games, and have a family and friends that like to play frequently. I also have the good fortune to have a dlp projector which i can use to test all the forced video outputs on various games from various regions. I don't have the skills to code, but im willing to do what i can to help. And i have alot of troubleshooting experience with electronics and computers, even if i did allow myself to get caught up in the boards childishness earlier... Theres a child in all of us.... its healthy to let it out every now and then

Thanks for all your hard work, its people like you who make the lazy people like me happy lol. I hope a public beta is released soonish, id like to test what exactly i can do! and i'm also having probs patching GHWT, so if its 1:1 works then that shouldnt be in issue. Lookin forward to pushin your loader to the limit, LETS SEE IT SOON!!

The debugging that will take place, will that be dumps to the SD card or through something like a tcp/ip stack and storage on a pc , maybe same interface as the disc dumper ?

From what I could understand, Twilight Princess is not currently supported on 0.3? If so, then please WiiGator, take your time!

I thought every hacker should at least have a real copy of Twilight Princess, since it is the key to the Homebrew scene. Well, I guess I'm wrong

Using the twilight hack to play twilight copy. Full Circle.

 

[bootsector]

I have an original copy of it, but it's at my cousin's house.

Guitar Hero World tour already works with the current loader.
Quite well actually, (I've experienced no desync at all

)
But you need to patch it with Wiigator's patcher "extractpartition", and not Waninoko's patcher.

I like what Wiigator and Waninoko have doen so far, so obviously I am looking forward to updates.

(goes back to playing GHWT! YEAH!!

)

EDIT: I wonder if anyone with the new beta has tried Sam and Max season one, because I would like to know if it works patched, as it currently doesn't work at all...
Keeps resetting the wii when you select an episode...

What happens if you execute the Twilight Hack, while running the game in the backup loader?

WTF LOL. Question of the year award, now!

I doubt anyone will try that. But I guess, nothing would happen. A "hack already installed" msg or something like that...

 

[fac_ownage]

I'm really hoping for the beta to go public. Many different Wiis will most likely act differently. The faster we get the users' errors out of the way the faster the final version can come out =D

WiiGator, i'm just wondering, but do you get anything out of doing this besides the excitement and fame?

wait im confused, I thought you NEED a copy of Zelda TP to install the homebrew channel?

 

[Thor1981]

is a good idea to launch the backup version launcher v 0.3 alpha, should also open a thread on the experiences of the testers so we can gather information about the failures of users.
Now the questions.
What Cios that you used to the new version?
For who are the files that will have to download?
Then the new launcher is updated only?

You are a Crack.

Some cheapos either just rented it or borrowed it.
