Backup Launcher 0.3 beta

[Havoc_012]

Ok guys got it fixed, already removed the oct 23 update. ^^

Does somebody know which games have IOS11-IOS37? Because here is a guide how to remove the October 23 update...

Anybody can help?
Thanks

In reality it is not necessary, I'll explain what I did:


1) Downgraded my wii to 3.2E using waninkoko's downgrader v1.2
2) Installed the IOS36-64-v1042.wad (not the rev5 one) using wanin's Wad manager v12.2
3) Then I was able to install the cios installer for the new backup launcher, and uninstall/install DVDx, etc. ....
4) Optional: I updated my wii to 3.3E, but, didn't install the shop channel update.


Btw wiigator, I must congratulate you, this new backup launcher is PERFECT, my ssbb and harry potter work perfectly. Thanks!

Best news I've heard all day.

I take it that IOS36-64-v1042.wad installs to IOS36 and that particular IOS is not used by Nintendo and therefore it is not patched, right?

Also, did you have to delete CIOS rev5 before installing rev6 or can you just install on top of it?

Anyone else try this yet?

Greetings!

I have a couple of questions that I hope haven't been answered elsewhere - and I did read the Faq - so here goes... I have a modchip (Wiikey) installed and was curious about your program (figuring Wiigator is reading this) so I decided to take the plunge and install your cIOS and 0.3 into HBC9. I had PatchMii installed in order to use dvdx in Mplayer which in essence gave me a custom cIOS (I think!). When I tried to install the WiiGator approved cIOS, I got no errors so I thought things were good, so I went to load a game from the program and got an Exception error message (I tried multiple games). Reading a bit more on the Net, I gathered that the PatchMii code was to blame so I got Wanikoko's cIOS Uninstaller and sure enough there was a custom cIOS249 installed and I therefore went ahead and uninstalled it. I went back into the WiiGator program and all of my games seem to work.

My first question is - wouldn't uninstalling the cIOS from PatchMii via the Wanikoko Uninstaller also uninstall the WiiGator cIOS and therefore keep games from working? Maybe I don't fully understand the cIOS thing and what the uninstaller does. My second question is - basically all of my backup discs seem to work when launched from WiiGator and I want to make sure that it isn't the result of the modchip - ie. is the modchip kept out of the process in loading games from the WiiGator Launcher? I think I know the answer, but before I start singing this program's praises, I want to doublecheck! The main reason I noticed at all is the dissimilarities from the Compatibility Matrix for games like Elebits, MLB Power Pros, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Star Wars, and The Simpsons where people reported errors with 1:1 copies and I had no troubles at all at least getting to gameplay (I didn't play for very long). The only game I have seen a problem with so far is my 1:1 copy of Wario Land: Shake It which gets stuck on a black screen prior to loading which someone else reported as well. I don't get that problem at the Wii Menu when I know I use my modchip which makes me think it has nothing to do with WiiGator - but I would like confirmation on that.

Thanks so much for what seems to be an awesome program, and sorry again if you've answered these questions many times already!

There are different slots where you can install an IOS: IOS1-IOS255.
patchmii uses IOS254
my and Waninkokos cIOS uses IOS249

It is working, because backuplauncher will also start if IOS249 can't be loaded. It will use the default IOS. You have a modchip, so you don't need the IOS249. I don't know why you want to use it with a modchip. The modchip is not supported by IOS249.

IOS36 was also updated. v1042 is an old version.
No, you don't have to delete CIOS rev5. For safety reasons you should never uninstall it. An old or same version can be overwritten.

ok, i couldn't get the 1:1 backup (metal slug anthology pal) to be read on my ntsc wii using menu loader or menu loader clone.
so i recompiled the source of geckoos 1.07b to use ios 249, and now i can see the banner of the 1:1 backup in the menu.
now all we need is a menu patch to skip the update partition for decrypted discs and a patch to always use ios 249 (or whatever) when launching a game from the system menu. then i think it could be possible to use the rebooter and set an option for either decrypted or original discs.

some games like brothers in arms and wario don't work for me, so i might recompile to change the ios number so i can use cios_fix and the older launchers at the same time, it's not very hard to do...

great progress, hope to see more soon.

No, you don't have to uninstall anything, you can install on top of it.

As WiiGator said, better if you don't uninstall anything.

The first question, tbh I have no idea xDD, I just followed those steps from a friend of mine.

Wizard Dani answered my question as I was typing it. Thanks.

So does that explain why my results game-by-game differ from other people's since they are using a different IOS? Or does the IOS not have a bearing on the game compatibility? And I realize that I don't need to use your program, but I wanted to test it out for a friend who is afraid to open up his Wii to install a modchip. Thanks for taking the time out to read and answer my questions and keep up the great work!

I got it working

New launcher is amazing. Thanks Wiigator.

Ran an unpatched copy of boom blox and it works great.

Big thanks to Wiigator, WizardDani and Mueueps for the help in the forums.

Lets say I install this backup loader and all the things needed for it to work, and got it working. Will original Disc games still work??

 

[WiiShizzza]

so here I give you Forsaekns AutoLoader channel, but with another outfit...
I changed the banner and the icons in the way to show that it is the WiiGator3

Also I did not change the sound file, yet.

WiiGator3_Channel_by_WiiShizzza.wad

All Credits for coding go of course to WiiGator and Forsaekn!
I just did the graphics.
Oh yeah respect goes to the guy who made the Banner Editing Tutorial

Hope you like it.

Hope you like it.

I like the style of the channel, but the "By WiiShizzza" popup detracts from it imo. "Backup Launcher" or similar would be a much better description. :-)

 

[WiiShizzza]

Yeah^^ Thought of this.
Was my first try with Banner Editing.

Will be changed in next version.

Just a quick tech issue, tho its very slight. Dance Dance Revolution: Hotest Party 2 NTSC 1:1, when it loads from back up loader it hangs at a white screen for about 5 seconds before going to the wiimote wriststrap and safty warning stuff. Like i said, little, but it might be important

 

[cedwii]

Is the menu loader what linkinworm posted on you tube?
Is it possible to include this to wigator loader?

@WiiGator

Can you please answer me on my question (http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=111803&view=findpost&p=1497605)?

Hi all. I am totally new in this area. Just for your info, i just gotten my wii recently which is having a 3.3u menu and my wii is supposedly to have a modchip installed (or i was told so when i bought it, no idea which chip though). However, there are alot of games that i couldnt play still, thus i resorted to gecko os 1.07b. It was all good except for 2 other games i had, de blob and boom blox. Then when few days ago i read about backup launcher, i quickly downloaded it and pluck it into my wii. i managed to install the cIOS and run the backup launcher and de blob and boom blox works just fine.

The PROBLEM begins when i try to install wii ware wad games, and i always get the error of ret=-1022. I googled and they say was due to cIOS needs to be uninstalled to install those wads correctly. So stupid me, i go and use waninkoko's cIOS uninstaller and uninstalled the cIOS, and guess what, wad games still doesnt work (same error) and after i tried reinstalling the cIOS (both wiiGator's cIOS and waninkoko's rev6 are able to be installed successfully ), backup launcher dont work anymore. I can still start the launcher, but when i load the disc and press launch game, the screen will just hang and wont load the game at all...

I guess this was due to me uninstalling the cIOS? but just to note, i did not have the latest update (confirmed as i still cant go into the wiishop) as i read uninstalling the cIOS will be a problem for those that updated to the latest patch??...anyway to fix this problem??

 

[slingshot]

This is awesome, thanks for your hard work WiiGator!!

I downloaded the original back up loader and patched a few iso's. They worked great.
Have kept on reading and sunday added back up loader 0.3 to my wii.
It was at the time on 3.1e with HMC 8 on with barely any other apps. Only the likes of dvdx for use of IOS249 for your back up loader and mplayer.
At that time soul calibur legends PAL 1 to 1 copy worked fine, i played a couple of levels and saved game as well.
I then after reading some forums etc.. decided to update to 3.2e and install starfall. I had the recovery menu thing installed and removed the safety warning and had the update check app installed.
Soul calibur legends no longer works. Same disc.
To make sure I did not mess up as I am a bit of a noob on wii hacking I tested another game. Resident evil 4 PAL 1 to 1 copy and this works fine. Played a saved game for 5 or so mins to check.
Only thought this may help in identifying why some games do and do not work, maybe some apps are conflicting with the back up loader in some way or even something in the firmware? It could just be a useless coincidence.

AND A BIG THANKS for all your efforts on the back up loader.

 

[cedwii]

Wiigator,
are you working on a way to launch games trough the disc channel like linkinworm said?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGDkkF2tBfo

I see you're loading into the system menu with a custom IOS using the menu loader. Is it a beta IOS?

yes its the newest unreleased cIOS
GhostSonic

I see, thanks. Can you tell us who made it, wiigator or waninkoko or wut?

linkinworm1

its a bit of a mix n match at the moment, i have betas from both of them.

GhostSonic

I see, makes sense. Thanks.

linkinworm1

wiigator said 3rd week november to someone on gbatemp

So is that right wiigator?
And i say thank s for all to you and wanin!!

A small issue - if ocarina codes are enabled when starting Super Smash Bros Brawl (PAL) I get a error message telling me to "Please Insert the SSBB Game Disc". With codes disabled it works as it should.

Guess I'll have to do the boring bits and unlock stuff manually :>
