Blombox NTSC does not work.
Look for the games on this link:

Hi Thor, according to the look all versions of bloombox are indeed working.

wiigator
wii don t hear about you anymore for a long time now,are you still ok?
Just give us some news mate,and thank s again the 0.3 is very good,i m surprise most of the games work when their are decripted, i hope you find a way out to minor compability problems!
Is it a cios pb?
Did you have more test with disc channel?
Shuss!!
Cedwii!!

The next version will be called Backup Launcher 0.3 gamma:
- It will use the newer G****OS
- It includes support for the rebooter, so 1:1 backups are working with the disc channel (Including newer titles).
- Dual layer may not work.

Current state is:
"de Blob" works on PAL
"Star Wars - Force unleashed" seems to work on NTSC.
"Star Wars - Force unleashed" doesn't work on PAL.

I need more time to fix it.

YOU ROCK. I have a question. Since you said that in .3 gamma their will be no dual layer disks, does it mean that my SSBB that I bought will not work, or does it mean that burned dual layers will not work? Also, if bought dual layers will not work, than is their any way of booting the one you bought? The disk channel feature is brilliant. When will you be releasing this version?

ok juecked the guied says ssbb is working but mines not could this b a burn issue?

 

[WiiGator]

If I activate support for dual layer discs, the Wii will detect a modchip for newer games. If you make SSBB smaller, you can use it.

Star wars is also working for PAL, my report before seems to be wrong, because the error was caused by a burn media issue.

I don't know if Okami will work, but I think it will not work in the next release. I am getting to a point where I need to know, which IOS is used. You can use the tool which I posted on page 6. I need the IOS number of the large game partition with the correct disc id of the game.

Every release just gets better. Can't wait for the next one. Dual layer, meh we have dvd5 for smash so why worry about it right now, especially if it may cause issues. Eventually itd be nice, especially for making multi-game discs. Whatever you decision you know the community supports you 100% anyone searching for said program its actually on page 5 not 6.

 

[bootsector]

Ok. So no dual layer support then. I need a tutorial about shrinking my backup of SSBB to DVD5. Any help would be appreciated!

SSBB Tutorial Remember google is your friend
Title Id and IOS Thread

 

[bootsector]

Thanks, dd! I'm applying the patch from the first post on that thread right now! Wish me luck!

Edit: From a quick test, SSBB DVD5 NTSC/USA is working great with 0.3!

If i am not mistaken, backup launcher 0.3 gamma will be built in into Wii Disc Channel right?
wouldn't it better to keep it the same as it is now? as a launcher on a different channel. so that we have an option how we would like to load our game.

and i was just curious with that comment, saying SSBB won't work even tho its original version.
i hope all original wii disc still can be run normally through Wii Disc channel.

either way i am happy with the launcher and big thanks to wiigator.

Great work Wiigator!
I use backup launcher 0.3 beta and it works great, but I can't add a 2nd controller in all games i tried (mario kart, bomberman, boom blox, etc). In the multiplayer tab of each game the 2nd controller isn't recognized no matter what i press. Is this a common problem? The 2nd controller works great without the backup launcher (tested with the original version of wii sports). I have searched with google, but didn't found any solution. Any help appreciated

 

[digitydogs]

Alex your the first ive heard of having that issue. Here all 4 of my controllers work great with all version of the loaders... Hopefully someone has some ideas, short of telling you to check your batteries, heh

 

[blitzer320]

is the controller synched to the wii or every time you load your wii you have to press the 1+2 if so you may need to synch it with the wii

A question that I have been wondering about for a while now is if I want to play a PAL game on an NTSC Wii, how do I do it? I have heard various different answers, such as using special cables as with Waninkoko's original loader, to selecting Force PAL in the loader, to selecting Force NTSC. I have performed a search, and have looked at several pages in various threads, but I find no useful information. I don't want to have to look at 350+ pages across 5 threads for the answer, so if someone could just tell me directly it would be fantastic.

Also, what do the hooktype settings do?

Sorry for the questions that has most likely been asked, but I just can't find solid answers.

Another quick question: My Wii is 3.2U, and except for Backup Loader Beta 0.3 and the cIOS included with it on the first page of this thread, it is relatively untouched (NAND-wise, I have a lot of SD homebrew). Is it safe to use the Backup Loader's cIOS in conjunction with Starfall, DVDx and Wii Shop/IOS51 Installer, or will this cause problems?

Last thing: With the next loader (0.3 gamma?) will there be a new cIOS, and will it just replace the old one, or will I have to remove it and then add another one?

 

[Nautilart]

most of my pals work on force ntsc two or three are not getting passed initial startup but im using 3.2u and no special cables

does anybody know if after the initial launch of the launcher am i safe to remove the sd card or is it working with data off the card

Ok the whole pal ntsc thing really depends on several factors from your display to your cables to the hooktype.
If your display doesnt support pal your screen will go black and white when playing pal games without forcing ntsc. If your display is capable of pal and ntsc then just run the games without forcing any video mode. If you can only display ntsc you have to force ntsc and hope the game is fully compatible with being forced at this time. Hooktypes don't seem to matter with the .3 loader. with the .1 loader gc or disabled were most compatible. Hooktypes are ways the program takes control of system processes. Your safe i have all of those installed with no issues at all. .3 gamma i would assume that yes it will be a new cios, but if its like last time it will overwrite the current for you. hope this helps
