Backup Launcher 0.3 beta

LOL@Matt Cese
priceless

I'd add

Wiigator=Wanikoko=Dark_Alex! speculate!


Now, jokes apart, I wouldn't ask for a video...why waste time for a video, just wait until gamma is released.
Wiigator said it's working with the disc channel, it's okay for me. I don't need a confirmation. And by the way I'm perfectly happy with the current loading method we have now.

SDHC Class 6 does not mean 6x reading speed. It means 6 MB/s write speed GUARANTEED, they can be faster, and reading speed is usally faster.
6x speed with sd cards and 6x speed with dvs is not the same, but nearly. Sure is: SDHC Class 6 cards can be read at least as fast as the wii can read dvds. Questions are: Does the Wii support full reading speed, or is the sd slot limeted to USB1.1 reading speed too? And is it possible to use sd reading commands inside the IOS where it would be needed for something like this?

I imagine a virtual DVD drive... ...to mount ISOs on SD. We would need to "relink" the
read-calls from the Wii-OS to that virtual drive(maybe by a hacked IOS?)...
I don't know if this is possible but i would try it that way... just an idea.
I don't know if it's a stupid one...

EDIT: But we would need to load splitted ISOs... FAT32 supports only files up to 4 gig...
otherwise we would need another filesystem...

The default setting are changed:
- GC pad hook
Any reason for that? Virtually all games I've tried work with the current default hook. only 1 out of ~100 doesn't. Does using GC hook impair any of the games that currently run fine?


QUOTEThe default settings for System Menu are:
- Region free
- Update check is disabled, because updating from wrong region will lead to a brick. I don't have tried to update from a burned disc. I don't know if this is safe in general when using the correct region.

Any chance you could enable Disable NoCopy of files to SD as a default?

so we watin 4 .3g i seen the post from gator awsome news

oh and n/p= not patched and all my games r ntsc
except for bully and ssbb

I don't think SD support would be that useful...it's easier to burn discs that to put an iso on an SD and having to change the content of the SD frequently to change the isos inside it. It's better to burn the games on DVDs, at least for me.

Hey man, registered just to say thank you. This worked perfectly for firmware version 3.3u with absolutely no hardware modifications or online updates. A game called "Mopoly" (not Monopoly, that would be illegal!) worked like a charm, which is wonderful, because as it turns out, "Mopoly" is pretty much the crappiest game for the Wii ever, and I would have been vomiting blood if i paid money to find that out.

Once again, thank you.

I'd love to have SD support for testing purposes, if for no other reason. It would save a bit of time and money on coasters.

1. If the wii has full sd reading speed, then sd card loading speed could be up to 2x the loading speed form the original DVD.
2. 16 GB and up SDHC card are getting cheaper and cheaper

Just my thoughts about an sd card backup loader

Maybe this Sven's blog about SDHC support will be helpful for WiiGator:

@WiiGator

Please, speak to us.

 

[TyrianCubed]

Well, SD support isn't bad I agree, anyway I'm happy with what I already have. If can be easily included in the future, why not? But if it must create a lot of difficulties I don't think it would be worth. Just my cents here, eh!

leave WiiGator alone, he's working

He'll speak when he feels like doing it ^^

hi,
first of all, congrats to everyone making this happen..
and now after spending 1 whole day at forums and reading guides.. i got the homebrew channel up and running and installed the backuploader0.3beta and the cios it came with (only one i've ever installed).. ran the wad manager and it confirms that i got a custom ios.. my prob is that i can't get any game to run (out of the 4 1:1s that i tried). i've changed the hook type and nothing... i think they're reading errors, but don't think it's my fault because my pioneer burner works great and i only use verbatim media (@4x). the wii's ios is v3.1E and it's a pal console.
any ideas?
thx in advance

first check the compatability threads and make sure those games work with the beta. if they do then tell us what games and what version they are (pal or ntsc) and exactly what the error message you get is and when you get it in each game.

How exactly did u install the cIOS and which one did u use?
There are 2 u can use...

1. WiiGator's cIOS with read retry fix

You will need the installer in ur apps folder of the HBC
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=26HQT909

...and u will need wifi enabled or the contents of this zip on the root of ur SD

2. Waninkokos cIOS Installer v6

You will need the installer in ur apps folder of the HBC
http://rapidshare.com/files/162525435/cIOS...taller.zip.html

...and u will need a IOS36-64-v1042.wad on the root of your SD.
Don't put it in the wad folder and don't install it with the Wadinstaller!

Both installers have to be executed from the HBC's menue or b a homebrew that can start *.dol
files.

What games did u try?

 

[g8k33p3r]

you guys are fast...
ok so, i did check the compatibility threads and the games seem to pass. they were super mario party8, rayman raving rabbids 2, super mario galaxy and mario kart (all pal). all the error messages were the same but couldn't quite make it out because almost all the letters were overlaped (DVD something).. i used the cios that came with backup launcher0.3beta. since i have no wifi network i download the needed to continue the instalation.
i hope this helps in any way..

WEll with .3beta raving rabits doesnt work. however if your getting the overlap messages you cios install is bad, or your discs are junk. Try re-installing the cios before you trash those discs though. Oh also make sure your using the loader that goes with the ios your installing as we now have .3 that installs to either 247 or 249, and using a 247 ios with a 249 loader wont work.
