Hacking Backup Launcher by Wiigator

[Mark McDonut]

OK, so I updated the IOS.

Tried the followin so far:

Metroid 3:
Working well, loading times with the doors seem to have reduced, I actually had the patience to wait for the doors to open (about 2 minutes)

Mario Galaxy:
The hill error is still there.

Mario Kart Wii:
No crashes, tried to play online, but loading time still disconnects you from the race.

House of dead 2 & 3:
House of dead 2 still dosn't work

If I recall, The issue with House of the Dead 2 was in the original GeckoOS code the backup loader was based off of, and was fixed in a later version of GeckoOS so it might be more a gecko issue than a backup loader one.

that would make sense given that the gecko code used in this project is not the latest.

edited: if I have time later tonight(doing a section of a paper), I'll give it a go updating this to latest gecko.

What do you mean by launcher. I use the new beta with the new cIOS.

 

[ppc_gba]

did you run the game with the program by wiigator (modified geckoos) or waninkoko (beta backup launcher 0.1)?

 

[56killer]

I use WiiGator's Loader

WiiGator has a new Beta loader out on test to a few people at the moment - he is using that one to test a few games i believe and not the normal two that are hanging around.
This has only been released to a few people for beta testing for now and it not for general release as yet.

 

[56killer]

Test:
All NTSC games on NTSC console

De Blob green screen
Mario Galaxy green screen same drive light problem
Wii Sports Blank screen same drive light problem
No More Heroes same drive light problem also froze at the front of the gym just about to hit A to enter.

He needs to fix some bugs in the alpha release i tested it out even the 2nd version then now 3version still some issues we will have 0.2 working within few days after everything is fixed

Just cause this bears repeating, anyone who leaks this and angers wiigator will make me a sad panda

 

[ppc_gba]

oh ok, well it sounds like the new loader isn't helping much, we need more progress on the ios side as well.
is he makin any cios upgrades as well or not? any other speed/compatibility fixes to report (like red steel)?

edit: btw, anyone think wiigator and waninkoko have more in common than just the 1st letter of their names?

The Loader beta v.2 it the same as the first beta of the v2 . WiiGator is actually making ios upgrades.

EDIT:never mind

 

[Rcolon85]

No Not Yet WiiGator is still Working on it.

OK thank you

As soon as something is released officially ill have it in my zip and ill have a note next to the file with the date its updated and what was released - this one will be a biggie so itll be in bold.

I dont have a copy of the beta so dont ask , and even if i had it wouldnt be added to the zip. Whats there works for a lot of things so be happy with thats out for now and give the lads time to work on other things - less pressure on them will mean a better outcome.

 

[ppc_gba]

just tried wario: shake it! and it works with the modified cios and wanin's backup loader! after waiting ~10 mins for the 1st unskippable video to pass, i was able to play thru the tutorial and continue to the next stage without it crashing. for those wondering, apparently you have to buy stages in a shop (in the game) to continue thru the game.

it is odd that the wiigator loader would have trouble with this, but maybe the new one will work.

@ ppc_gba:

Your fix_ios didn't worked for me, everything when just like the other cIOS (36rev4) except for Mario Strikers, wich happens to work sometimes (if not freeze), and now with your fix_ios I get the PSoD (Pink Screen of Death), that was the only diference; tryed with:

Medal Of Honor Vanguard: Give me the an error ocurred eject the disc and turn off the Wii (same with all)
Fifa '08: Stop at the wiimote security (desync the wiimote and never sync) (same with all)
Mario Strikers: PSoD (just with ppc_gba's fix_ios)

p.s. i reset the Wii before trying any game, and i couldn't unistalled with "Wad Manager", I had to use the "Waninkoko's cIOS Unistaller"
