Hacking Backup Launcher by Wiigator

[Screemer]

Actually Zack and Wiki didnt work with fixed cios for me, i'm sticking to the rev6 from WiiGator from now.

have you tried to set the vid option to gc pad?

 

[rajnika]

Whoops, nope. I'll try this, editing my post with results.

Edit : Worked with gc pad, what does it change?

 

[GhostSonic]

I know, I mean, who BUYS these days anyways? [/sarcasm]


I mean, who DOESNT BUY these days anyways? (Sarcasm)

Not as many people as you think, actually.

with cios_fix, Sim City Creator PAL works, but only on PAL mode (no forced NTSC) and the screen is half cut

 

[ZarathustraX]

So far I have had fantastic results with the cios_fix. Harvest Moon ToT NTSC on a PAL 3.3 machine runs without graphical artifacts nor crashes. NMH as well.

Fantastic work! I'm off to do some much needed farming!

is there anyway to patch waninkokos loader to make it color wario land works really nice with the cios fix
but its in black and white I almost bought the hd cables but then wiigators color version came out I began using it
a little more wario does not work on wiigators loader anyway to make wans loader color on ntsc without hd cables
if not i just continue to test the game in black in white,,,,,

if we could get wans loader in color i could test a whole lot better these game i have a bunch....

i opened wan's loader in a hex editor and saw the regions ntsc pal mpal anyway to change it to ntsc

you should try playing around with the fore pal / pal 60 / ntsc options and always use vid = gc pad.

the same for you. actually it should be in color. what region did your image has. use a ntsc image and use vid = gc pad. maybe it works for you. just a suggestion.

about the vid = gc pad option. nobody knows why using this option makes the loader far more compatible. maybe one of the coders could give us some insights. ppc_gba said he will take a look at it and he'll give some feedback in this thread.

[TrapperKeeperX]

With this new WAD there is 1 question I know this does sound dumb but do I Install it with WAD Manager or CIOS Installer?

 

[Venom228]

It does sound dumb but people need help once in awhile, but yeah you install wad files with the Wad Manager

 

[Scribs84]

I have tested these games with the IOS_fix:

Harvest Moon TOT: As ZarathustraX said no artifacts and no crashing in town!!
Big Brain Academy: Perfect
Ghost Squad: Great
No More Heroes: Great
Resident Evil 4: Great (sometimes with the other IOS I would get some artifacts and I couldn't load seperate ways)
Lost in Blue Shipwrecked: Great


All games are scrubbed and NTSC. Im on a 3.3 NTSC system.

Keep up the great friggin work Wiigator. You really are the god damn man.

 

[Scribs84]

@Venom228:

Wad Manager!

EDIT: I always forget about the edit button srry for the double post

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Anyone know if the cios fix fixes videos? Or are they still laggy?

 

[ether2802]

Oh meeeeen...!!! nothing worked:

Re-download the game from Wii Shop
Unistall all cIOS and DVDx stuff, thru AnyTitleDeleter
Erase the wads (and their saves), installed thru the wad manager...lol
Use the AnyTitleDeleter to delete RF8E, RMVE and R4QP (wich I tought could cause trouble 'cuz they don't work, and the last one is PAL)

I don't really want to format the Wii because of my save on the SSBB (can't copy to SD), and the lazzyness of installing the HBC again but maybe that's the only option I have, the game worked all the time but the last time we played with 2 players was before installing all the cIOS and DVDx stuff, that's why I tought it could be that but apparently not, any other ideas beside of the format, are welcome...!!!

by the way the game is Mario Kart 64 (VC)

Anyone know if the cios fix fixes videos? Or are they still laggy?

laggy

 

[deshwasi]

i cant decide between waiting for WiiGator to unload the goods or go with the cios_fix in the meanwhile.. can someone test Star Wars Force Unleashed if it works A-OK with the cios_fix? also, do we need to do the "GC" option before each game (for WiiGator loader + cios_fix) or is this a one-time thing?

 

[OneUp]

Not sure what is going on here, but after installing the cios_fix properly nothing but the games it fixed work. (Sonic atSR is now working) If I try to run anything with wiigator's with gc pad nothing works. Not sure exactly what I might have done wrong. I can switch back and forth though between the cios's. Sonic only works with waninkoko's by the way.

 

[ppc_gba]

ok, so if you're too lazy to go into the options every time and hit gc pad, i made a version with all the hooks disabled. please tell me if it causes/solves any problems. as far as i can tell, compatibility is the same as choosing the gc pad option, since it's basically the same thing (except all hooks are now disabled in this version). i think the hooks are just for debugging, but i'm not sure.

tried this with wario: shake it, and still appears not to work. when wario starts though, the wiimote disconnects from the system and it freezes, even the reset button won't work. that makes me think that wario is crashing for another reason. it might help to determine more about how waninkoko's launcher operates, and what the offset patches are for when it loads a game.

here is the backuplauncher_hook program.

 

[CharAznable]

So with the new cIOS, Mario Kart freezes on me after I complete a GP. Anyone else had this problem?

EDIT: Also, in some courses, the game will lock up for a second or two in the middle of gameplay, but then resume as normal. Weird.

Well it worked for me with version 0.1 wihtout the cios_fix.. It was the NTSC version. I was able to get past the part the compatibility char says crashes.

Thats great and thanks a million - saves me having to make a change every time i load - any chance this could be made into a channel as well ?
I dont mind myself but i have a friend with a 5 year old that needs a click click type of version , and this works great with the games that didnt work before so if i had a channel id totally re-organise my zip and how to files and get rid of the files that werent required any more.
