Hacking Backup Launcher by Wiigator

[Rcolon85]

@ Jordan

you got it just check Djtaz's signature for files

 

[djtaz]

EDIT: djtaz, oh i didn't know u've been keeping that updated. should have read ur sig. thanks. so its cios_fix for the ios and boot_hook.dol from the homebrew launcher?

Yup - and i think i have the older files in a folder called OLD in case u want to uninstall anything though i dont think you need to really.

Does this breakthrough for a better faster v0.3 release have anything to do with an original correctly signed version of Nintendo’s Backup disc, which was left in a console after repairs? Available on net now. (Wii Backup Disc v1.31 USA)

 

[IronMask]

I read in a thread that disc you just mentioned was only to repair friend codes.. so no I dont think that has anything to do with this thread

 

[djtaz]

IronMask is correct - they are unrelated.
Also that disc was only discovered recently and the new v0.3 release was being beta tested for the last 2-3 weeks.

Where can we read about people's adventures with the 0.3 beta? The compatibility list seems void of new information about playability and such.

that repair disc is so small, it's not even worth burning (17.7 MB compressed), we could probably just run it from an SD card.

The disc just mentioned was leaked back in February and wasn't responsible for any breaktroughs in homebrew AFAIK.

Just for a laugh I got the .iso of that, and patching it works, creating a 266MB patched .iso

Now burn it on CD or DVD?

Edit: CD Did not work, anyone want me to test DVD?

In this thread is about the only place really - the beta testers are posting here but there is no official release yet so info is limited -

Playability looks to be very close to 100%
Wiigaotr is working on getting it working for patched and non patched games before release
Online play works on all tested.
Read speeds are 3x but is a lot better coded so the difference between normal and modded load times is very close - about 1 or 2 seconds in difference.
DVDx is not required for the new one

again this is info gathered as we go , but more will be known when its released - and if you or anyone asks when ... december 23rd (no thats no true but it will stop you asking)

OK so about the cIOS fix. So it's not made by Wiigator or Waninkoko. Is the boot.dol in djtaz zip a new third loader? If so will the cIOS fix work with WiiGator. And about the new wiigator loader coming out. Will it have a new cIOS? If not will the fix work?

Your mixing up the cIOS_fix and the boot loader - two different things.

The cIOS_fix is a modified IOS that changed the memory areas used that crashed ceratin games - it now runs them.---- see the ISSUES AND ANSWERS in my sig ? its all on the first post
the boot loader is a new loader written to save people having to select GB PAD on the original loaders for every game.

we are unsure of the setup of the new loader until its released except anyone who hasnt got wireless will need the files in the first part of my sig.

A question for the beta testers....
I've noticed that with the CIOS fix version, or any version for that matter that you run under GC pad, doesnt allow the cheat codes to work (im assuming the hook used for applying them was removed.
So my question is can anyone out there on version 3 let us know if the ocarina/wiird/geckos codes work with the new loader?
Anyone?

Now theres a new one for the issues and answers thread - id like to know this myself if anyone has time to let us know. Thanks digitydog and thanks guys in advance for answering.

 

[BIG MOE]

I think the most important part is to come with the first release of a good coded loader with most bug fix and compatibility , then I guess cheat codes and gecko os will be easier to add and support

 

[zidane_genome]

It's all because of friggin' Raiyu saying he had the OK to release it so all the noobs had mindgasms and creamed their tighty-whiteys and now they won't shut up about this today/tomorrow crap.

OMG, can I please steal this for my sig? That was just perfect!

 

[zidane_genome]

OK, everyone, I just got a reply back from WiiGator...

I asked if I could become part of the beta testing...

Here's the reply;

Thanks for wanting to be part of the beta team, but I've got enough right now. And to answer your question of when the next release will be, I'm looking at the 3ed week of November right now. I want to make sure all the code is clean, and well written, and want as many games as can be tested before I let it out in the wild.

There, you go, 3ed week of November, now, stop asking!
