What the hell does Menu Loader do anyway?

Is it new? Who made it? Is it another Backup Loader that loads from the disc channel? What's its compatibility like? Does it work with patched/unpatched games? What kinds of discs can it read?

This was all sprung on me unexpectedly.

So it just shows the games' banners? I was wondering why Linkinworm didn't press the start button. lol

Hmm...that could be beneficial to Wiigator and Waninkoko, though.

If they can get in touch with the people who made Menu Loader, then maybe some code could be combined and altered and we could be on our way to making games boot from the disc channel.

Ok, back to my question... does anyone know how to get this to run? I've done everything I can think of... do you need a special IOS installed?

Got a question about Menu Loader.. not sure if I'll get deleted or not, but worth a shot...

I'm loading via HomeBrew Channel (made an icon and xml sheet for it)

I've tried 249, 37, 36, 35... but I can't get it to load with 1:1 or patched... I turn on Region US, is that what I'm doing wrong?

Just wanna see it load the title for backups on my own Wii, lol

It doesn't work with any of the public CIOS' ATM.

also, linkinworm said that you can patch the ISO to use IOS 249 using one of waninkokos public apps and it should load through the disc channel with the menu loader.
 
Wait...what? Seriously? As in press START and the game will load up?

EDIT: Or do you just mean it will show the game banner but it won't load the actual game?
 
Yes, that is what I mean.

Edit: as in press start and the game will load up, but you still need the currently unreleased CIOS.
 
No, as in Press Start and your Wii will freeze... it won't load the game, it just shows the banner at this point...

But what about raven's Menu Loader... is it the same one, or what? This is a huge step to using the disc channel for the backup loaders...

wow Nice~! BackUp CDs can be loaded from the system menu~! Cool stuff~! Keep up the great work WiiGATOR~!

As for the people who keep requesting the feature for this loader to play patched games is redundant.
If and when an ISO loader does in fact come out, I am pretty sure it be impossible to load patched games.
It is best to keep the original ISO intact! Quit crying over some lost bandwidth and re-download the game~!

Fuk it, Im a PIRATE~!

The cool kids make their own ISO's.

The whole loading backup's from the system menu isn't complete yet it seems. the ISO's need to be pactched to use IOS 249 or something along the lines of that, and linkinworm seems to imply that there isn't an easy way to do that.

noo, you can do it, using waninkokos IOS version patcher to patch the games to IOS249, but iv already made the games unpatched, dont want 3 copies of all my games, that and it would take longer all the time to run though menu rather than the loader because id have to run the system menu changer everytime. this was just a "the menu can in theory run the backup games" it should be in the final(0.3/(maybe if version number changes for some reason)0.4) without haveing to patch games to cIOS version.

Here's something funny...

Load the Menu Loader program... and load via IOS36 or lower... then once you get to your menu, do a Wii Update (if your at 3.3 already)...

It'll actually download the 3.3 update to install... and install it! But if your at 3.3, it won't do anything but overwrite the files, and restart your Wii...

Neat little thing there... not sure if anyone can use that info, but there ya go!
 
I found this link of the VIDEO test comparison of the new wii Backup loader. I AM NOT sure if it hasn't been posted already because, I am only reading bits of this thread.

just woundering if it worked they said its a clone of Waninkoko's cios was conserned for the safty of everyones wii my falt
 
No, tona's port does not include the DIP module, it just has all the other components of waninkoko's cIOS r5, thus it will not work with any of the backup loaders.
