Here's a preview of how the gamma is going to look like...

It's a bad preview... photo was done with cellphone...
And if you ask, what's the Rebooter....

This option will give you the capability to run your 1:1 Copies through the disc channel.
But first it must be started once...

What's the point of running a game through the disc channel though if you have to launch gamma beforehand? Why not just go to launch game in the gamma menu?

I was thinking the gamma was going to let us boot from the disc menu when we first put a disc in, like an original disc.

Nice work Shizzza.

Glad there's no WIISHIZZZA all over the place like in your combined BLC. XD

2 suggestions.

1. Capitalize 'gamma' on the bottom, for neatness purposes
2. Put 0.3 somewhere on the banner

Um....maybe because that would be ... oh, I dunno ... IMPOSSIBLE?

How do you run a program without running it and use a feature that you would only be able to use by running it first?

Just take a minute to think about it, it'll make sense.

wigator said he didnt make it a permanent hack due to possible brick issues. i have a feeling if you use menuloader with the next ios it will work that way as well... time to update starfall to force use an ios on boot?

not that bad of a picture.
So the rebooter is only needed once then the games should launch via the disk channel from there on after ??

i got your channel from your sig. was not sure what it was i just downloaded it and put it on my wii. It actualy over wrote the other loader channel i had installed,dont know if that was ment to do that or not. that works great, all the fix's in one so we dont need to wonder if we got the new fix's.

What gave you that idea, nowhere on any threads has it been said that the orig IOS can be hooked to do this, menu loader has already managed to show backups in the disc channel using IOS249. Looks like Wiigator has taken this one step further so the backup can actually be launched from the channel. Nice one.

When someone mentions that games can "be launched from disc channel" then it's pretty easy to assume it would work like an original, basically since launching the backup launcher just to reboot and use the disc channel when they both do the same exact thing seems pretty pointless. Silly me to assume such a thing.

I honestly don't care since my games work regardless, but everyone's been getting worked up over the disc channel like it's really going to revolutionize everything. And it might be a big stepping stone, who knows, but not according to you apparently.

not really Luriden because i assume once you turn you console on and use the rebooter.

that when you finish playing a game and return to the home screen it is still active so you can insert the next disc and play straight from the Disc Channel

useful if your playing multiple backups in a session.

It is pointless, but lots of people want it.

If you use the rebooter though, from then on you will just be able to use the system menu/disc channel until you next reboot (select wii menu after pressing home and swap discs). You won't need to load the copy-loader every time.

Ah, gotcha. That's pretty cool indeed, I never thought of that. I figured you'd still have to launch the backup launcher for every disc regardless.

kind of like a temp. patch so you can load with the disk channel
is ther any other fixes in this that are not out) or is it just the current loader all fancy'd up?
