I have already installed the HBC but I wanted to know if I needed to use the "October 23rd Wii Fix by ‘a_running_pir8’" before installing the backup loader gamma? 3.3u is the October 23rd right?

You don't need to install the Oct 23rd update, you can happily install the backuploader and CIOS without bothering. The Oct 23rd update was not 3.3, 3.3 existed before this update. The Oct23rd update was an updated Wiishop channel (and the unsafe Nintendo version of this update also patched trucha signing out of most IOSs).
The only thing you can't do without the Oct23 update is access the Wii shop channel - if you want to do this, install one of the safe versions. I used Tona's.
(hope this helps, I just wanted to post on the 420 page

Guys, I have a question that was never answered... If I have the cIOS installed, will the Backup Loader still work if I update to the new October 23rd update?
While I'm at it, which cIOS is better to use: Wiigator's or Waninkoko's?

I always get my cIOS from Waninkoko's links, but that's just me, YMMV. I think use his if you want to use Menu Patcher.

Seems to me, using Waninkoko's cIOS with Menu Patcher causes my backups to boot and load during gameplay faster than when using Gamma.

So if I update my Wii and Wiigator come out with a new version of his backup loader which will require a new cIOS, will it come in Wad format so I can use install it?

It is basically the alternative for people without wifi. If you dont have wifi you will need to download a whole bunch of tiny files and put them in the 000000001 folder on the root of your SD card.

Is the gamma loader which is out an official release or is it only a beta or something? Cause on the first page it still says gamma 3 is still in closed beta testing.

Gamma has been released to the general public.

Hey guys, great work on the Loaders! Very handy!

I just have one issue, though, ever since I updated to gamma, whenever I run games they have the two black bars on the sides of the screen and this didn't use to happen with the beta version...Any way I can correct this? And does anyone else have these bars?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I will start by saying I love Backup Launcher and have a few questions about updating from beta.

1: I have done my homework and see that I install the new Cios over the original, no need to delete the beta Cios

2: My Wii is version 3.3U, do I need to downgrade it to install gamma? I was at 3.3U when I installed beta so I guess the answer is no. I could not find a clear answer to this in the forums.

3: I am using the backup loader channel that was included in the beta installer package from this site. Should I uninstall this channel with the wad manager and install the new gamma channel? I noticed that the gamma channels came with and without the autoloader feature. Is the autoloader what lets you load discs from the Wii's disc channel? I dont care anything about loading through the disc channel so I guess I need the "no autoloader" version.

Thanks in advance for replies.

You can uninstall the channel or get a channel from the same person and it should overwrite it. Auto boot just means it will skip the config menu.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
